It’s easy to book a dedicated, well-equipped space for modern and ancient language practice and connection at FAS.
How We Can Help
We provide resources for individual and group learning in our facility equipped with multimedia equipment, two smart seminar rooms, and a classroom with videoconferencing equipment.
Here are some of the ways we help facilitate language learning at FAS
