Services for Instructors 

Our expert staff is here to help you deliver excellence in language instruction.

We provide direct support to faculty members and fellows in FAS who are engaged in the teaching of languages and cultures other than English.

If you do not see a support resource that meets your needs,we can coordinate support from other units across FAS.

Spaces

The LC provides access to four flexible spaces that may be used for class meetings, events, videoconferencing, or testing.  All spaces may be reserved by filling out a reservation request form.

Media

We have transitioned our streaming media service to the Harvard Library system, and they will continue to provide access to media for instruction, in compliance with educational fair use.

Please submit requests to reserves@harvard-as.libanswers.com.

Computers & Software

We provide access to a number of laptops, which may be checked out for use within our spaces by students and faculty.  These computers allow for multilingual word processing, the use of writing aids in a number of languages, audio recording, and webcams for teletandem and other communicative activities; they also come with microphone headsets as needed.  Requests for software to be added to our laptops, or to be made available to FAS students via subscriptions or other licensing should go to language@fas.harvard.edu.

Other Technology

We own and circulate equipment to faculty and designated students for specialized use.  This includes field audio recorders, miniature video cameras, and more. 

Reserving a group area for your class

Instructors may reserve any of our group areas and classrooms for a single class meeting or standing reservation. See descriptions of the reservable spaces on our facilities page.

To reserve a room, call the Language Center Front desk at (617) 495-9448 or submit your request through our online request form.

For all streamed media requests, please email us at reserves@harvard-as.libanswers.com.

Faculty and students may request use of our spaces for media screenings, as long as the attendees are all enrolled in the course.  Check the calendar and schedule a group meeting.
