As part of the university’s Library, the Centre supports four language schools and the twelve languages taught at Victoria along with linguistics and TESOL. Our two computer classrooms and fully equipped self-access lab offer exciting opportunities for extensive listening and speaking while connecting to the wider language communities out there. Our little library offers space for quiet study with reference books and magazines and multimedia periodicals. Come and hear about our events and services for students and staff to inspire excellence in language learning and teaching.  Please contact Edith Paillat for further information.
