Independent study
Research indicates that successful language learners revise new material and review their progress on a regular
basis. The Language Resources Centre (LRC), situated in room K-1.072 in level minus one of the Strand
Building, houses a wide collection of learning material including text and grammar books, magazines and
newspapers, CDs, DVDs, and self-access e-learning language programmes.
During term time the LRC facilitates free speaking practice sessions as well as a range of workshops on language
learning. For a list of topics and all dates and times, including the opening hours of the LRC, please go to the
