Language Experiential Lab
With an intent to reimagine the language learning process, a mobile (non-static) Experiential Language Learning Lab has been newly developed at HSS, IIT Jammu. This Experiential Language Lab, constituted in 2025, is a consolidation of various methods and modes of Language instruction and training, supplemented by dedicated language learning software systems. The Lab then, is primarily a system of learning that is highly adaptable to different teaching spaces and classrooms, without being fettered to contingent infrastructural conditions.
At HSS IIT Jammu, we also have a dedicated space– a Multipurpose Hall to refine the academic English and interpersonal Communication skills of the students. The English language proficiency course offered by the HSS for the new cohort of BTech students would enable them to excel in all the dimensions for developing the essential skills i.e. LSRW with a student-centered approach.
Apart from the dedicated software systems, we guide students in their learning journey through Open-Access digital platforms and applications, operated through spaces with projecting facilities and AV equipment, as well as outdoor spaces, to encourage creative productions and disseminations, recitations and performances by the students, within a moderated participatory environment.
The Lab caters to the level based needs of the learners by providing them with an immersive experience, with AI tools and software and a variety of interactive activities led by the Instructors.
The Hall is a forum for the confluence of numerous ideas and thoughts with Debate, Film and Reading Clubs catering to the spirited target group and indulging in stimulating discussions.
The Language Experiential Lab is being implemented along with classroom engagement features and dedicated AI enhanced software to impart self paced learning modules. The software consisting of levels mapped with CEFR guidelines issues certifications to the students that they can link with their professional achievements.
The vision of this lab ensures that students actively participate and hone their soft skills. The language proficiency course offered here is a dedicated credit course to set the foundation for their future career paths.
