Reception

Members of the CLIC staff greet students and visitors at the Tandberg Prisma Main Console reception area, where all technical features of the center can be managed.

PC Area

The 15-station PC area is networked to the Tandberg Prisma Language system and receives full audio and digital output from the master teacher console. Each station also receives satellite programming, plays DVD movies in designated regional settings, and connects to the Bentley network,providing access to the Internet and an array of multimedia language instructional programs.

Lounge

In the lounge, students and staff can relax and talk, watch international news, or read.

Global Theater

The 24-seat theater presents international satellite programming in six languages: French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Hindi, and Arabic. Equipped with two 42-inch plasma screens and the Tandberg Vision 6000 Video Conferencing technology, the theater also offers real-time conferencing among Bentley students and professors and their counterparts overseas. VCR and DVD technology provide viewing of instructional materials, movies, and documentaries in both U.S. and international formats.

Bistro Rooms

Our multilingual student staff uses any one of two individual bistro-style rooms to engage in one-on-one conversations with students in the language under study. Access to the Internet in each room allows students and staff to explore the many international web sites providing additional exposure to authentic language.
