The Listening & Speaking Center is just one of many programs in The Student Success Center designed to support your language learning experiences at De Anza College. You don't have to be enrolled in an English or a Speech class to take advantage of our services. Stop by AT 304 and we will give you a tour of our center!

Fall 2011
In the fall, starting week two, we will be offering a variety of free conversation practice workshops, special topic workshops, and tutoring opportunities for De Anza students. Joining these activities is a great way to improve your communication skills and make friends at the same time. We also offer a language exchange program every quarter where you can share your first language with a student at De Anza learning that language. For more information about these and other programs offered in AT 304, click on the topics listed on the sidebar or scroll down the page for more information.

Listening and Speaking Center (ATC 304)
The LSC in the Advanced Technology Center opened in the fall of 2002 for students at De Anza who want to improve their language communication skills. You can tape and evaluate your presentations in small recording rooms, improve your English proficiency using ESL software, and join one of our partnership programs. In addition to The Language Exchange, you can join the Cross Cultural Partners program (CCP), and both partnerships engage students in rewarding cultural exchanges. We are also very excited about the dedicated tutors who have come forward from the Speech Department and from Academic Skills to help students prepare their speeches and improve their speaking and vocabulary skills.

Come up and see us on the third floor of the Advanced Technology Center to find out more about our programs! ATC 304 is located just to the right at the top of the stairs. You can also call us at 864-5385
