The Self-Access Learning Self-Access Learning Centre (SALC) at Kanda University of International Studies is a state of the art environment designed to help KUIS students to develop lifelong language learner autonomy (see SALC mission). The SALC is filled with over 11,000 resources such as books, magazines, games, DVDs, CDs and online resources in order to provide individualised learning opportunities for students. In addition to the large variety of materials, there are different areas and rooms within the SALC where students can carry out language learning. There are areas equipped with everything students need to use the materials such as CD, MP3 and DVD players, computer stations, speaking booths, group access areas and multi-purpose rooms (MPRs). The SALC is designed to enable students to learn in their own time and to develop language skills for the real world. Learning advisors and other staff are on hand to help users and the SALC offers various modules and courses designed to promote learner autonomy.
