MAIN STUDY METHODS
Explore the Virtual Resource Centre. Useful areas include the ‘LPE Guide and practice resources.’
‘Advanced level resources’ include additional practice in grammar, listening, reading and writing.
VIRTUAL RESOURCE CENTRE (VRC)
How can I use the Virtual Resource Centre?
The VRC can be used to prepare for LPE exams as well as for additional studying beyond what has been discussed in class. In essence it is like the learning resource centre, but on line.
What kind of resources will be on the VRC?
LPE guides, online resources, directed self study materials etc.
Who is responsible for the VRC?
Language teachers are responsible for the content on the VRC. However, should you encounter any problems please do not hesitate to contact the language training programme intern.
When is the VRC available?
The VRC is available throughout the term and might be available during breaks as well; however, only the teacher has the right to decide what is available when.
Where is the VRC?
The VRC is available anywhere you have a computer and internet access, whether or not you are on the UN premises.
How do I access the VRC?
The VRC is accessible to any person enrolled in the language training programme. Log on to Moodle and with your username and password, and you will have access to the VRC.
Is the Virtual Resource Centre the same as the Learning Resource Centre?
Although both avenues of learning, there are materials in the LRC that cannot be put on the VRC due to copyright laws.
You can work in three ways with the VRC:
Autonomously as you wish
Following the Advanced course autonomously
Following a Directed Self Study course with the aid of a teacher—you need to be enrolled.
LANGUAGE RESOURCE CENTRE
If you are enrolled in our classes, you are welcome to visit our Resource Centre in Annex Bocage 2 Room 109. It is open 11am—3pm Monday to Friday and someone can help you.
You can work in many ways—on the computer accessing Moodle, with the internet, DVDs with worksheets, podcasts, reading comprehension and other exercises.
We also have a newspaper corner and a library of books you can borrow.
