This image shows Professor J. Roy Prince standing behind a desk while three students are standing in front of workstations in the language lab in the Department of Foreign Languages at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967) in the 1960s. Another student is seen wearing a headset in the foreground'. Programs in the Department of Foreign Languages focus on teaching students both the language and culture of a region, and includes courses in French, Spanish, Chinese, German, Arabic, Japanese, Latin, and Russian, as well as offering classes for international business and economics majors in the College of Business. The Language Lab had 54 booths with electronic attachments, where students listened to prerecorded tapes designed to enhance the student's ability to comprehend, pronounce, and speak the language.
