Advantages

Privacy
The headset/microphone provides students with a psychological privacy that promotes their speaking ability. It reduces the inhibitions felt in normal classroom situations and encourages the shy student to speak. The instructor can speak to a single or group of students in privacy without disturbing the rest of the class.

Attention
As the language lab allows the student to listen to the program stimulus individually, each individual student's attention is focused on the program material being studied, ultimately increasing the attention span of the student and teaching the student to listen and analyze the content of the lesson.

Excitement
Students become excited when using learning lab systems. The student's attention is heightened and the boredom of repetitive learning is lifted.

Teacher monitoring
Since the teacher is not concentrating on producing the next question or drill, he/she can concentrate more on the student responses. The instructor has more time to produce materials and oversea class activities due to the automatically, rather than manually, controlled instructor console features.
