Language Clinic: A Small- Scale Self-Access Centre for First-Year Students at Mahidol University

Abstract

This paper reports what a Language Clinic project is and how it worked for three academic years (1998 - 2000) at Mahidol University. This project aimed to help first-year students at Mahidol University, Salaya Centre practice their English skills by using the principles of self–access learning. It was also helpful as a small-scale self-access centre and the feedback on the project has been important in the proposed setting up of the Language Learning Centre in the year 2002 when the university becomes autonomous.
