Two years ago my school provided us with 2 amazing laguage laboratories. But, believe it or not, almost anyone has used them since then. There you can make chat conversations, make groups where they can interact using microphones and earphones. It �s possible to make exams which are automatically scored, project movies, have a access to internet, etc. 

What most of the teacher say is that it �s complicated to use them and that they had fogotten almost everything they learnt in the course we were given. 

The question is: What can I do to motivate teachers? My new job consists on have the laboratories in use most of the time.

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE FOR YOU PRECIOUS SUGGESTIONS!!!

 

You could get the other teachers to arrange to observe you with a class using the laboratories, when they see how motivated the students are and how amazing you can make your lessons they may be encouraged to do it themselves. I would hold a staff meeting in the laboratories and treat the staff as students to show them a model lesson, then let them have a go themselves. It might just refresh their memories back to the training that you received. I think the movie option sounds like a great place to start.

Good luck with it all, hope my ideas help a little,
