The language policy of the SALC is English only. The purpose of this policy is to maximize the opportunities for authentic language practice. However, if a learner needs to talk with a learning advisor in Japanese, then this is also possible if they meet outside the SALC. Overseas students learning Japanese can use Japanese at the counter if they wish, and can talk to a learning advisor in Japanese or English!
All the learning advisors and staff in the SALC can speak English, but many of them can speak other languages too!
