Learner Support
SOAS Language Centre provides a range of learning support activities and resources to its students.
Logging On
Language Centre students are given usernames and passwords at the beginning of your course, so that you can log on to our PCs here at SOAS, print and photocopy and -- anywhere in the world -- use the online materials which require a login. Look for the sheet with the PALM TREE on it. Can't find it? Send an e-mail to the Language Centre.

if your course has a Blackboard then you can log on here. Blackboards are normally set up during the first week of a course. Not all courses have a Blackboard.
