UNSPSC 45112100: Classroom and language laboratory equipment & interpretation system

A language laboratory is a dedicated space for foreign language learning where students access audio or audio-visual materials. They allow a teacher to listen to and manage student audio, which is delivered to individual students through headsets or in isolated sound booths.
