Experimental Theater
Location: Room 715, General Studies Building
With its drama lighting system and stage, the Experimental Theater has always been the venue where the department hosts its drama shows.

The room also serves as a lecture hall and is used to host keynote speech sessions when the department hosts a conference.
English Seminar Room
Location: Room 301-1, General Studies Building
Located in Room 301-1 of the General Studies Building, the English Seminar Room is primarily used for MA and EMA classes, graduate student seminars, thesis proposals, oral defense examinations, and specialized faculty small-group teaching sessions.
Lecture Classrooms
The Lecture Classrooms are general-purpose classrooms that are mostly used for lectures. Because of the movable desks and chairs in these rooms, the rooms are occasionally converted to other uses including meetings and dance lessons after the desks and chairs are rearranged or cleared away. These rooms also serve as presentation venues when the department hosts a conference.
