Preface
The American Language Course (ALC) is a comprehensive, multilevel language program for
teaching English for vocational and professional purposes. It is designed primarily for intensive
English language training in a classroom setting, but can easily be adapted for slower-paced
instruction. The ALC's curriculum has been developed by the Béfense Language Institute
English Language Center (DLIELC), which is a US Department of Defense school under the
operational control of the US Air Forcé. The primary focus of the ALC is to provide a language
curriculum for a diverse international military population. To that end, the course includes not
only general English tapies, but also military topics of a general nature highlighting the typical
language military personnel will encounter in their professional and vocational career ñelds.
The ALC has, however, also been very successfully used in non-military learning environments
and in US high schools with immigrant student populations.

AMERICAN LANGUAGECOURSE
Notes to the Student
The American Language Course focuses on four coraponents of langu&ge learuing:
, grammatical stritctures, language functions, and skills.
* The lessoms preaent vocabulary (individual words as well as expressionej that the
learner nccds to understand and use in arder to communlcate efTectively in English*
Each new lesson builds on the vocabulary of the previous lessous. The language
inctuded is appropriate for learners workingin professional and vocationnl
A significan! feature of the General English phase of the ALC is that military
vocabulary ia included wherever applicable.
« The presentaron of grammar is carefully sequenced, The grammatical s
presented in the lessons are the forms a language learner needs in order to speak
and write standard English, New Caminar is oflen depicted in charts or tahle* that
serve to focus the learner's attention on the particular structuro being presented.
* Language fnnctions are the ways we use a language to cominunicate. In each leeson,
exercises that focus on functions show the learner how and when to use certain
wordñ, phrases, and sentences.
* In addition, language and academic skills exercisea are interspersed throughout the
lessons, These focus on developing the learner's language proficiency i n ]istening,
speaking, reading, and writing-
The Scupe and Sequence chart lacated on the previous page shows the contení c*f the
eurrent book. The four columns outline the new material as it relates to the
acquisition components described above. Each lesson begin^ with a table of
followed by a preview page. The preview page provides a sumrnary of the new material
presented in the leason. Each ALC book has four lessons introducing new material
and one review lesson. These are followed by a homework section and rlaily evaluation
exerciseH. Various appendices are also included.
The homework and the evaluation exercises are aL Ihe back of this text. It generally
takeñ about two hours to complete the daily homework assignments, The evaluation
exercises are short quizzes that give both the teachcr and the student feedback on how
well students have learned the material.
The appendices follow the fifth leason. Appendix A provides an alphñbetieal list of
new vocabulary presented in this book. The number of the leason in wliich each word
or phrase is introducid is provided nest to the entry. Appendix B presents a list of
grammatieal atructures introducid in the book; a lesson number is provided along with
each ontry for easy reference. The other appendices are included as reference materials-
