inñtruction. The ALC's Cuiríciilum has been developed by the Béfense Language Inslitute
English Language Center IDLIELC), which is a US Department of Béfense school under the
operalional control of the US Air Forcé. The prímary focus of the ALC is to provide a language
curriculum for a diverse international military pnpulation. To that end, the course indudes nol
only general English topics, but also military topics of a general naturc highUghtmg the typical
language military personnel will cnoounter in their professional and vocational career ficlds,
The ALC has, however, also been very successfully used in non-military learníng cnvironmtnts
and in US high schools with immigrant student populations.

Notes to the Student
The American Language Course focuscs on four components of language learning:
vocabiílary, grammatical structures, language functionsr and skiíls.
• The lessons present vocabulary (individual words as well as expressions) that the
learner needs to understand and use in order to commumcatc effcctively in English.
Each new lesson buildson the vaca bulary of the previous lessons. The language
included is appropriate for learners working in professional and vocationa) contexto.
A signiíicant feature of the General English phase of the ALC is that military
vocabulary i 3 included wherever applicable,
• The presentation of grammar is carefully sequenced. The grammatical structures
presented m the lessons are the forms a language learner needs in order to speak
and write standard English. New grammar is often depicted in charts or tablea that
serve to focus the learner's attention on the particular structure being prescnted.
" Language functions are the ways we ase a languago to communicate. Tn each lesson,
exercises that focus on functions show the learner how and whtn to use certain
words, phrases, and sentences.
• In additíon, language and academic skills exercise^ are inLursjit-rstíd throughout Lhe
lessons, These focus on developing the learncr's language proficiency in listening,
speaking, reading, and writing.
The Scope and Sequence chart located on the previaus page shows the content of the
current book, The four columns outline the new material as ít relates to the language
acquisition components described above. Each lesson begins with a table of contenta
followed by a preview page. The preview page provides a summary of the new material
presented in the lesson, Each ALC book has four lessons introdudng new material
and one review lesson, These are followed by a homework section and daily avalnation
exercises, Variouw appendices are also included,
