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 Defense
Language Institute English Language Center (DLIELC), which is a US Department of
Defense school under the operational control of the US Air Force. 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 topics, but also military topics of a

professional and vocational career fields. The ALC has, however, also been very successfully
used in non-military learning environments and in US high schools with immigrant student
populations.
Course components
The coordinated instructional packages for Books 1-30 consist of the following:
> Instructor text (IT)
> Student text(ST)
> Homework and evaluation exercises booklet (HW and EE)
> Audio recordings (tape or CD)
> Language laboratory activities text with audio scripts and answer key (LLAT)
> Computer-delivered interactive multimedia instruction (IMI) for Levels I-IV
> Quiz kit
> Optional training aids
New in 2012
To better meet the needs of students and instructors, the previous student and instructor
language laboratory activities texts have been repackaged into a single book. Each of
these books provides all the elements of the previous student and instructor texts under
one cover: exercise and activity pages, audio scripts, and answer keys. The books are fully
coordinated with the audio recordings and provide ALC students the possibility of self­
directed learning.

BOOK 20 LANGUAGE LABORATORY ACTIVITIES


NOTES TO THE STUDENT

This booklet contains the Language Laboratory Activities (LLA) for Book 20.

• You will need a pen or pencil and this booklet to do the activities correctly.

• All directions are given orally on the audio recording which is approximately
20 minutes long. It is important to listen carefully to the instructions and to do
the things the recording tells you to do.

• You will be told to repeat words or sentences and to ask and answer questions.

• You will also be told to choose and mark certain words or expressions, or to
write special words, phrases, or sentences.

• Most of the time the recording will give you the correct answers right away, so
you can check your work.

• The Audio Scripts and Answer Key are located in the second part of the book.

• Relax, listen carefully, and respond!

NOTE: In order to accommodate both the first and second editions of the ALC, some
changes in the sequencing of objectives have been made to the Language Laboratory
Activity booklets. Specifically for Book 20, the grammar objective “to-inflnitive as direct
object” is now included in Lesson 3A. It was originally in Book 19 and was not removed from
the LLA booklet.

THE RESERVES

The reserves are people who are not professional military men or women.
Nevertheless, they serve as additional or extra support for the military. They
train regularly and keep fit so they are ready to fight. They are always ready
for combat, ready to do battle or engage in war to defend or protect their
country. The President has the authority to call up the reserves. He can do
this when the country is at war (fighting another country) or at peace. He can
authorize the military to call the reserves to duty any time there is a serious
threat or danger to the country’s security. Whenever a situation or condition
threatens or puts the country or its people in danger, we can rely on the
reserves to help keep us safe.

WAR GAMES

The military trains its reserves to be ready for combat. Occasionally,


the military has war games. These are games played by using situations
and conditions similar to those in war. First the men are notified that they
are going on alert. They are told to report for duty immediately and to be
prepared for an emergency.

FIELD GAMES

Sometimes war games are played in the field. The reserves are divided
into groups and given different goals. They are assigned special areas and
responsibilities. One group’s responsibility is defense. This defense group
must defend the area in its borders. The borders are the lines which divide
the areas from each other. The defense group must stop everyone from taking
over its area. Another group is an attack group. The attack group attacks
or strikes first. Its goal is to take over, or get control of, the defense group’s
area. These two groups become enemies during the games. Each one tries to
beat the other. The third group is a group that doesn’t participate in attacks
or defense. It’s neutral and doesn’t take sides. It doesn’t help either side. Its
job is to watch and settle any problems between the enemies. It helps the two
groups reach agreements.

Figure 8

KEEPING THE PEACE

Our country takes all possible steps to help the people of the world
remain free and secure. It does everything it can to maintain freedom and
keep its people safe. The reserves are an important part of this goal. They
help us as well as our allies or other friendly nations. These alert, ready
forces of depend-able men and women help us maintain our freedom. They
are a great assistance to our Armed Forces in the maintenance of peace.

BOOK 20 LANGUAGE LABORATORY ACTIVITIES LESSON 3A 37


Figure 2

The transmission supplies the engine with a system of gears. The


function of the gears is to transmit the power that is produced by the engine.
There are two types of transmissions: a standard transmission and an
automatic transmission.

The clutch pedal in standard transmission cars connects or disconnects


the gears from the engine. A driver controls this action by stepping on
and releasing the clutch pedal. Speed is obtained by shifting gears and by
stepping on the gas pedal, or accelerating. Gears are shifted manually by
using the gear shift lever. In cars with automatic transmissions, this is
accomplished automatically in the transmission.

paragraph. Listen and then select.
Number 1: In the early days in America, kitchens were usually large
rooms in the house. Cooking was done over a fire which also
helped to warm the whole house. In those days, kitchen work
was difficult. Wood for the fire and water were brought in
from outside. The tools used in the kitchen were all big
and heavy. Today's modern kitchens are designed to save

1 AMERICAN LANGUAGE COURSE


time and energy. Many of them have dishwashers, stoves,
and refrigerators. They are designed to make work easier
for the one who has to cook and clean up. The kitchen of a
home is not only where all the family's meals are prepared,
however. The family may also eat there. The kitchen is
often a gathering place, too. Many people feel most
comfortable talking with their friends in a warm kitchen.

(7) Now select the topic of the paragraph in Number 1. (pause 8 sec)
The answer is b. The topic of the paragraph is kitchens in the past
and the present.

(8) Now listen to another paragraph and then select the topic.
Number 2: Good meals take a lot of planning. Everyone needs to know
how to plan meals that are healthy. A good daily diet
should include the foods that are necessary to good health.
One daily food requirement is vitamin C. This is found in
oranges and lemons. You should also have meat, eggs, and
green vegetables. Other important items are two or more
glasses of milk and two or three slices of bread. All these
items provide the necessary vitamins. In addition, you
should try to avoid a lot of sweet desserts, because they
are not very healthy. Natural sugar like that in fresh
fruit is better for your health. A good meal planner will
include foods that are full of vitamins at every meal.

(9) Now select the topic of the paragraph in Number 2. (pause 8 sec)

THE RESERVES

The reserves are people who are not professional military men or
women. Nevertheless, they serve as additional or extra support for the
military. They train regularly and keep fit so they are ready to fight.
They are always ready for combat, ready to do battle or engage in war
to defend or protect their country. The President has the authority
to call up the reserves. He can do this when the country is at war
(fighting another country) or at peace. He can authorize the military
to call the reserves to duty any time there is a serious threat or
danger to the country's security. Whenever a situation or condition
threatens or puts the country or its people in danger, we can rely on
the reserves to help keep us safe.

FIELD GAMES

Sometimes war games are played in the field. The reserves are
divided into groups and given different goals. They are assigned
special areas and responsibilities. One group's responsibility is
defense. This defense group must defend the area in its borders. The
borders are the lines which divide the areas from each other. The
defense group must stop everyone from taking over its area. Another
group is an attack group. The attack group attacks or strikes first.
Its goal is to take over, or get control of, the defense group's area.
These two groups become enemies during the games. Each one tries to
beat the other. The third group is a group that doesn't participate
in attacks or defense. It's neutral and doesn't take sides. It doesn't
help either side. Its job is to watch and settle any problems between
the enemies. It helps the two groups reach agreements.

you this week. Are you ready for the good news?
Those of you who live in Air Force Heights are going to have a
beautiful six lane highway from the main entrance of Air Force Heights
to Gibbs Air Force Base.
No more long waits at the railroad crossing. No more worries about
getting stuck behind slow trucks or cars. And best of all, no more
problems with rising water at low water crossings. You're getting a
new superhighway, complete with a new bridge.
That's the good news. Are you ready for the bad news? It's going
to take two years to complete this highway. Work will begin on Monday.
The bridge will be closed for a year. Barricades will be put in place
at seven o'clock in the morning. Plan on going a different way to work.
New signal lights will be installed at Helicopter Lane and Airline
Road. That should help a little. Remember, leave home early on Monday
morning. You'll need time to go around the barricades. Well, that's all

Generals, it seemed to me I had heard it all before. Platitudes and
cliches.
It was as though none of the speakers had ever done guard
duty— because that's what it's all about: in war or peace, standing
there alone, hour after hour, often cold and wet, or in the blazing sun
to the point of exhaustion, fighting off sleep and a thousand personal
battles of the mind, yet remaining alert and ready to challenge and
defend.
Now, take the discomfort of that single person standing guard duty
and multiply it by every soldier, sailor, airman, and marine, here
at home and around the world, and you get the true meaning of Armed
Forces Week— standing on guard for America.

Traffic in large cities in the United States is a major problem.


During rush hour, the traffic stops or slows, sometimes for hours.
People going to or from work occasionally spend hours in their cars
waiting for the traffic to move. The newest help for traffic problems
is the helicopter. During rush hour, helicopters fly over the main

Listen carefully. You will have to answer some questions. (authentic

(2 voices: voice 1, female; voice 2, male)

voice 1: Well, Bob, here I am, checkbook in hand. What was the matter
with the blasted thing? Why was it stalling on me?
voice 2: Well, you haven't been taking very good care of your car.
You should have a regular maintenance program. You should
change the oil and the filter in your car every three to
five thousand miles, at least.
voice 1: Well, I know about changing the oil, but why is the oil
filter so important? What does it do?
voice 2: Well, it cleans the oil as it circulates through the engine.
You also need a new air and fuel filter.
voice 1: What do they do?
voice 2: Well, they clean the gasoline before it's mixed with air
and the air filter cleans the air before it's mixed with
the gasoline in the carburetor— or in your car, the fuel
inj ectors.
voice 1: What do the fuel injectors do?
voice 2: Well, they mix the air and fuel together in the proper
mixtures so it can be ignited in the cylinder. It doesn't
matter whether the car has a carburetor or fuel injector,
the air still needs to be clean before it's mixed with the
gasoline. Your car will be a lot better off in the future if
you pay attention to a regular maintenance program. Changing
the filters regularly can help your car run better and it
also prolongs the engine life. I also put in a new oil pump.
You were lucky the old pump hadn't gone out on you.

BOOK 20 LANGUAGE LABORATORY ACTIVITIES LESSON 4D AUDIO SCRIPTS 183


voice 1: What would have happened if it had?
voice 2: Well, the engine would have burned up. In other words, the
engine would have gotten so hot that it would've stopped
running because of the friction because of not having oil.
voice 1: That would have been a disaster. Did everything else check
out all right?
voice 2: Yeah. I checked the fuel pump and the water pump, too. They
were okay. Like I said, you were lucky. Seriously, you'll
save a lot of money in the long run, if you set up a regular
maintenance program for your car.
voice 1: Thanks, Bob, I will. Now, how much do I owe you this time?
Writing this check, which I can still afford to do right
now, will help me remember your advice, I'm sure.

Am erican Language Course

The American Language Course is a comprehensive, multilevel program


for adults that teaches English for vocational and professional purposes.
The ALC is designed primarily for intensive English language training in
a classroom setting, but it can be adapted for slower-paced instruction. A
significant feature of the ALC is the inclusion of basic military topics and
vocabulary.
Using traditional methods of language teaching as well as contemporary
communicative approaches, the ALC’s presentation is systematic and
carefully sequenced to ensure that learners can build on previously
acquired knowledge. Photographs, illustrations, charts, and tables explain
vocabulary and grammar, while dialogs and student-centered activities
introduce and reinforce language functions and skills. Each book is
supplemented by an instructional package that includes the following:
• Instructor text
• Student text
• Language laboratory activities text with audio scripts and answer keys
• Audio recordings
• Computer-delivered interactive multimedia instruction (IMI)
• Quiz kit
• Optional training aids

The ALC’s second edition features a completely revised student text with
an accompanying instructor text. Instructor notes offer detailed guidelines
for presenting classroom exercises, supplemental activities, and pertinent
cultural information. A variety of teaching strategies are provided to keep
students motivated and enliven the classroom.
