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.

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.

2. They’r e ___________________
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 7
Figure 8
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.

Lesson 2A
AUDIO TRACK 1
(1) Hello. Open your book to the Language Laboratory Activities for
Lesson 2A. (pause 6 sec)
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.
Number 2 is false. Listen: The reserves never have to fight like the
military do because they are civilians. Repeat: The reserves fight and
engage in combat.
Number 4 is true. The president has the power to call up the reserves.
Repeat: The president has the power to call up the reserves.

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.
(13) Look at Figure 7. Listen to a question and use the words in the
box to answer it. (pause as marked and for repetition)

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 dependable men and women help us
maintain our freedom. They are a great assistance to our Armed Forces
in the maintenance of peace.
(16) Look at Figure 9. Listen to the paragraph and fill in the blanks.
ALLIES IN SECURITY
John took steps to keep his home secure while he was on vacation.
He locked his windows and doors and arranged for his neighbors to pick

asked them to be on the alert. The police appreciated the information.
It helps them maintain, or keep, our homes safe. When the home owner
and the police work together as allies, it helps in the maintenance of
peace and security. Because he knew the police were taking care of his
home, John had the freedom to enjoy his vacation to the fullest.

(1 male voice )
Good morning friends. This is Harry Harper with your weekly report
on "Highway Happenings". There's some good news and some bad news for
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
for today. Join me next week for more Highway Happenings on station
KALC.
(3) Listen again to the radio news report, and then circle the topic.

Forces Week? (pause 8 sec)
AUDIO TRACK 16
(30) Look at Figure 7. Listen to the speaker again and fill in the
blanks .
I have listened to and read all the speeches made in San Antonio
about Armed Forces Week. Whether it was the Governor or another of the
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.

car in the street? Repeat: so the children can play there
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.
