AMERICAN LANGUAGE GOURSE


Notes to the Student
The American Language Course focuses on four components of language acquisition;
vocabulary, grammar, language functÍQTis, and sktlls,
9
The lessons present vocabulaiy (individual words as well as expressions) that the
learner needs to understand and use in order to communicate effectívely in English,
Each new lesson builds on the vocabulary of the prevíous lessons. The language
included is appropriate for learners working in professional and vocational contexts.
Asignificant feature of the General English phase of the ALC is that military
vocabulary is included wherever applicable,
* The presentation of gratnmar is carefully sequenced. The graminaticQÍ structures
presented in the lessons are the forms a language learner needs in order to speak
and write English correctly. New grainmar is often depicted in charts or tables that
serve to focus the léameos attention on the particular stmctura heing presfnted.
* Language funcíions are the ways we use a language to communicate. In >, ,n\. lesson,
exercises that focus on funutions ahow the learner how and whe?t to use certain
words, phraaes, and sentences.
* In addition, skills exercises interspersed throughout the lessons focus on developíng
the learner's language proficiency in listening, speaking, reoding, and writingr
The Scope and Sequence chart located on the previous page shows the content that
makes up the curren! book. The four columns on the chart outline the new material as
it is related to the language acquisition components described above. A lesson begins
with a table of contents followed by a preview page. The preview page provides at a
glance a summary of the new material presented in the lesson. Each ALC book has
four lessons introducing new material and one review lesson, Thtí^e art fullowcd by u
homework section and daily evaluation exercises. Various appendicea are alao included
in the book.
The homework and the evaluation exercises are at the bock of this tcxt. Studciits will
require about two hours to complete the daily homework assignments. The evaluatinn
cxcrciscs are short quizzcs that will serve to give both the teacher and the student
feedhatk on hnw well tht? previously instructed material has heen learned. Evaluutiun
exercises should be assigned añer each lesson is completed,
The appendices can be found afler the fifth lesson. Appendix A provides an alphabetical
list of new vocabulary presented in this hook.The number of the lesson in which each
word or phrase is introduced is provided next to the entry, Appendix B presents a
listingof grammatical structures introduced in the book; a lesson number is provided
along with each entry for easy reference. The other appendices are included as

APPENDIX E American English Sounds

Englísh is not spelled phonetically. The same sound is spelled several different
ways. For this reason it is helpful to assign sepárate symbols to each sound. The
following is the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) system. Twenty-four (24)
consonant symbols, eleven (11) vowel symbols, and five (5) symbols representing
diphthongs are used to represent the significant sounds of American Engliah.
Thcso charts are only aids and not to be memorized. However, the students muat
be aware of the different sounds represented in these charts. They muat be able
to recognize and repeat them accurately.

VOWELS CONSONANTS
