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 general nature highlighting the
typical language military personnel will encounter in their 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

Lesson 5 reviews all vocabulary and structures introduced in Lessons 1 - 4.
ii AMERICAN LANGUAGE COURSE

Notes to the Student
The Am erican Language Course focuses on four components of language acquisition:
vocabulary, gram m ar, language functions, and skills.
• The lessons present vocabulary (individual words as well as expressions) th a t the
learn er needs to u nderstand and use in order to comm unicate effectively in English.
Each new lesson builds on the vocabulary of the previous lessons. The language
included is appropriate for learners working in professional and vocational contexts.
A significant feature of the G eneral English phase of th e ALC is th a t m ilitary
vocabulary is included w herever applicable.
• The presentation of g ra m m a r is carefully sequenced. The gram m atical structures
presented in the lessons are the forms a language learn er needs in order to speak
and w rite English correctly. New gram m ar is often depicted in charts or tables th a t
serve to focus the learn er’s attention on the particu lar stru ctu re being presented.
• Language fu n ctio n s are the ways we use a language to communicate. In each lesson,
exercises th a t focus on functions show the learn er how and w hen to use certain
words, phrases, and sentences.
• In addition, skills exercises interspersed throughout the lessons focus on developing
the learn er’s language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
The Scope and Sequence chart located on the previous page shows the content th a t
m akes up the current book. The four columns on the chart outline the new m aterial as
it is related to the language acquisition components described above. A lesson begins
w ith a table of contents followed by a preview page. The preview page provides a t a
glance a sum m ary of the new m aterial presented in the lesson. Each ALC book has
four lessons introducing new m aterial and one review lesson. These are followed by a
hom ework section and daily evaluation exercises. Various appendices are also included
in the book.
The homework and the evaluation exercises are a t the back of this t e x t . S tudents will
require about two hours to complete the daily homework assignm ents. The evaluation
exercises are short quizzes th a t will serve to give both the teacher and the stu d en t
feedback on how well the previously instructed m aterial has been learned. E valuation
exercises should be assigned after each lesson is completed.
The appendices can be found after th e fifth lesson. Appendix A provides an alphabetical
list of new vocabulary presented in th is book. The num ber of the lesson in which each
word or phrase is introduced is provided next to the entry. Appendix B presents a
listing of gram m atical structures introduced in the book; a lesson num ber is provided
along w ith each entry for easy reference. The other appendices are included as
reference m aterials.

APPENDIX E American English Sounds
E nglish is not spelled phonetically. The sam e sound is spelled several different
ways. For this reason it is helpful to assign separate symbols to each sound. The
following is the International Phonetic A lphabet (IPA) system . Twenty-four (24)
consonant symbols, eleven (11) vowel symbols, and five (5) symbols representing
diphthongs are used to rep resen t th e significant sounds of Am erican English.
These charts are only aids and not to be memorized. However, th e students m ust
be aw are of the different sounds represented in these charts. They m ust be able
to recognize and repeat them accurately.

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.
