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.

On the weekends, I usually get up late. I frequently exercise, and I occasionally
take a walk in the park. I almost always go out to eat, so I seldom prepare a meal at

usually needs cleaning. I sometimes go to parties on Saturday night, but I don’t ever
go to parties on Sunday night because I have to go to bed early to be ready for work
on Monday. I guess you could say I’m pretty lazy on the weekend, and I like it that
way!

This famous passenger train travels a distance of 342 miles between

miles. The train’s highest speed is 155 mph. The trip between the two
cities takes about 65 minutes.

A Beautiful Home
Every year about five million
people visit the Grand Canyon in
the state of Arizona. The Grand
Canyon is a large, or grand, and
beautiful hole, or canyon, in the
earth. It’s about 280 miles long.
The canyon, and the area around
it, is part of a very beautiful
park, and it’s home to many
plants and animals.
A long time ago, the Colorado
River slowly cut deeply into stone
to make the canyon, and the
river runs at the bottom of the canyon today. There are many different colors of
horizontal rock that go down into the earth, sometimes as deep as 6,000 feet. In the
morning at sunrise and in the evening at sunset, the canyon’s colors are the most
beautiful. Different colors of red, brown, gold and pink are everywhere.
The Grand Canyon area is a special home for many different plants and animals.
Sadly, some types of birds and fish that live in the park are few in number. The park
workers help to keep the animals safe from danger, and the park gives them a good
place to live. A lot of the plants in the canyon grow only in that area and nowhere
else.
Every day, people come to the park to see the special plants and animals of the
Grand Canyon. They also enjoy walking through the canyon and looking at its
beautiful stone.
Topic:
a. a beautiful place
b. the Grand Canyon
c. plants and animals
d. the Colorado River
Main Idea:
a. The Colorado River cut the Grand Canyon a long time ago.
b. Many people climb the Grand Canyon each year.

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
• Audio recordings
• Language laboratory activities instructor text with audio scripts
• Language laboratory activities student text
• 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.
