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.
