PREFACE
The American Language Course (ALC) is designed primarily for an

intensive language training program. However, these materials can
also be used in nonintensive programs. The course will provide
students with a sufficient level of fluency and communicative
proficiency in American English to enable them to successfully pursue
technical or professional training in schools conducted by the
Department of Defense.
The General English Phase of the ALC consists of six progressive

levels of language proficiency training. Levels I through V consist
of six separate instructional packages each. Level VI contains
four.
Level I Books 1 - 6
Level II Books 7 12
Level III Books 13 18
Level IV Books 19 24
Level V Books 25 - 30
Level VI Books 31 - 34
The coordinated instructional packages for Books 1-30 consist of the

following:
1. Instructor Text
2. Student Text
3. Audiotapes
4. Language Laboratory Activities Instructor Text
5. Language Laboratory Activities Student Text
6. Quiz Kits

NOTES TO THE STUDENT
The Student Text for Book 9, Level II, has four lessons and one
review lesson, daily evaluations and homework assignments, and
various appendixes.
The homework and evaluation exercises are at the back of this
text. The evaluation exercises are short quizzes and will be
given after each lesson is completed. The daily homework
assignments will require about two hours to complete.
The appendixes are after the fifth lesson. Appendix A is an
alphabetical list of the new vocabulary presented in this book.
Next to the word is the number of the lesson where the word is
introduced. Appendix B is a list of the grammar structures
presented in this book. Next to the structure is the number of
the lesson where the structure is presented. The rest of the
appendixes are reference materials.
The American Language Course
focuses on four areas:
Function
The functions are the ways we use a language to
communicate. There are exercises in the lessons that
show you how and when to use certain words, phrases,
and sentences in a particular situation.
The grammar structures in the lesson are the forms you

need to speak and write correctly.
There are exercises in the lessons to help you improve

your skill or ability in listening, speaking, reading or
writing.
The words and expressions presented in the lesson are

those you will need to do the functions and the grammar
exercises.
The first page of each lesson is the focus page. It provides a
summary of the material that will be presented in the lesson.

the bank to open an account for the family. She will open a
savings account and a checking account. The family will use the

spend the money in their bank account. It will be safe there.
