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 Inquiries and orders Please address inquiries and requests for more information about DLIELC publ DLIELC/LESL 2235 Andrews Avenue Lackland Air Foree Base, Texas 78236-5259 Evmail: dlieleleslwork@us.af.mil ©2005 by Defense Language Institute English Language Center and its licensors.

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 General English phase of the ALC is that military vocabulary is included wherever applicable. * The presentation of grammar is carefully sequenced. The grammatical structures presented in the lessons are the forms a language learner needs in order to speak and write standard English. New grammar is often depicted in charts or tables that serve to focus the learner's attention on the particular structure being presented. ‘© Language functions are the ways we use a language to communicate. In each lesson, exercises that focus on functions show the learner how and when to use certain words, phrases, and sentences. + In addition, language and academic skills exercises are interspersed throughout the lessons. These focus on developing the learner's language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. ‘The Scope and Sequence chart located on the previous page shows the content of the current book. ‘The four columns outline the new material as it relates to the language acquisition components described above. Each lesson begins with a table of contents followed by a preview page. The preview page provides a summary of the new material presented in the lesson. Bach ALC book has four lessons introducing new material and one review lesson. These are followed by a homework section and daily evaluation exercises. Various appendices are also included. ‘The homework and the evaluation exercises are at the back of this text. It generally takes about two hours to complete the daily homework assignments. The evaluation exercises are short quizzes that give both the teacher and the student feedback on how well students have learned the material. ‘The appendices follow the fifth lesson. Appendix A provides an alphabetical list of new vocabulary presented in this book. The number of the lesson in which each word or phrase is introduced is provided next to the entry. Appendix B presents a list of grammatical structures introduced in the book; a lesson number is provided along with each entry for easy reference. The other appendices are included as reference materials.

BOOK 11 LESSON 1MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS ‘There are four different kinds of medical appointments that people usually need to make. A receptionist at a doctor's office will answer the phone and talk to the patient to find the best time for the appointment. REGULAR APPOINTMENTS: When patients call to see the doctor because they are sick, they usually need an appointment that is about 20 minutes long. The doctor will ask them questions about how they feel or which parts of their body hurt. He'll ask about their problems and symptoms; for example, he may ask about fever, or temperature, headache, and stomachache. (CHECKUPS ‘After the first appointment, patients sometimes need to make a second appointment for a checkup. In this Read the text. Answer your instructor’s questions. Does the doctor do any tests for an annual physical? a appointment, the doctor just checks that the patient is well again after the first problems end. ANNUAL PHYSICALS A patient may also call to make an appointment for an annual physical. Patients have an examination like this one time a year. The exam takes more time than a regular appointment. The receptionist schedules two hours for the physical because the doctor has to check all parts of the body and do many tests. EMERGENCIES Patients sometimes need to see a doctor immediately because they are very sick, or they were in an accident. Often, emergency patients go immediately out of the doctor's office to the hospital. For very bad emergencies, the patient should cali 911, and not the doctor's office. << he does many on) y~ ‘AMERICAN LANGUAGE COURSEBEGET Listen and circle the number of the stressed syllable.
