Preface
The American Language Course (ALO is a comprehensiva, multilevel language program for
teaching English for vocational and professional purposes. It is designed primarily for intensiva
English íanguage 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 Forcé. 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,
