-DESCRIPTION: American Language Course — master lessons combining the Student Text and Language Laboratory Activities, reorganized for self-study.
+DESCRIPTION: The American Language Course (ALC) was developed by the Defense Language Institute English Language Center (DLIELC, Lackland AFB, Texas) and has taught English to military and government personnel from partner nations for decades.
