**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 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. Each level contains 6 separate instructional packages.
| Level | Books |

| 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 - 36 |
The coordinated instructional packages consist of the following:
1. Instructor Text
2. Student Text
3. Audiotapes
4. Instructor Language Laboratory Activities Booklet
5. Student Language Laboratory Activities Booklet
6. Quiz Kits
7. Optional training aids

**NOTES TO THE STUDENT**
The Student Text for Book 7, 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:
1. **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.
2. **Grammar**
The grammar structures in the lesson are the forms you need to speak and write correctly.
3. **Skills**
There are exercises in the lessons to help you improve your skill or ability in listening, speaking, reading or writing.
4. **Vocabulary**
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.
