Explanation of Explanation of Terms

This catalog features audio and video self-instructional language

training programs produced by the National Foreign Affairs Training

Center of the U.S. Department of State, the Defense Language Institute

of the U.S. Department of Defense, the Center for the Advancement of

Language Learning, and the Central Intelligence Agency. Courses are

available from the NTIS’ National Audiovisual Center with or without

texts. The audiocassette programs are recorded in 2-Track, mono,

meaning that material is recorded on both sides of the cassette. Some

language courses have words in their titles such as basic, programmatic, and introductory. The following glossary should assist you in

selecting the course that will meet your needs:

Active Introduction: A mini-course, covering the first

100-300 hours of training that includes oral exercises.

All lessons include short verbal exchanges.

Basic: The courses that present all essential grammar of a spoken

language. These courses typically include samples of speech, explanations of basic language structure, and a variety of practical exercises.

FAST (Familiarization and Short-Term Training):

The course is designed to familiarize you with the country, the everyday

situations visitors encounter and provides the needed language skills to

handle each situation.

Headstart: The course teaches you how to handle everyday situations.

The emphasis is on speaking and understanding the language.

Introduction to Pronunciation: Consists only of an introduction to

the pronunciation of a language.

Introductory: A mini-course, covering the first 100-300 hours of

training. It presents a selection of the most

frequently occurring grammatical patterns in a language.

Modular: The course is organized into modules that focus on

particular situations or language topics. This allows a certain amount of

choice as to what is taught and in what order.

Phonology: A programmed introduction to the most frequently

occurring grammatical patterns in the language. The emphasis here is

on pronunciation.

Programmed: Presents all the essential grammar of the language and

provides aids to self-evaluation. The student sets the pace of the

learning process. New material is presented in “frames,” one idea at a

time.

Programmatic: Similar to a programmed course, but somewhat less

material featured in the programmed format.

U.S. Government Proficiency Scale: Assesses linguistic skills in

listening, speaking, and reading based on a proficiency scale ranging

from Level 0 (essentially no ability in a language) to Level 5 (an

educated native speaker of the language). Each level has a plus (+)

through 4+, indicating proficiency that substantially exceeds one skill

level but does not fully meet the next level.

Arabic

Arabic is spoken by 1/5 of the world’s population and is one of the

official languages of the United Nations. It is also becoming increasingly important for trade and industry.

Al-Mumtaaz

Produced by the Federal Language Training Laboratory

This is an award-winning, ten-unit, interactive CD-ROM with almost two

hours of high-quality video filmed on location with professional actors

in an Arabic-speaking country. Native speakers on CD-quality audio

introduce Arabic sounds, basic vocabulary, useful expressions,

introductory grammar, script, culture, and history. The program

centers around a group of tourists who travel to a fictitious Arab

country where they learn basic language skills in 300 engaging and

interactive learning exercises including greetings, asking and following

directions, reading signs, making telephone calls, ordering food, and

carrying out other everyday tasks, all presented within authentic,

practical cultural contexts. While it focuses on Modern Standard

Arabic, Al-Mumtaaz also introduces Levantine, Egyptian, and Arabian

dialects. Students can record and compare their pronunciation with

that of a native speaker, take part in simulated conversations with AlMumtaaz characters, and generate and print vocabulary for study.

Designed for self-study or classroom use, this program is also useful as

a refresher or the front end of a more advanced course. It uses the

latest technology to make the user proficient in this important

language.

This set of six CD-ROM’s was awarded the CINE Golden Eagle, 38th

CINDY international (silver) and regional (gold) medals, and National

Association of Government Communicators Gold Screen Competition

2d place.

Levantine Arabic Introduction to

Pronunciation

Produced by the National Foreign Affairs Training Center

The Levantine Arabic course consists only of an introduction to the

pronunciation of the language. It refers to the dialect of educated

Palestinians around Beirut, Lebanon, but is intelligible in most urban

areas of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel. Since most of the sounds of

Levantine Arabic also occur in other Arabic dialects, the course can

also be used in the study of those dialects.

Modern Written Ar itten Arabic

Produced by the National Foreign Affairs Training Center

Though there is considerable diversity of dialects in spoken Arabic, the

written language is fairly standard with the differences falling into

historical periods rather than geographical areas. The emphasis in the

Modern Written Arabic course is on reading modern printed Arabic.

However, before attempting this, it is necessary to learn the Arabic

writing system and have reasonably accurate pronunciation. The course

provides spoken exercises in Arabic and the printed transcriptions that

are essential to achieving mastery of the material.

Urban Hijazi Dialect Urban Hijazi Dialect

Produced by the National Foreign Affairs Training Center

Of the three major dialects in Saudi Arabic – Hijazi, Najidi, and Sharqi

– Hijazi is used throughout the country for government and commercial purposes, and has become the most widely understood dialect in

the Arabian Peninsula. Even so, there is no “standard” Hijazi dialect,

but the basis for the Saudi Arabic Basic Course is “urban” Hijazi, to

distinguish it from the Bedouin dialects also native to the region. The

aim of the course is “working” proficiency in the language. The course

enables you to speak and understand Saudi Arabic speech at a normal

rate in a variety of social and business contexts.

Armenian

Task-Based Approach to Ar ask-Based Approach to Armenian

Produced by Center for the Advancement of Language Learning/Monterey

Institute of International Studies

This program of language instruction will take students on a journey

that will take them into areas of Armenian culture, history, art, day-today life and the forces that drive the very existence of the Armenian

people. Language can not be studied in a vacuum. It is the understanding of how and why language is used in relation to the culture that

makes acquisition possible. This course is designed to help students

develop functional skills in the Armenian language, not just a ‘textbook

knowledge’ of words, grammar features, and memorized dialogues. In

order to help the students reach a goal of effective performance, this

course incorporates language learning techniques that are directed

towards building a confidence in using the language in a natural

setting. Some examples of these techniques include the use of realworld tasks, communicative activities, authentic materials, and spiraling

of content and structures.

Cambodian

Cambodian Basic Course

Produced by the National Foreign Affairs Training Center

This course examines two different Cambodian dialects: Standard

Cambodian and the Phnom Penh dialect. Standard Cambodian is the

approved speech for public education and mass communications. Of

all the Cambodian dialects, it corresponds most closely to the writing

system. The Phnom Penh dialect is spoken in the country’s capital city.

It differs sharply from the Standard Cambodian in pronunciation but is

similar in other aspects. Being familiar with both styles of speech will

enable students to speak and understand the language better.

This course contains 90 units, arranged in groups of five under a

common theme. The first four units of each group are based on

dialogues and the fifth unit is based on a narration. The text for units

1-20 is entirely in standard Cambodian. Starting with unit 21, the

dialogues are in the Phnom Penh dialect, and the narration is in

Standard Cambodian. Each of the 90 units includes: dialogues, drills

and vocabulary sections.

Chinyanja

Chinyanja Basic Course

Produced by the National Foreign Affairs Training Center

The Chinyanja Basic Course presents all the essential grammar of the

spoken language of Malawi. It is divided into two main parts. The first

consists of Units 1-40 and the second of Units 41-63. The first part

emphasizes those words and sentences that students are most likely to

need during their first few weeks in Malawi. The principal points of

grammar are introduced, but they are not treated systematically, and

there are few drills. In the second part the materials from Units 1-40

are reintroduced. This time, however, the units are longer, and more

attention is given to mastery of the grammatical devices of the language.

Each lesson includes dialogues and notes.

Czech FAST

Produced by the National Foreign Affairs Training Center

The Czech FAST course is designed to help students acquire the

communications skills necessary to deal with the most common social

and everyday situations encountered.

Designed as an 8-week introductory course, the FAST course does not

attempt to present a systematic and comprehensive introduction to

Czech grammar. Grammar is instead presented in a very elementary

form to help gain some understanding of “what is happening.”

The course is divided into 12 lessons, plus an introductory lesson. The

lessons cover the following topics: introductions, asking directions,

public transportation, using the telephone, at a restaurant, shopping, at

a hotel, culture, car trouble, at work, car accident, and dealing with

servants.

The learning activities for most units are: cultural notes, dialogues,

exercises, vocabulary, and language notes.

Crossroads Café

The series is the result of collaboration between INTELECOM; the states of

California, Florida, Illinois and New York; the U.S. Department of Education; the

U.S. Immigration & Naturalization Service; and the U.S. Information Agency.

Crossroads Cafe is an educational video and print series designed for

multi-level ESL/ESOL instruction. The series revolves around a cafe in a

large U.S. city where the lives of six characters come together. Each

episode in the series features a language and U.S. culture learning aid.

It is the first language course to be presented in this television series

format. Two video sidebars are included in each episode: Culture

Clips and Word Play which emphasize U.S. culture and language

patterns. Culture Clips are available separately. Teachers will also find

many ways to use the verbatim transcripts of each video episode, from

role playing scenes to creating dialogue exercises.

The course received the Gold Cindy Award, Association of Visual

Communicators; Best Distance Learning Program, USDLA; and the

Erasmus Bridge Award, The Rotterdam Market. A follow on course, On

Common Ground, is an anthology of fifteen powerful real-life dramas

and closely correlated, multi-level text materials that focus on

fundamental concepts in U.S. civics and government.

C’est Tres Facile: Survival French (CD-ROM)

Produced by Foreign Language Training Laboratory

C’est Tres Facile, a ten-unit multimedia course videotaped in France is

designed to bring students to a survival level of proficiency in the

language. Features of the program include student tracking and the

ability to print personalized lists of words and phrases. Students can

record and play back recordings to compare their pronunciation with

that of a native speaker. Students practice listening, reading, and

speaking. C’est Tres Facile is suitable for a very broad audience of

students who need to learn, review or maintain basic French. Based on

a story line that begins at a farewell party in Washington, DC, several of

C’est Tres Facile’s characters begin a friendship that continues

throughout a subsequent visit to Paris. C’est Tres Facile’s learning

activities allow students to interact with a journalist, a restaurant owner,

a diplomat, and some of their French relatives. As students increase

their mastery they become more involved in the lives of the characters

and use their newly acquired French skills to help them get settled in

an apartment, find their way around Paris, and even deal with a family’s

surprise inheritance from a relative. Students learn to order meals, ask

and follow directions, register at hotels, scan newspapers and request

and give personal information. Although designed for self-study, this

course can be used for maintenance or as a refresher.

Twi

Twi Basic Course

Produced by the National Foreign Affairs Training Center

Approximately 6 million West Africans, principally those living in

southern Ghana, speak Twi. Since it is a tone language and each

syllable in a word has its own tone or pitch, the audiocassettes are an

indispensable aid in learning the language. The Twi Basic Course

indicates tone by using diacritical marks. Unit one of this course

consists of 48 drills of pairs of words that are distinguished by tone or

consonant and vowel differences that often cause difficulty for speakers

of English. Other units include basic dialogues, notes, and drills such

as lexical, substitution, question and answer drills, and pattern.

Yoruba

Yoruba Basic Course

Produced by the National Foreign Affairs Training Center

The major language of Western Africa, Yoruba is spoken principally in

Nigeria. The Yoruba Basic Course is divided into a number of parts.

First there are three series of tone drills that concentrate respectively on

the tone patterns of short vowels in short utterances, the tone patterns

of long or double vowels in short utterances, and the tone patterns of

longer utterances. Following the tone drills is a series of 49 lesson

units. Of these the first 20 introduce and drill those aspects of the

grammar that involve changes in tone and vowel length. Notes and

exercises accompany each unit. A series of sentences in the style of a

phrase book follows the lesson units. Many of the units include

dialogues, notes, exercises, and supplemental material.
