The course objective is to enhance and strengthen the ILR (Interagency Language Roundtable) Level 3 (General Professional Proficiency) student's functional use of the language. The primary objectives of the course are improving listening and reading comprehension while bolstering grammar fundamentals and cultural awareness. Speaking and writing may be used to reinforce the proper use of lexical and grammatical forms and serve as an ongoing assessment/feedback tool for the instructor. The course curriculum contains authentic language materials focused on the Final Learning Objectives (FLO) content areas-- military and security; economy and politics; science and technology; culture and society; and geography (physical, political and economic). A student who achieves a final grade of 77% or higher in this course should be able to consistently process ILR Level 3 (ACTFL Superior) to Level 3+ (ACTFL Superior) MSA voice and text passages in an operational environment.
