Project Highlights

AFPAK Hands: DLS is a key language training provider for the Defense Language Institute program which prepares language-proficient service members for longer terms of duty in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Students overwhelmingly meet and exceed initial proficiency goals for the 16-week program.

Mobile Training Teams: DLS is a major provider of Mobile Training Team (MTT) support to the Defense Language Institute - Washington. We have provided multi-instructor teams in tactical languages to 60 CONUS and OCONUS locations.

Curriculum Development: DLS' active Curriculum Development department applies language acquisition expertise and technical mastery to our development projects. In January 2011, DLS began developing a textbook curriculum for seven critical languages for a U.S. Government client.

DLS is currently engaged in AFPAK Phase IV textbook development for Dari, Pashto, and Urdu, a later phase of the AFPAK Hands initial acquisition training conducted at DLS. The listening/speaking focused textbook aims at bringing students to level 2 proficiency.
