Developed by I Corps Foreign Language Training Center Fort Lewis, WA For the Special Operations Forces Language Office United States Special Operations Command LANGUAGE TRAINING The ability to speak a foreign language is a core unconventional warfare skill and is being incorporated throughout all phases of the qualification course. The students will receive their language assignment after the selection phase where they will receive a language starter kit that allows them to begin language training while waiting to return to Fort Bragg for Phase II. The 3rd Bn, 1st SWTG (A) is responsible for all language training at the USAJFKSWCS. The Special Operations Language Training (SOLT) is primarily a performance-oriented language course. Students are trained in one of ten core languages with enduring regional application and must show proficiency in speaking, listening and reading. A student receives language training throughout the Pipeline. In Phase IV, students attend an 8 or 14 week language blitz depending upon the language they are slotted in. The general purpose of the course is to provide each student with the ability to communicate in a foreign language. For successful completion of the course, the student must achieve at least a 1/1/1 or higher on the Defense Language Proficiency Test in two of the three graded areas; speaking, listening and reading.

Book excerpt: Le Big Bang prouve-t-il l'existence de Dieu ? Dans quoi l'Univers se développe-t-il ? La Terre est-elle la seule planète abritant la vie ? Pourquoi le plus grand astronome de l'histoire a-t-il tué son élan de compagnie ? Saviez-vous qu'il neige du métal sur Vénus, qu'il y a des lacs souterrains sur Mars et des rivières de pétrole sur Titan ? L'espace est l’objet le plus grand, le plus ancien, le plus chaud, le plus froid et le plus étrange qu'un humain puisse étudier. Dans Magique Cosmos, Tim James nous emmène faire un tour de l'univers connu (et inconnu), tout en déballant les dernières théories sur ce qui s’y passe réellement. Il nous fait découvrir la science de l'espace dans ce qu'elle a de plus étrange. En nous guidant à travers la relativité d'Einstein, la mécanique quantique et la théorie des cordes, Magique Cosmos explore les recoins les plus déroutants de l’univers et s'attaque aux plus grands mystères auxquels nous sommes confrontés : de la vie extraterrestre au zodiaque ; des trous blancs aux trous de ver ; des quasars aux quarks. Tim James nous emmène aussi au-delà de notre système solaire, vers des exoplanètes qui pourraient abriter la vie et des planètes voyous. Il nous raconte la recherche d'intelligence extraterrestre, notamment la découverte de fossiles martiens dans la météorite Alan Hills, et le tentant "signal Wow" reçu par la Terre en 1973 - encore inexpliqué.

Download or read book Learn French News Vol 5 written by Nik Marcel and published by 2Language Books. This book was released on 2014-08-18 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LEARN FRENCH NEWS Vol.5: English & French THIS EDITION: The dual-language text has been arranged into sentences and shorter paragraphs for quick and easy cross-referencing. The source text is the French language edition of Voice of America (VOA). The French text has been translated into English for this dual-language project. The reader can choose between four formats: Section 1: English to French Section 2: French to English Section 3: English Section 4: French A methodology for getting the most out of this bilingual format is explained in the book’s Foreword. The primary purpose of this text is to equip a foreign language learner with the ability to start reading news in the particular foreign language: to be able to read only in the foreign language, and extract enough understanding to continue the language learning process fruitfully this way. A reader might like to go back to reading dual-language news for reinforcement and further development, returning to foreign language only news with a deeper understanding. By going back to the same ‘old’ news, you are going over words, word patterns, and passages with which you already have a certain familiarity. The process of reinforcement, learning or retaining of what is new, and exposure to what is unfamiliar, is much easier this way — even though the news may seem a little dated. The aim of informing the reader about actual news is secondary, especially given that the content will become less current (and less relevant) over time. If you are having trouble with the level of difficulty in the text, a suggested path for learning languages is as follows: Familiarise yourself with a basic language instruction book — or re-read the one you have. Once a student has studied the basics, a suitable book about basic grammar can be helpful. The suggestion is that any grammar book be studied more with the intent of recognition and understanding, rather than memorising and obsessive rote learning. Go through as much of the grammar book you feel you can digest — maybe even the whole book — skipping over what is not easily understood. After this, read through a portion of text in a book called ‘French Sentences’, by 2LanguageBooks, looking for examples of what you have picked up (or gleaned) in your hopefully not so arduous study of grammar. Even repeatedly seeing a word that you remember seeing listed as a ‘subject pronoun’ or a ‘third person plural’ verb of some sort is a great help. Then, depending on your inclination, return to the grammar book (or your basic French book), or move on to lengthier bilingual text — like in 2Language Books texts containing news or stories, for example —, or find some suitable French text: a simple novel, a French news website, etc. Grammar books will likely have some verb charts. However, there are currently good on-line resources that go further — dictionaries with a verb conjugation ‘search’ option. Many basic language books offer some form of audio support. Internet services — primarily news based radio stations — offer podcasts. Audio from television is an additional resource, and can be formatted for use on various digital platforms. However, if audio is an important component of your interest in languages, electronic devices that support quality text-to-speech (TTS) will likely be appealing. With a library card, TTS technology (in a device that supports the relevant content), and the above mentioned resources, an entire language learning system is available for not much more than a cup of coffee! There is no substantial financial outlay to get you started. Furthermore, there are no additional ongoing fees (and updates), and there are no expiry dates on ‘premium’ content and resources.

Download or read book Les deux europes written by Michele Affinito and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'histoire de l'Europe au XXe siècle est marquée par de nombreux dualismes dont les traces continuent à caractériser l'Union européenne. Pour mieux comprendre les problèmes actuels de l'intégration européenne, ces dualismes sont étudiés dans une perspective historique et déclinés en quatre axes de réflexion : Europe de l'Est versus Europe de l'Ouest, Europe comme rêve versus Europe comme réalité, Europe(s) politique(s) versus Europe(s) économique(s) et Europe puissance versus Europe comme instrument de puissance. Le présent ouvrage recueille les actes du IIIe colloque international de l'association RICHIE (Réseau international de jeunes chercheurs en histoire de l'intégration européenne) qui s'est tenu à Naples (Italie) en décembre 2007 et qui a réuni une vingtaine de jeunes chercheurs de toute l'Europe pour présenter l'état de leurs travaux en cours à travers cette perspective. The history of Europe in the 20th century is marked by several dualisms, traces of which continue to characterize the European Union. For a better understanding of the current problems of European integration, these dualisms should be studied in their historical context. This book is organized around four axes: Eastern Europe versus Western Europe, Europe as a dream versus Europe as a reality, Political Europe(s) versus Economic Europe(s), Europe as a power versus Europe as an instrument of power. The present work gathers the proceedings of the 3rdinternational conference of the RICHIE association (International Network of Young Researchers in European Integration History). The conference took place in Naples (Italy) in December 2007, and brought together young scholars from all over Europe to present their current research on this topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quels sont les buts atteints par les révolutions arabes un an après le soulèvement populaire ? En cours de soulèvement j'ai proposé une lecture qui mettait les révolutions entre un moment mystique de l'histoire ou une mystification des hommes. J'y reviens en les confrontant aux dix commandements américains qui n'acceptent que les vassaux soumis à leur hégémonie. Les élites confrontées à la réalité géopolitique qu'elles ont occultées faute de cadre d'orientation idéologique font le dur apprentissage du serpent qui se mord la queue au lieu de poursuivre la révolution vers un exercice souverain du peuple sur la politique et l'économique. Pour celà il fallait se libérer non seulement de l'oppression des dictateurs mais de l'ego partisan rancunier ou assoiffé de pouvoir

Download or read book L Europe et l Asie written by Michel Dumoulin and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensembles historiques et culturels fondamentalement différents, l'Asie et l'Europe se sont perçues - et se perçoivent encore? - à travers des prismes déformants. Depuis la fin des années 1950, certaines économies asiatiques ont connu un remarquable développement impliquant la recherche de marchés extérieurs parmi lesquels l'Europe occupe une place de choix. Mais la nature même du développement économique en Asie pose la question de savoir si, demain, l'Union européenne s'érigera en forteresse tentant de résister aux avancées asiatiques ou si, au contraire, elle cherchera à établir un véritable partenariat, notamment avec l'Inde et la Chine. Au delà des questions de nature économique, celles relevant de l'analyse politique ne doivent-elles pas être posées? Les rapports entre l'Union et les membres de l'ASEAN inclineraient à répondre positivement. Ils invitent à la prospective, à l'exemple de l'évolution des relations euro-japonaises depuis le début des années 1990. Celle-ci paraît en effet démontrer qu'une meilleure connaissance des caractères structurels et culturels du lien Europe-Asie inscrits dans la durée, constitue, notamment, un facteur déterminant du développement des relations économiques.
