Download or read book Realities of Foreign Service Life written by Patricia Linderman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mention a diplomatic career and most people imagine high-level meetings, formal dress and cocktail parties. Few stop to think that behind the occasional glitter of official functions are thousands of families facing all the routines and crises of life-births, deaths, childrearing, divorce-far from home, relatives, and friends, in an unfamiliar and sometimes unfriendly country and culture. This book provides reflections and perspectives on the realities of Foreign Service life as experienced by members of the Foreign Service community around the world. The writers share their unvarnished views on a wide variety of topics they care about: maintaining long-distance relationships, raising teens abroad, dealing with depression, coping with evacuations, readjusting to life in the United States, and many others. These are stories from the diplomatic trenches-true experiences from those who have lived the lifestyle and want to share their hard-learned lessons with others. If you are new to the Foreign Service, this book will offer insights and practical information useful in your overseas tours and when you return home. Even if you are a seasoned veteran of the Foreign Service, the reports and reflections of others may encourage you to compare and evaluate your own experiences. If you (or your partner) are contemplating joining the Foreign Service, this book can serve as a reality check, giving you honest, personal perspectives on both the positive and negative aspects of Foreign Service life. If you are a student wondering what the Foreign Service is all about, this book will broaden your knowledge and provide you with an insider's view not found in any textbook.

This book was released on 1924 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteen States and the District of Columbia were represented at the second conference of collegiate instructors in foreign service training subjects, which was held at the New Willard Hotel, Washington, D.C., December 26, 1923, under the direction of the former advisory council and committee of fifteen on educational preparation for foreign service, now known as the National Council on Foreign Service Training. The topic of the conference was practices and objectives in training for foreign service of Government and business. This conference was the outgrowth of a small round-table conference held under similar direction at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago, Illinois, December 27, 1922. Preliminary to the latter conference the chairman of the National Council on Foreign Service Training, G. L. Swiggett, requested two groups of men engaged in the service of Government and business for an opinion based on experience in regard to necessary educational preparation for their respective types of work. Each group expressed the belief that overspecialization was not desirable; that technique should come late in the course of study; that the maximum of English should be offered; and that chemistry should be taken as a basic science. With these suggestions in mind it was decided at the 1922 Chicago conference that the following subjects, with unit requirements, will best serve as secondary preparation for further collegiate study in foreign service subjects: English, 4; modern language, 4--at least three units in one language; American history, 1; English history or modern European history, 1; economic geography, 1; mathematics--algebra and plane geometry, 1.5; chemistry or physics, 1; civics, 0.5; elective, 1; 15 units in all.

This book was released on 2020-09-19 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is formally represented around the world by approximately 14,000 Foreign Service officers and other personnel in the U.S. Department of State. Roughly one-third of them are required to be proficient in the local languages of the countries to which they are posted. To achieve this language proficiency for its staff, the State Department's Foreign Service Institute (FSI) provides intensive language instruction and assesses the proficiency of personnel before they are posted to a foreign country. The requirement for language proficiency is established in law and is incorporated in personnel decisions related to job placement, promotion, retention, and pay. A Principled Approach to Language Assessment: Considerations for the U.S. Foreign Service Institute evaluates the different approaches that exist to assess foreign language proficiency that FSI could potentially use. This report considers the key assessment approaches in the research literature that are appropriate for language testing, including, but not limited to, assessments that use task-based or performance-based approaches, adaptive online test administration, and portfolios.
