Language and Culture Training
College level courses: DCLCP leverages the academic capabilities of the University of Montana to provide students with the optimal language training and academic experience. All DCLCP courses of 120 hours or more of language and culture training are accredited college courses from the University of Montana and provide students with credits validated through the Northwest Accreditation Commission
(NWAC).
University Professors: Each DCLCP language team is comprised of professors with advanced degrees in linguistics. Every instructor is a native speaker of the target language being taught.
Flexibility: DCLCP courses are designed and tailored to meet the operational and timeline needs of the customer— NOT a traditional academic calendar.
Language training is provided for any level of language proficiency as requested by our customer and defined through the establishment of objective outcomes using the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) guidelines and/or the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) guidelines as measured against the DoD administered Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) and/or the Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT).

DoD has compiled approximate learning expectations for languages based on the length of time it typically takes to achieve different levels of proficiency in speaking and reading for English- speaking learners. DCLCP routinely achieves and exceeds the ILR goals faster than the this standard. Based on languages taught at DLI, the following chart depicts the scaling of languages offered by the DCLCP in reference to their level of difficulty for English speakers.

DCLCP students learn the language and culture in small classes of usually no more than six students; the schedule is typically 30 hours of class per week with 2 hours per day of self-study and/or individual tutoring. Each course is taught through a team-teaching pedagogy which maximizes student exposure to a variety of voices, accents, inflections, intonations and pitch. The following is an example of a “typical” daily class schedule for a DCLCP course:
DCLCP offers language and culture training to students over distance via video-teleconferencing platforms, Zoom.gov, in a traditional classroom environment at the University of Montana located in Missoula, and/or via isolated-immersion classes at Lubrecht Forest in Greenough, Montana. In any of these venues, the travel arrangements, travel costs, lodging, and meals are provided by the customer.
Consistent with the frequent requests of our customers, DCLCP provides language and culture training to students through a synchronous online video teleconferencing (VTC) venue. Using this educational medium, our instructors and their lessons are delivered to wherever the students are located. The customer is required to provide an appropriate classroom and VTC system connectivity on their end or arrangements can be made with the DCLCP to purchase or rent VTC systems.
In addition, the DCLCP provides language and culture training to students by deploying our Mobile Training Team (MTT) to a location requested by our customers. In this venue, the customer provides the appropriate classroom space for the conduct of the course and travel (airline and ground transportation), lodging and meals for the instructors. Travel will be in accordance with clause C-FSS-370, Contractor Tasks/Special Requirements.
At the beginning and at the end of the course each student takes the OPI and/or DLPT. The OPI measures how well the student speaks the language by comparing the student’s performance of specific language tasks with the criteria for each proficiency level as described through the ACTFL proficiency guidelines or the ILR guidelines. The OPI takes the form of a carefully structured conversation between a trained and certified interviewer and the student whose speaking proficiency is being assessed. A ratable speech sample is elicited from the interviewee by a series of questions or tasks, which follow the established protocol. The speech sample is recorded and later independently rated by two certified testers.

If and / or when the contractor adds SCLS labor categories / employees to the contract through the modification process, the contractor must inform the Contracting Officer and establish a SCLS matrix identifying the GSA labor category titles, the occupational code, SCLS labor category titles and the applicable WD number. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the contract.
