STATEMENT OF WORK

Culture Self-Assessment

1. INTRODUCTION: The Defense Language and National Security Education Office (DLNSEO) requires an empirically rigorous culture assessment tool that will determine culture education and training program effectiveness across the Department of Defense, as well as identify individual cultural capabilities.

2. BACKGROUND:

DLNSEO is the office of primary responsibility for the DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5160.70, “Management of the Defense Language, Regional Expertise, and Culture (LREC) Program that supports global programs in over 100 regions and countries. In order to sustain an expanding world-wide mission, the DoD allocates resources in support of culture, region, and language programs to develop, maintain, and improve the skills and abilities of its personnel.

The DoD must have the ability to determine if the current culture and region training programs are providing the required levels of learning. That ability will enable an accurate means to guide program development efforts, provide feedback that will help determine requirements, and ensure that there is an accurate return on investment.

3. SCOPE: The contractor shall provide maintenance and support for culture self-assessment products.

4. REQUIREMENTS: The contractor shall:

4.1. Provide maintenance and support, date of award through twelve months, or final program post assessment, for the below listed products:

4.1.1.5 Immersion programs. An immersion program is a technique used for language education in which a participant is placed in a foreign speaking environment to boost language acquisition and offer exposure to other cultures. Immersion programs can be located abroad, but can also be replicated domestically through the use of classroom instruction, tutors, pledges to speak in foreign language full time, etc.

4.1.2.
