4.2 SCOPE OF WORK SURVIVAL GEORGIAN

As a subset of the client’s traditional language training programs, the contractor shall develop and teach a modular language program of "Survival Georgian' with four separate themes in close coordination with the post language officer. The ‘Survival Georgian’ class(es) will be integrated with ‘immersion exercises’ whereby the instructor and class practice their knowledge in a real-life setting outside of the classroom, e.g. on an excursion.

The themes include Basic Greetings/Personal Information, Transport/Travel, Shopping/Marketing, Restaurant/Social Events. The Contractor is strongly encouraged to make use of the intranet resources available for language instructors at the Department of State- Foreign Service Institute’s-Post Language Program web site at http://fsi.state.gov/fsi/sls/plp/default.asp, click on “Resources for Post Language Officers.”

FSI has already developed distance language materials and encourages posts to supplement these materials with local mentors. In these cases, students would work approximately 5 hours per week individually using the multimedia course materials, then meet once or twice weekly as group with an instructor to review what they have learned.

Phase I:

Develop lesson plans for each module theme consisting of grammar, phrases, dialogues, vocabulary and exercises in the form of hand-outs for students and separate instructor's notes on concept and methodology (i.e. 'learning-by-doing, role-plays, games, active learning). As http://fsi.state.gov/fsi/sls/plp/default.asp planned, approx. 40 hrs.

Phase II:

Moderate and teach at least one complete 'Survival Georgian' modular language program as per schedule TBD. Actual scheduling of language classes and immersion exercises will depend on number of students registered and work schedule of students. As planned, one full modular language program will consist of 32 hrs. of instruction (4 modules x 8 hrs. each).

Depending on student interest, moderate and teach more than one 'Survival Georgian' language program concurrently and/or repeat several full cycles of 'Survival Georgian'.

Phase III:

Plan immersion exercises and accompany and guide students during half-day/full-day immersion exercises geared toward module's theme. Actual scheduling of immersions will depend on number of students registered and work schedule of students. As planned, one full modular language program will consist of up to 32 hrs. of immersion exercises (4 immersion exercises x 8 hrs. each).

Depending on necessity, contractor is strongly encouraged to call upon the assistance of an additional escort for the language immersion exercises (e.g. Embassy WAE Interpreters) to guide and assist students.

Concurrent with Phase II-III:

After completion of each 'Survival Georgian' module/immersion and at the end of a full modular language program, use student feedback and own observation to critically evaluate lesson plans, student materials and methodology in close coordination with post language officer and adapt accordingly. As planned, approx. 20 hrs.

Phase IV:

Pending technical feasibility, adapt lesson plans to CD format and include multi-media presentation on Georgia to post newcomers (in coordination with CLO). As planned, approx. 20 hrs.

Language Materials:

The contractor shall establish a lending library system (books, multimedia presentations, CDs, handouts, etc) so that materials are kept for several generations of language students.

Field Trips and immersions:

The contractor shall implement field trips and immersions using preparatory and follow-up language activities and task-based approach (instructor assigns specific tasks to students to be carried out using a local language) while conducting the field trips. Lodging, meals, travel expenses will be reimbursed to instructor only; not participants.

Price for language materials and field trips will be reimbursed to contractor within the available funding based on paid receipt submitted the COR.

4.2.1. Eligibility-

4.2.2. Conduct of training

One-on-one instructions are permissible only if the student has a job-related need for training and cannot be grouped with others due to differences in language level or conflicting work schedules and individualized /customized non classroom coaching, such as language partners and just-in-time consulting to refine job-specific language skills.

4.2.3. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

Classes shall be given Monday through Friday from 9:00 am till 6:00 pm at the Embassy premises. Period of performance is one year from the date of contract award with four option years to renew.
