PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

LANGUAGE AND CULTURE SERVICES

UNITED STATES ARMY FORCES COMMAND (FORSCOM)

PART 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General. This is a non-personal services contract to provide Language and Culture Services to include instruction, curriculum development, and translation/interpretation, for individual and group training both on site and virtually, and military learning/training environments. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor, who in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Language and Culture Services for the United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and other authorized Government agencies and organizations, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards set forth in this contract.

1.1.1. The FORSCOM language and culture program (hereafter “program”) emphasizes creativity and flexibility to meet the unique instruction needs of commanders requiring language and/or culture related capabilities for their personnel. The program’s courses/training events do not have rigid Programs of Instruction (POIs) but rather use the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) proficiency level descriptions, as well as current theories and teaching methodologies in the fields of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and Adult & Continuing Education, as a framework for the development of POIs, lesson plans, activities, etc. These skill descriptor definitions can be found at http://www.govtilr.org, and it is the responsibility of the Contractor to familiarize all contract service providers with each of the skill level descriptors found on the ILR website, as well as with current theories and teaching approaches and methodologies in the fields of SLA and Adult & Continuing Education. The program’s teaching methodology is eclectic in nature but broadly falls under the umbrella of Communicative Language Teaching, given its primary focus on language and culture within the context of communication and its secondary focus on the structure(s) that inform that communication. At each ILR proficiency level, very specific behaviors are exhibited and expected. Contract service providers will assesses the ILR level of each student in the skills to be taught and then develop and/or present appropriate lessons, materials and activities to generate as much uninhibited, spontaneous, and culturally appropriate manipulation of the target language, culture knowledge, and cross-cultural competence amongst the students as possible, in order to prepare the students for duty related work/engagements and/or the Defense Language Proficiency Test System (DLPTS) or other formal and/or informal proficiency measures, as required by the Government. The Contractor shall support the program in its efforts to bridge the gap between global language and technical/mission language by integrating training and education for Government-defined, operationally relevant elements into lesson plans and POIs. These may include culture-specific information related to a particular target area, culture-general concepts, cross-cultural competence, rapport building, map reading, briefing skills, weather reports, scenarios related to specific engagements/contingencies, military terminology, and similar topic areas. Contract service providers are expected to help create a learning atmosphere that incorporates culturally and militarily operationally relevant realia and other authentic materials into the learning environment. Contract service providers are also expected to integrate the use of WebTools and current and emerging technologies (such as online learning management systems, basic audio/visual equipment, interactive whiteboards and touch-screens, satellite news broadcasts, interactive computer programs, social media and data sharing applications, digital audio/video media, etc.) into the learning environment to augment instruction and mirror the learning environment to the anticipated engagement environment to the greatest extent practicable.

1.2. Background. There is an ever-increasing demand for language and cultural capabilities throughout the Department of Defense (DOD), spurred by lessons learned and command guidance for Regional Aligned Forces’ engagements globally. The Army has faced this challenge in a variety of ways, to include increased instruction for Soldiers, increased performance of document exploitation (i.e. translations), and development of self-paced curricula. All personnel are required to receive some level of instruction in target languages and/or cultural orientations, with requirements ranging from ILR 0+ to 4+ in one or more skill. A variety of instructional resources are available to accomplish these goals. Command Language Programs (CLPs) throughout the Department of Defense (DOD) are the vehicles for accomplishing this required language and culture instruction. Additionally, there are increasing requirements for higher levels of proficiency to ensure the accomplishment of military tasks, as well as expanding technical requirements necessary for commanders to ensure professional linguists both maintain minimum proficiency levels and enhance their proficiency to meet the Army’s stated goal of ILR L3/R3/S3 (Listening, Reading, and Speaking). The CLPs provide facilities, equipment, and a combination of classroom instruction, self-paced learning opportunities, web-based instruction, and unit instruction to meet the needs of professional linguists, as well as all other Army personnel requiring language and/or culture capabilities to accomplish their military functions. As the Army participates in myriad Joint engagements, Army CLPs may also provide services to linguists from other services such as the Air Force, Marines and Navy, as well as their Reserve Components.
