Description
The ability to speak a foreign language is a core unconventional warfare skill and is being incorporated throughout all phases of the Special Forces qualification course. The students will receive their language assignment after the selection phase where they will receive a language starter kit that allows them to begin language training while waiting to return to Fort Bragg for Phase II. The 3rd Bn, 1st SWTG (A) is responsible for all language training at the USAJFKSWCS. The Special Operations Language Training (SOLT) is primarily a performance-oriented language course. Students are trained in one of ten core languages with enduring regional application and must show proficiency in speaking, listening and reading. A student receives language training throughout the Pipeline.
In Phase IV, students attend an 8 or 14 week language blitz depending upon the language they are slotted in. The general purpose of the course is to provide each student with the ability to communicate in a foreign language. For successful completion of the course, the student must achieve at least a 1/1/1 or higher on the Defense Language Proficiency Test in two of the three graded areas; speaking, listening and reading.
SPECIAL OPERATIONS LANGUAGE TRAINING (SOLT)
Special Operations Language Training (SOLT) is divided into six (6) modules of Instructor text.
Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, the student will have achieved a level in listening, speaking, and reading proficiency equivalent to the ACTFL intermediate-low level and a memorized proficiency in writing. Small-group classroom instruction emphasizes communicative competence in oral/aural skills and task-based reading skills. An integral learning format, directed toward functional language use, incorporates modules that include everyday situations and specialized military tasks as well as cultural and writing components.
