Autonomous Language Sustainment (ALS) 

Autonomous Language Sustainment (ALS) focuses on the development of independent learners. 

Language Enhancement After DLI (LEAD): 

ALS offers a 4-hour post DLPT seminar called Language Enhancement after DLI that is designed to help DLI graduates make the transition from classroom learning to field-based learning. LEAD objectives include:

• Helping DLI graduates become more effective self-directed language learners in the field.
• Training, supporting, and encouraging DLI graduates to enhance their foreign language proficiency in the field.
• Raising awareness about the importance of proficiency maintenance as members of the intelligence field.
• Informing graduates about resources available in the field such as the Command Language Program, SCOLA, Lingnet, etc.

Online Resource Seminars:

ALS also offers 1-hour workshops about online resources that are available for independent language proficiency development. Workshops are delivered in English, but are focused on target-language development.
