Our Training Process

While PGLS can customize the language training program to suit your specific needs, this is an example of a standard Language Training process.

1. CUSTOMIZE YOUR TRAINING PROGRAM

PGLS will work with you to determine the best training program. We offer programs online, at our onsite facilities, and at government facilities across the United states. The language training program can be customized by completing a needs assessment of the student(s) to identify their requirements, learning objectives, training time, prior language experiences, and language assessments to ensure the training they receive is at their level. Level-appropriate materials and curriculums will then be developed based on their needs, requirements, and proficiency level.

2. GET LEARNING

PGLS instructors provide contextual and cultural training including speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Kinesthetic, visual, auditory, etc. All students have unique opportunities to develop language skills in the way that best suits their learning styles. Our programs include opportunities for conversation, real-world/hands-on experience, visualizations, and practice with the written word. 

3. EVALUATE

PGLS does not use a cookie cutter approach to language learning. Throughout a language training program, PGLS instructors and assessment specialists will measure each student's progress and provide feedback and reports on their proficiency based on various language proficiency scales, such as the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) scale. These evaluations help the instructor and the student target specific areas which may need more attention.
