Abstract:
The projected decline in the male population through the next decade and the Navy fleet expansion are expected to have a serious impact on Navy recruiting. The potential manpower shortage may preclude the Navy from achieving its required manning levels. A potential source of manpower is from minority groups who may lack proficiency in the English language. However, the Navy must provide special language training as well as technical training to prepare these individuals for fleet duty. The Navy has identified three programs which could provide remedial training to enlisted personnel who speak English as a second language. This report presents training effectiveness and cost data for the Army pilot program conducted at the Defense Language Institute, the Navy pilot program conducted at the English Technical Language School (managed by the Puerto Rico National Guard), and Naval Verbal Skills Curriculum program. Also presented are training track options using one or more of the training programs which were developed based on projected posttest English Language Center scores, costs, and weeks of training.
