Goals and Expectations: It is important for you to realize that your primary mission while at PLTCE is to improve your language skills to the maximum extent possible.
The teaching-learning relationship is a cooperative one in which both the teacher and the student are engaged in a mutual effort to determine the optimal program of instruction. You are expected to take full advantage of this unique learning opportunity and to cooperate with your instructors in establishing and monitoring your own course of study.

Examinations: Depending on your language, you may receive a placement exam on the first day. At the end of the course, you will be given a final proficiency exam, the Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT). The DLPT evaluates your proficiency in reading and in listening comprehension and is also used to assess PLTCE instruction. You will be issued a DA Form 330 showing your official DLPT listening and reading skill levels.
