Militaries across the world are co-operating and working together more closely than ever before. Increasingly, the language of co-operation is English, particularly when militaries are co-operating with the United Nations and other international agencies.
Edinburgh Language Academy offers a military English course which develops the language skills of the participating soldiers and is measured against NATO's STANAG 6001 framework. The framework ranks students' language skills over 6 levels:
Level 0 - No practical proficiency
Level 1 - Elementary
Level 2 - Fair (Limited working)
Level 3 - Good (Minimum professional)
Level 4 - Very good (Full professional)
Level 5 - Excellent (Native/Bilingual)
Language proficiency is recorded with a profile of 4 digits indicating the specific skills in the following order: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing. For example, a soldier's abilities could be listed as 3222. In this case, the soldier's listening skill is stronger than his other skills.
We teach military English over levels 0 to 4 of the framework. The course covers the four skills and develops abilities in contexts commonly met by soldiers working in international situations. For example, a solider studying course level 1 will meet language encountered during military exercises, giving a situation report or participating in briefings. The course will include work in the classroom and excursions to local army reserve bases.
