91B Medical Specialist Special Forces (Russian). Method for Determining Language Objectives and Criteria, Volume X.
Setzler, Hubert H., Jr.; And Others
The job position of medical specialist of special forces as performed in Russian is described in terms of terminal skill objectives (TSOs) and enabling objectives (EOs). This analysis is part of the communication/language objectives-based system (C/LOBS), which supports the front-end analysis efforts of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center. The C/LOBS project, which is described in 13 volumes and an executive summary, functions as a subsystem of the instructional systems development approach currently in use in the TRADOC school system. Five job/duty positions and three languages were selected for field testing and system validation. This volume presents the results of the task analysis of Russian language requirements for medical specialist. The job tasks of the medical specialist use two communicative activities: "interviews" and "demonstrations." The language functions critical to communicative task performance are referenced in the TSOs and EOs. Following each TSO a mapping sheet is provided to direct the user to the materials that further define both the communicative activities and the Russian language necessary to accomplish those tasks. The EOs provide a detailed outline of each communicative activity required. (SW)
