SUBJECT: Language Training Division Weekly Report
1. French instructor last week completed the
second running of her "Interactive Video and Follow-up Activities"
workshop series. Eighteen LTD instructors have attended the workshop
which stresses interactive video classroom use, with activities
constructed around brief video segments which engage language students in
"real-life" activities. This departs from the traditional
mutiple-choice, true-or-false exercises of the recent past, and is based
on the theory that language teaching must be meaningful to succeed. The
workshop also demonstrates that much interactive video activity is
possible with just a videodisc player and a teacher where formal
25X1 computer-delivered lessons are unavailable.
2. Al the reauest of the Intelligence Training Division, Arabic
25X1 instructor gave a well-received 45-minute presentation
entitled: "Encountering America; Middle Eastern Culture Shock" to
25X1 participants in the Middle East Survey course.
3. On Tuesday, 12 April 1988, LTD Farsi students and instructors
will attend a lecture entitled "Iran and America: An Uncertain Future"
at the Middle East Institute of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced
25X1 International Studies.
4. There were 28 reading and 31 oral proficiency tests during the
25X1 past week.

2. of LDA led a workshop on
Understanding How Russians Think on 7-8 April. The first day focused on
influences, with presentations by Professor Donna Bahry (NYU) on
generational differences regarding political values and "getting ahead,"
by Steven Grant and Richard Dobson (USIA) on education, and by Greg
Guroff (USIA) on historical influences. The second day examined a model
of the psychological profile of a Russian, presented by and
psychiatrist Friday afternoon was devoted to
consideration of the model and additional areas to be explored.
Twenty-one officers from across the Agency participated in the workshop.
25X1 3. of the Topical Issues Branch directed the third
running of the Middle East Survey, which took place on 4-8 April and was
attended by 22 students from a variety of Agency components. The course
featured a heavy emphasis on current issues in the region, especially the
crisis in the West Bank, and on the cultural values and outlook of Middle
Easterners. Three speakers of Middle East origin were included in the
program. The most distinctive feature of this running was the high
degree of dialogue between speakers and students, with almost all
lecturers running over their allotted time because of the number of
25X1 questions they had to field.
4. STI conducted the Technical Writing Course on 5-7 April for 16
students. They rated the overall course 4.4 and instructor effectiveness
5.0 (on a 5-point scale). This was the first time, since the course was
opened to all Agency employees in January, that students from other
25X1 directorates, mainly from the DA, outnumbered those from DSU.
5. STI conducted the Managerial Power Course for 20 DSO. students,
mostly mid-level managers, on 6-8 April. Dr. George Peabody of the
Associates for Creative Leadership presented the course, which was an
intensive learning experience in the fundamentals of responsible
managerial power. The course consisted of lectures and role playing
exercises and was rated by the students as a worthwhile experience that
25X1 would benefit managers and non-managers.

25X1 in helping evelop a course for new inspectors.
6. Stress Management for Managers, a mainstay of the Electives for
Managers program, ran 7 April 1988 with 25 students attending. There
were 6 cancellations but no no-shows. The reconfirmati ts by
25X1 MTB seems to a partial answer to this chronic problem.
The course was a success by any standard. The overall course rated a
4.6 on a 1-5 scale, while instructor presentation received 4.9. Sue
Gebelein from Personnel Decisions, Inc. has had 15 years experience in
25X1 stress management and is an exceptional instructor.
The level of stress expressed by some in the class was of concern to
MTB. Employee Assistance brochures were made available at the end of the
course with the suggestions that EAP's services be used if the techniques
25X1 learned in the class were not, in themselves, enough.

7. attended the pilot running of the OIT

25X1 developed the course. The course was held
and included discussion with ED Maloney, D/OIT, the five OTT Group
Chiefs, and OTT and OP personnel involved in handling difficult employee
problems. The focus of course, which as tailored to OTT needs, was
personnel management. The course material complemented, rather than
duplicated material presented in MCIA and LPCIA. A highlight of the
course was a task given to them to make recommendations to him on how OTT
25X1 could better handle trial period employees. OTT has mployees
25X1 with less than three years experience and emp oyees w o have not
officially completed the probationary period (OMS, and OS processing

by the contractor and staff trainers this course will be revised before
it is offered again. Revisions will consist mainly of shuffling the

Student evaluations at the end ot the course were auite positive.
All of the speakers did well, but Dick Kerr,
and the "speakers from the DDA" were singled out as being particularly
outstanding. Many of the students commented that of all the directorates
they were most taken with the DDA because of the breadth of its
responsibilities and key support role.
