Language and Culture Training

There can be little debate over the current pressing requirement within government to establish a force, both military and civilian, that is fully competent in cross-cultural communication and language proficiency.  Today, our nation finds itself in the midst of a generational struggle, which will not be won in a single engagement, in a single region, or by a single solution.  The irregular threats contained in this multi-faceted Global Conflict, requires that we challenge the long-standing approach to language and cultural learning.  In recognition of this paradigm shift, ProSol has successfully established a model that effectively enables the development of personnel that are linguistically adept and culturally aware that meets the challenges of today, and beyond.

ProSol’s approach seeks to assist our clients in clearly identifying their requirements by accurately conducting a mission-focused analysis, thereby enabling maximum utilization of available resources and time.

Our mission-focused analysis consists of:

• Widening the aperture to create a full appreciation of the requirements
• Emphasizing the operational relevance of language and culture.  In other words, the “So what”
• Addressing language and culture education not solely for the sake of learning, but seeking to provide operational or business relevance to our training
• Incorporating a training approach that presents language and culture education as an additional tool or implement, that supports successful worldwide interactions
• Facilitating the ability to adroitly maneuver the cultural terrain in any climate and place
• Recognizing that language conveys what someone says, while culture provides the meaning or content of those words
• Understanding that regional comprehension of culture provides a graphic representation of that society
