Consulting
ALC offers one on one consulting services with participants from all over the world, with their language needs, including but not limited:
- Helping students to evaluate their credential needs when transferring to US colleges.
- Helping participants to evaluate the cultural training to meet their travel needs.
- Helping participants evaluate the type of various language training they need.
Dialect Training
We teach the language using modern standard Arabic dialect. We offer a variety of Arabic dialects based on the participant’s selection.
Native Tutors
All ALC instructors have native proficiency which will allow the opportunity for participants to master the language.
Interpretation
We provide oral interpreting services for a variety of situations including, but not limited to, appointments, meetings, consultations, conferences, and events. ALC sets itself apart by offering high-quality interpreting coupled with competitive rates and a full-time staff to support the participant’s needs.
We provide excellent 24/7 phone interpreting with a connection rate of fewer than 20 seconds. Phone interpreting is perfect for emergency situations in which an interpreter can’t come to the location within a specified time frame. Phone interpreting can also be used when a rare language or dialect is needed, and an onsite interpreter is not available.
Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) is the video chat equivalent of phone interpretation. VRI is an on-demand, cost-effective alternative to in-person interpretation. The ALC VRI service is available through any computer with internet access and a webcam, making it convenient for the participant to use with the participant’s existing systems.
Translation
TRANSLATION
ALC offers translation services for audio and video recordings. All translations are reviewed and proofread before final submission to our client.
TRANSCRIPTION
ALC offers transcription services for audio and video recordings. All transcriptions are reviewed and proofread before final submission to our client.
SUBTITLING
Subtitles are words that appear on the screen during a movie, video, or television show and are translations of what the actors/narrators are saying. ALC will transcribe your script. We will help the client determine what kind of subtitle service is needed- closed or open captions. Due to language expansion, our linguist may have to alter the text to fit in the allotted time while still conveying the proper message.
VOICEOVER
Voice-over is a production technique where a voice— that is not part of the narrative— is used in a radio or television production, filmmaking, theatre, or other presentation. The voice-over is read from a script by a specialist in voice talent. It is usually pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and is commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information.
Private Session
PRIVATE SESSIONS
We offer private sessions as is believes one-on-one language training is the most effective environment for language learning. Our interactive teaching methodology, coupled with a curriculum tailored to fit your needs, bridges your communication and cultural gaps and allows you to begin to understand and speak the language the right way. We implement the communicative method combined with task-based lessons and inquiry projects to drive language learning. In this fun, dynamic environment, your instructor focuses on your learning style and language learning history. You have class when you are free to meet and gain the confidence and skills you need at the pace you set.
GROUP SESSIONS
We also offer group learning sessions. Group sessions are dynamic and interactive, allowing participants to build their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through authentic conversation, simulations of real-life interactions, and other relevant language tasks. Group sessions not only provide an opportunity for language learning, but are also highly motivating. Speakers at every level work in pairs, groups, and as a class. Beginning sessions focus on the basics of the language, vocabulary, meaningful dialogue, culture, asking questions, and introductions. Learners bring their previous knowledge to class and are challenged by extended practice through dialogue and presentations. The material learned in a typical, basic group class is useful for simple communication/conversation or travel to the target area.
MODES
ALC operates language sessions all throughout the U.S. as well as in Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa. Sessions can be held in person (by request only), or online via Zoom, Teams, Skype, WhatsApp, and other similar platforms.
