The actual figure was 3 of 39 french students. All three scoring 1,1,1. I dont have figures for the other Cat 1/2's and Cat 3/4's test this week. Prior to this last French class students were being tested in week 8 and still only had 50% first time go's.
The idea is that SFQC students will study the language material they received after SFAS throughout the course. The trouble here is there isn't adequate time, at least not in the 18D course, to study your MOS and your language as well.
The break down is as such:
SFAS --received language CD's and books for self-study.
PH-II --at end of SERE students take a 2 week block of language prior to starting MOS
PH-III --8 weeks into MOS training for the A,B,C,E there is another two week block of language, Medics break for their 2 week block 40 weeks into MOS training.
PH-III --last 5 weeks of MOS
BLITZ--After MOS training Cat 1/2 languages have 8 weeks and Cat 3/4 have 12 weeks. Though blitz is supposed to be 2/3 months respectfully they are starting the testing in week 5 for Cat 1/2 and 9 weeks for Cat 3/4.
The passing score has been raised from 0+, 0+ to a 1,1,1.
Those who don't pass the first time will receive 150 hours retraining (3 weeks) and will be retested. Those who fail the retest will be sent to Group with a letter stating they failed to receive a passing grade on the DLPT.
SAGE --Target languages are supposed to be utilized during CULEX.
As I understand it, from speaking to several different teachers, the powers that be were told this was not an effective means to teach language.
As for materials, they are using the SOLT with some Rosetta Stone and Berlitz for self-study.
Hope this explains it a bit better
