ISLET Culture Components

These online, web-based, culture components of ISLET are interactive learning systems that provide useful information about the cultures and people of various countries. The material is presented in multiple formats and invites participation in a user friendly environment.  The courses offer cultural awareness, cultural understanding, and regional understanding training along with an introduction to some basic language. (For significant language training, see the "ISLET Language Courses" project.)

Currently there are three culture components you can access: Afghanistan, Iraq, and Senegal. To participate in an individual course, click on the appropriate graphic below. Login credentials for the course are username/password combination student1/student1.

What is ISLET?

The acronym ISLET (Integrated System for Language Education and Training) refers to a social language learning portal with integrated speech recognition and a Unity3D game. ISLET provides an immersive educational experience with aspects of cooperative, competitive and collaborative learning. ISLET is a sophisticated online system that integrates a language curriculum, community features, and games to teach survival second language and cultural skills to military personnel. This research project is funded by the Office of Naval Research.
