The Defense Language Institute Schools and Locations of Defense Language Institute is as follows:

Defense Language Institute English Language Center (DLIELC)
The DLIELC is a Department of Defense agency operated by the U.S. Air Force's 37th Training Wing, and it is responsible for training international military and civilian personnel to speak and teach English.

It also manages the English as a Second Language Program for the US military, and manages overseas English training programs. International students must be sponsored by an agency of the Department of Defense, and commonly include personnel from NATO member countries.


Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC)
The DLIFLC at the Presidio of Monterey, California (DLIFLC & POM) is the DoD's primary foreign language school.

Military service members study foreign languages at highly accelerated paces in courses ranging from 24 to 64 weeks in length.

Members of other Federal agencies and military services of other countries can also receive training, and members of other law enforcement agencies may receive Spanish language training.

Over 40 languages are taught at the DLIFLC including Afrikaans in Washington, DC and the following in Monterey: Modern Standard Arabic, Iraqi Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Dari, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Kurmanji, Pashto, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Sorani Kurdish, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Urdu, and Uzbek.

DLI-Washington
The DLIFLC also maintains the DLI-Washington office in the Washington, D.C. area.

It provides training in languages not taught at the Presidio of Monterey, such as "low-density languages" which do not require the same large volume of trained personnel.

There is some overlap, however, as candidates from the Defense Attaché System (DAS) are given local training in languages also available at the Monterey location.

Language training is done through DLI-Washington at the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) of the United States Department of State, and at various contracted foreign language schools in the metropolitan Washington, DC area.
