About

The International Language Institute of Massachusetts (ILI)

is a private, non-profit language school located in Northampton, Massachusetts. ILI's mission is to promote intercultural understanding by providing quality language instruction and teacher training.

ILI's philosophy of teaching is learner-centered and participatory. Classes are small and students receive individual attention. Through simulations, class interviews, dialogues prepared from real-life situations, and discussions and games, the language is made real and immediately usable outside the classroom.

Since 1984, ILI has earned a distinguished international reputation for its excellent language and teacher training programs. The following programs are available:

• Intensive English Program
• Partner Colleges and Universities
• World Language Program
• ESOL Teacher Certificate
• Hampshire College
• Free English Classes
• Study in Spain
• Workplace Programs
• Volunteer Tutor Program

We provide Intensive English for the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program and the Pre-Academic Program for Fulbright Scholars.
