We design programs in Spanish and English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) to meet the needs of a particular workplace. Specialized vocabulary and workplace culture are integrated into the learner-centered methodology for which ILI has become recognized. We provide initial assessment, on-going evaluation and reports, check-ins with supervisors and other interested personnel and final evaluation and recommendations.
