We started a part-time SIT TESOL (Teaching English

We started a part-time SIT TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Certificate program course that meets two evenings a week and three Saturdays between September and December. The course is remote, but participants will observe in-person ILI classes. And they started teaching this week, offering additional free English classes for students on our waiting list and for students outside of the U.S. who are looking to improve their English. Our next on-line course is a four-week intensive beginning October 10.

"ILI helped me find a language school in Spain this year. The school in studied at in Spain was exactly what I was looking for this year!! I am a French teacher who wanted to start learning Spanish and hopefully teach it! I feel it was a great place to get started to do that, I think I accomplished what I wanted to! Malaga is such a beautiful fun city with so many great restaurants, museums, and of course the beach!" - Ryan

Pastor Rev. Sarah Buteux greeted 17 students from 15 different countries in ILI’s Intensive English Program and led them on an enthusiastic tour of one of Northampton’s outstanding landmarks-- @firstchurches . She gave a short history of the church and answered student questions about the magnificent stained glass windows that were recently removed, cleaned and put back in place, a very careful operation. Students also learned about the meaning of the congregation’s faith and its practice of LGBTQ+ inclusivity. The tour wrapped up with students ringing the church’s bell. Thank you, Rev. Sarah, for a wonderful intercultural experience!
