ILI

The International Language Institute of Massachusetts (ILI) promotes intercultural understanding and diverse communities by providing high-quality language instruction and teacher training.

Learn English!


ILI teaching methods sets us apart

In an ILI classroom, our amazing teachers, all with Master’s degrees or equivalent experience, know how to get learners communicating in English right away!  We create a trusting environment so that students feel comfortable speaking up and practicing their new skills.

English becomes more real through pictures, modeling, gestures, real-life situations and natural repetition. All classes include pair and group work, active participation and dynamic activities that focus on communicating in English.

Information about ILI’s Free English for Immigrants and Refugees program.

ILI  is accredited by ACCET, the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training and by IALC, the International Association of Language Centres.

We are getting a makeover! 🛠️A big thank you We are getting a makeover! 🛠️A big thank you goes to the @cityofnorthampton ’s ARPA Community Recovery grant program and to our incredible landlord, J. Rockwell (Rocky) Allen of Emerald City Partners, for making ILI’s Building the Future project possible. ⭐️ The renovation will create six larger classrooms, reconfigure and upgrade the HVAC system, provide ADA-compliant restrooms and ADA entry and exit points and build a common space to accommodate cultural events for students and the public. Northampton Mayor @glformayor (above, center) and Rocky (second from left) joined ILI staff, board members and students to mark the beginning phase (deconstruction) of the project. We’ll report on progress in upcoming newsletters and anticipate the renovation will be finished in time to celebrate ILI’s 40th birthday next August! 🎉
