ILI

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

ILI Responds to COVID-19

ILI is meeting the COVID-19 challenge and all of our programs are online! Teachers and staff are working nonstop to keep ILI up and running for you. Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far…

  1. Our World Language classes are now online with German, French and Spanish Summer Classes.  Get all the details here. We are also offering opportunities to study Arabic, Chinese, Italian and Japanese at our partner schools. Online private tutorials are available with ILI instructors in German, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
  2. Our Intensive English Program is online. Teachers are working with students across a number of different platforms to continue delivering high-quality English instruction. We have new 2-week, part-time online classes, incorporating the same excellent learner-centered approaches that students from around the world have welcomed over the past 36 years.
  3. Our free English classes for immigrants and refugees continue online, but we need your support now more than ever. Like every nonprofit in our area, we’ve cancelled our annual fundraiser—Giving Voice, which accounts for more than 30% of the money needed to run these classes. Many of our immigrant and refugee students have lost their service-sector jobs and face serious challenges in accessing vital services such as food and health care. They need strong English skills to compete for future employment once hiring resumes. Please help us help them! Donate today.
  4. Our Teacher Training and Workplace Training courses are now online.  As the scope of this worldwide crisis continues to evolve, you can count on ILI to meet all your language and training needs, now and into the future. If you have any questions about ILI or want to learn more about our online programs, please refer to our Staff Page.

“Juneteenth has never been a celebration of vict “Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible—and there is still so much work to do.” — Barack Obama

We are thrilled to be one of three nonprofits that We are thrilled to be one of three nonprofits that are the Change for Change recipients at @rivervalleycoop along with #NolumbekaProject and @riquezasdelcampocoop ✨The three of us will not only receive all Change for Change donations made in June but also the proceeds from this year's Strawberry Ice Cream Social, which returns on June 23rd.

The Nolumbeka Project envisions a Connecticut River Valley where the histories, cultures and persistence of Northeastern Indigenous Peoples are recognized and celebrated, and where all beings coexist in balance and reciprocity.

Riquezas Del Campo is an immigrant-led, worker-owned cooperative farm in Hatfield, MA that began leasing land on the Grow Food Northampton Community Farm in 2021. 

✨Pictured here is Megan, a cashier at RV. Next time you’re shopping, please consider rounding up in support of these nonprofits.
