Introduction
We offer language courses for companies and employees that bring specific language training to the workplace. Whether you’re a small business, large corporation, public institution, or government agency, we will create customized language training for employees that meets your needs.
We design bespoke corporate language training in Spanish, Portuguese, French, English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Business Writing, as well as other languages and communication skills. Incorporating specialized vocabulary and workplace culture components, our business language training delivers the dynamic teaching and learner-centered methodology for which ILI is widely known.
Flexible and focused on effective communication, we provide initial assessment, on-going evaluation and reports, check-ins with supervisors and other interested personnel, and final evaluation and recommendations. Whether you’re an institution training up your staff in Spanish or an international firm tightening up your team’s English business writing skills, our aim is to teach practical language skills that can be put to use in the workplace immediately.
Our language training for employees integrates the four skill areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. At the lower levels, participants focus on speaking and understanding to make an immediate impact in the workplace. Our corporate foreign language training incorporates the specific grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation skills that make the most sense for your employees to learn and practice. Class activities include pair and group work, role plays, work with pictures and authentic materials (readings, audio and video, etc.), writing exercises, and vocabulary building.
We offer corporate language training online and in-person at our campus in Northampton, Massachusetts. Our English language corporate training also includes a cultural component to help your employees collaborate proactively with colleagues and contribute meaningfully to the mission of your organization.
