‘inlingua’, in Latin, means ‘in the language’. This name has been chosen since in an inlingua classroom only that language is used which the students have come to learn. The teaching methodology at inlingua focuses on learning the target language by speaking in the language, without translating it to one’s native language. Founded in Switzerland in 1968, it has grown to become an international network of almost 340 language Centers in over 40 countries.

At inlingua our objective is to impart confidence in the student to be able to speak English or a Foreign language. Our method not only improves a student’s oral communication or speaking skills but also allows the student to continually improve via his/her sense of confidence in the language.

In class the students learn by speaking and listening. They are encouraged to participate in ‘real life’ activities, role-plays and discussions where they are required to speak and listen to their colleagues and instructor. This gives them a chance to apply what they are learning and prepares them to face similar situations in the real world confidently. The inlingua method is also significantly different from the lecture method since 70% of the class time is spent by the students speaking in the target language. Reading and writing are deliberately ignored during class. The students are required to work on these skills at home through the inlingua materials given to them when they register for a course.

inlingua’s teaching and learning method is unique and interesting. Our USP is teaching the language by making the student speak in the language from day one, the student speaks more than the instructor, our classes consist of a small number of students, the instructors are well trained and experienced in the inlingua method of teaching and we focus on speaking the language rather than writing it.

inlingua Level corresponds to that of ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe) and with 300 Centers across the globe, inlingua is recognized the world over. In India, we
are not affiliated to any University, which also allows us to customize our courses to the work environment.

We are in the process of making a placement cell. This cell will bridge the gap between employers who want well trained English speakers and our students who would like to apply their learning in these companies.
