 LOCATION:

 APPLICATION INFORMATION:

New classes begin officially every 4 weeks. However, a student may actually enter the program at any time. This is because a placement test allows us to place the student at the appropriate point in the course. Students must mail or fax to ILI a completed application form along with a $50 application fee. Students wishing to participate in the Homestay Program must mail or fax to ILI a Student Profile form as well as a $100 placement fee. Students may apply to ILI on-line through our web site, www.transemantics.com. Students requesting an I-20 form must submit a financial bank statement, indicating that sufficient funds are available to study in the U.S. It is very important to note that U.S. law forbids our acceptance of applicants who do not have sufficient funds to study at ILI without the necessity to work.

 EDUCATIONAL SERVICES/OPPORTUNITIES:

ILI's Dean of Students provides academic counseling to students and assists in American college/university placement. Our language lab is available after class for students wishing to improve their listening skills. Our new computer lab is available for students who will be taking the computer-adaptive TOEFL test.

 STUDENT SERVICES:

ILI's Homestay Coordinator assists students wishing to participate in the homestay program. Meetings regarding U.S. cultural orientation are held every 4 weeks. The Coordinator also helps students seeking non-homestay accommodation. ILI's Foreign Student Advisor organizes weekly field trips to the sightseeing points of Washington, D.C. as well as holiday parties, soccer games, and "coffee house" get-togethers.

 TRANSPORTATION:

ILI's Van Ness Center is located right next to the Red Line Metro Service. Transportation time from Dulles International Airport is approximately 45 minutes. From National Airport, it is approximately 30 minutes.
