Welcome to the Tennessee Foreign Language Institute
 
We are located in Nashville, a thriving, multicultural community--the "Athens of the South."  Home to prestigious universities such as Vanderbilt and Fisk, Nashville affords many opportunities for cultural enrichment to its citizens.  TFLI has the unique privilege of serving this community as the only state-supported language institution in the U.S. (More on TFLI funding here.)
 
Established by the Tennessee General Assembly in 1986, we have offered courses in over 100 world languages since 1987 and over the years have expanded our scope to include:  
 
  • Trained instructors in foreign language education from Arabic to Vietnamese
  • Superior English language instruction to serve non-native speakers of 
    the state of Tennessee
  • Quality translation and interpretation services for the state government, the business community, and the citizens of Tennessee
  • Professional training of interpreters and translators in the legal, medical, technical and commercial fields
  • Professional development of instructors of foreign languages
    • An internationally recognized 140-hour certification program for Teachers of English as a Second Language (TESL)
  • Cultural awareness programs to inform public-safety professionals and others about the traditions and practices of non-native citizens.

 

My staff and I are happy to provide further information about TFLI. We look forward to hearing from you.  

 

                                                                        Sincerely, 

                

                                                                        Janice Snow Rodriguez
