Welcome Educators!
Thank you for visiting IES!
The IES Language Foundation offers foreign language classes at school sites as after or before school enrichment programs and in curriculum. IES hires and trains the teachers, provides the registration flyers, and provide all student materials. All you need to do is provide us with a room at your school and a school calendar… and contact us today for more information or to start a program at your school.
IES has programs in Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese. IES Area Directors are located throughout the United States to work with you to start a program at your school.
IES believes that a language can not be separated from its culture, therefore our classes contribute to multicultural sensitivity and understanding in the community, state, nation and world. Learning a second language helps to prepare children for adult life in the competitive international world.
If you have an IES program at your school send us an email about how it is working for your school.

SKILL: Language
LEARNING WINDOW: Birth to 10 years
WHAT WE KNOW: Circuits in the auditory cortex, representing the sounds that form words, are wired by the age of 1. The more words a child hears by 2, the larger his/her vocabulary will grow.
WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT: Talk to your child—a lot. If you want him/her to master a second language, introduce it by the age of 10.
