The International Study and Language Institute (ISLI) have over 40 years of specialist expertise in providing language, pedagogy and study skills education
to both international professionals and international students.
International professional development courses
If you work in education, our professional development courses can help you in the areas of teaching English as a second or foreign language, writing and publishing English, university leadership, and university services.
Visiting Student Programme
If your students are interested in experiencing life in a UK university, we can design a bespoke course for you.
Our courses aim to improve your students' English language skills, introduce them to British culture and give them the opportunity to study specific university subjects.
International Summer School
As a student from a partner university, you will experience studying at the University of Reading on this two-week course. You will receive core teaching in the English Language and UK culture, and enjoy educational and cultural trips.
Homestay hosting
Many of the students on our short courses, such as our professional development courses and the Visiting Student Programme, choose to stay with a local host family.
