Training in Language Development and Multilingual Education - SIL offers technical expertise and training to support the decisions of both local and diaspora communities about how to maintain their cultures and use their languages in new ways to address their changing needs.

SIL works in partnership with more than 20 institutions around the world to offer classroom and online training in applied linguistics and related subjects.
