ELTIS (English Language Teaching Institute of Symbiosis)

Vision : Enable the youth of India and of other countries to face the challenging world, through effective Language Skills and Communicative competence.

Mission : To impart excellent training in English Language Skills & Communication Skills with the aid of latest educational methods & techniques.

English is a universal and important language in the world today. It is used for everything from international academic conferences to news reports to business communication to popular music lyrics. It is the language of the internet. Founders of Symbiosis had the foresight to pre-judge this importance of the power of the language.

English Language Teaching Institute of Symbiosis, popularly known as ELTIS, commenced its activities in 1972 to render help and guidance to the international and Indian learners to grasp the language of power. It has been offering courses in written and spoken English to ever increasing number of students from Yemen, Oman, Djibouti, Iran, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Thailand, Korea, Japan, China, and many other countries.  Today ELTIS has students from 21 countries  across the globe, literally making it a”mini-world”. Indian students have also benefited from the Speakfast courses organized by the institute.

The educational programmes of ELTIS are accessible to students from different nationalities and to people from diverse walks of life and cultural background. With an eye on the future, ELTIS is introducing new programmes of study and is aiming at providing the best educational experience to its students.

Vision :  To make Indian & International  Students globally competent and competitive from communication point of view.

Mission : To develop and strengthen  the multi-lingual  capacities  of Indian students, through skill-based modern teaching techniques.
Today when the world has been transformed into a village, multilingualism has gained tremendous significance. Language constructs our thinking and it enables us to function in this communicative world. With scientific, technological, commercial and cultural exchange on its high internationally, knowledge of foreign languages has become an essential qualification.
With an aim to strengthen the multi-lingual capacities of Indians, SIFIL commenced its activities in the year 2000. Today SIFIL has full-fledged, well-designed modules for six foreign languages- German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. A course in Persian & Arabic is in the offing. To facilitate communication between Indians pouring into Pune from other parts of India, SIFIL has planned courses in Functional Hindi and Functional Marathi. International students can also benefit from all the SIFIL courses, thus bridging the barriers arising due to cultural displacements.

SIFIL became a constituent of Symbiosis International University effective January 15, 2007. We, therefore, plan to launch long term courses of eight months to one year duration.
