Chaperons
The chaperons you send to accompany the group play an important and welldefined role. Striking the right balance between supporting the students and theILI staff is an important factor in the success of the program.
To help with the program preparation, we recommend that you clearly identifyroles for the chaperons by choosing from the following three options.
Option 1If the chaperons are English teachers, they can attend a CELTA teacher-trainingcourse in the mornings as observers and participate in the social activities withthe students in the afternoons. This option is provided at no additional cost toyour group or your chaperons.
Option 2Similarly, the chaperons can attend any of our regular ongoing English classes, atany level that suits them. The chaperons will be provided with a certificate ofattendance. This option is provided at no additional cost to your group or yourchaperons.

Option 3Another option is for your chaperons to attend a customized ILI program duringthe mornings that can combine language learning and teacher training modules.ILI will provide your participants with an official certificate for this course at theend of the study period.
