Yayasan LIA

Lembaga Bahasa LIA is one of the leading English course providers in Indonesia, with a history that spans over six decades. Established in 1959, LIA began as a small initiative and has grown into a nationally trusted institution that delivers high-quality English language education. Today, LIA serves tens of thousands of learners each quarter through more than 50 branches across the country, as well as through a growing network of online learning platforms that make English education more accessible to people from diverse backgrounds. LIA’s English programs are structured, leveled, and carefully tailored to suit learners of all ages and proficiency levels—from children and teens to university students, professionals, and adult learners. The curriculum follows a communicative, learner-centered approach that emphasizes the practical use of English in everyday communication, academic tasks, and professional settings. In addition to General English, LIA offers international test preparation courses for TOEFL®, IELTS™, and TOEIC®, as well as customized English training designed for workplace and academic purposes. LIA also provides Bahasa Indonesia for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) programs, helping non-Indonesian learners develop the language skills needed to navigate social, academic, and professional contexts in Indonesia. To meet the increasing demand for English assessment that is both accessible and relevant to the Indonesian context, LIA has developed its own English proficiency test. Designed by LIA’s academic team, this test is offered in both online and onsite formats. It is widely used by individuals, schools, companies, and government institutions to assess English language skills in a standardized, practical, and reliable manner. This innovation reflects LIA’s commitment to providing solutions that combine global standards with local needs. Beyond language instruction, LIA plays a vital role in the advancement of English Language Teaching (ELT) in Indonesia. The institution actively supports teacher development through regular seminars, training programs, workshops, and communities of practice that enhance teaching quality and empower educators. LIA’s long-standing contributions have helped shape the landscape of English teaching and professional learning across the country. LIA also partners with international publishers, academic institutions, and assessment organizations to ensure its programs remain up-to-date and globally relevant. These collaborations enrich the learning experience for both students and educators by providing access to high-quality resources, innovative materials, and shared best practices. With a strong academic foundation, professional teaching staff, and a forward-looking mindset, LIA continues to be a strategic partner in English language development in Indonesia. It is recognized and trusted by learners, educators, educational institutions, corporations, and government agencies for its consistent delivery of impactful and future-ready English programs.
