In Djibouti, for more than 130 years French has been the official language in which all government business was performed, in which all government schools were taught and in which many other informal business arrangements were transacted. Recognizing that internet technology and many other areas of knowledge are now dominated by the use of English, the government is now promoting or even demanding the use of English in many settings.

IAS is responding to this need by providing native-speakers with high-quality training in the teaching of English as a foreign language for the purpose of teaching English to local Djiboutians – primarily young professionals or those who aspire to be such.
