Mission & Impact Statements Mission The TFLI Fund, Inc. was established in January 1995 as a means of support for the Tennessee Foreign Language Institute (TFLI), an agency of the State of Tennessee established in 1986 by the General Assembly and dedicated to responsive public service. TFLI strives to provide quality language instruction, translation and interpretation services, professional development for interpreters, translators and language instructors, and cultural awareness programs, all of which are designed to meet the needs of the state government and its employees, the business community, foreign language educators, and the public at large. Background The TFLI Fund, Inc. was established as a 501(c)3 in January 1995 as a means of support for the Tennessee Foreign Language Institute (TFLI), an agency of the State of Tennessee established in 1986 by the General Assembly. In its charter, the TFLI Fund, Inc. is organized exclusively for educational purposes, with the following specific purposes. To promote, encourage, assist and foster 1. education, particularly in the area of the learning of foreign languages. 2. and provide for the dissemination of knowldege and research concerning the learning of foreign languages. The Fund meets quarterly to discuss opportunities to promote awareness of TFLI and raise funds for the Institute. Board members are volunteers. The initial directors of the TFLI Fund, Inc. were Dr. Phillip J. Campana, Dr. Steve Cobb, Ms. Sandra Ford Fulton, Mr. Rich Riebling, Dr Joesph E. Johnson, Ms. Judith O. Liff, Dr. Arliss L. Roaden, and Dr. Charles E. Smith. Impact The TN Foreign Language Institute teaches over 2500 students annually in foreign language, English as a Second Language and professional development for teachers and interpreters. We provide need and commitment-based scholarships to deserving individuals through our Rasmussen Scholarship program. awarding thousands of dollars in aid to those who could not otherwise begin to broaden their linguistic and cultural horizons. We support Title VI of the Civil Rights Act which ensures linguistic access to federally funded services. The quality of the service provided is important to us as well. We assess the skills of interpreters used in medical settings for the community and provide interpretation and translation services to corporations, healthcare providers, state and local governments, social services and individuals. We interact with the community in participation in seminars and multicultural events. We are concerned with issues that affect the immigrant and refugee communities of Tennessee, and seek to be of service where we can. We provide translators and interpreters, at times at low or no cost when possible, to facilitate communication for those with limited English proficiency. We maximize opportunities through creative financial management of our scarce resources. We created a barter program in which volunteers may work in our offices in exchange for courses. We advocate foreign language acquisition for other employees in public service and sought and won legislative approval for participation in the fee waiver program for state of Tennessee employees. TFLI is affiliated with the American Translators Assn., the Nashville and Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, the Natl. Assn. of Judiciary Interpreters & Translators, The National Early Language Learning Org., Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, TN Assn. of Prof. Interpreters & Translators, and the TN Foreign Language Teachers Association. We actively seek to create a dialogue with the world. Needs In an effort to make our classes and linguistic services more accessible, we need to subsidize the cost of service provision through scholarships and financial assistance. Quality interpretation services, for example, are in demand, but the prevailing market rate with the interpreters we contract is cost-prohibitive to those who need the service the most. Similarly, the growing and diverse refugee and immigrant communities throughout Tennessee require skilled and professional interpreters, yet many individuals providing services have not received formal training and do not have the financial means to further their careers by attending training programs or pursuing professional interpreter certification. It is our goal to find a way to offset these fees to the neediest individuals and organizations in our area.

Service Categories Primary Organization Category Education / Educational Services Secondary Organization Category Public & Societal Benefit / Government and Public Administration Tertiary Organization Category Arts,Culture & Humanities / Cultural & Ethnic Awareness Areas of Service Areas Served TN Per our mandate, TFLI serves the entire state of Tennessee, but the majority of our services emanate from and are directed toward middle Tennessee. We also occasionally provide interpretation services in Kentucky and interpreters from nearby states, including Alabama and Georgia, often travel to Nashville to attend our interpreter training workshops. We are also able to serve linguistic and training needs through the virtual world of internet connectivity, thereby increasing our potential constituency many times over. Board Chair Statement The official goals of the Tennessee Foreign Language Institute can be found in the legislative mandate in the TCA: - Coordination and provision of foreign language skills needed by state government for purposes of industrial recruitment, tourist development or any other state purpose; - Original research into the most effective methods of foreign language instruction and the dissemination of such knowledge; - Improvement of the language skills and teaching methods of foreign language instructors at all levels in the schools, colleges and universities of Tennessee; and - Coordination and provision of foreign language instruction to the citizens of Tennessee." Key to our growth is the distinction that we are not limited to the above goals, and we endeavor to provide: - Superior language instruction in English to serve the newest residents of the state of Tennessee; Quality translation and interpretation services to state government, the business community, and the citizens of Tennessee; - Professional development, education, and training of interpreters and translators in the legal, medical, technical and commercial fields; - Professional development of instructors of all languages, and - Cultural awareness programs. We fully support Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. CEO Statement The Tennessee Foreign Language Institute is one of the best-kept secrets in state government. Being good stewards of the public trust, we try to balance our need to promote our services with the service that we actually provide. We are unique in that we have a supporting 501(c) 3 (The TFLI Fund, Inc.) which was created with the thought in mind that state funding may not always be present for TFLI. The Fund grants to TFLI a formulized amount annually, after allocating an amount to ensure growth to its base. These funds are used to supplement programs or build infrastructure. We have promoted children's language camps, have used these funds for professional development and have made technological upgrades. TFLI has managed to make the most of its state appropriation each year, an amount which comprises approximately 20% of the operating budget. The remaining budget is comprised of fees collected, grants and other donations. We are deeply grateful to the TFLI Fund for its support and cooperation to promote TFLI through annual events such as the International Winetasting and the Senator Douglas Henry Horizon Award. We are also indebted to Mr. Wallace Rasmussen for his endowing of the scholarship program that bears his name. We are able to bring the joy of language learning to so many through his personal generosity. Still, none of the wonderful programs and services we provide would be realized without the dedication of the staff of TFLI, a group of individuals with diverse cultural experiences and linguistic backgrounds who are firmly committed to the mission of TFLI. They are not motivated by financial remuneration, but by their dedication to foreign languages and cultures, and the important roles they play in bridging linguistic and cultural gaps in our community. 3

Interpretation and Translation Services Description Serving the medical, legal and corporate communities as well as the individual with quality interpretation and translation services through our uncompromising commitment to excellence. Our vast network of professional resources allows us to offer truly competitive rates for superior services--essential for our new multicultural reality. One of the initiatives of the Interpretation & Translation Services department is to provide professional development training for interpreters and translators working throughout Tennessee, including the TN State Certified Court Interpreter Ethics and Skill Building workshop, which is required training for interpreters who wish to work in the state court system. We are also proud to offer Community Interpreter Training, which is designed for interpreters who work in a variety of settings and provides a rare training opportunity for interpreters of languages other than Spanish. TFLI is one of the few providers of this sort of training in the state. TFLI also offers 24/7 access to interpretation in over 200 language in our Interpreter by Phone service. Discounted rates are offered. Budget 750000 Category Population Served Short Term Success Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Arts, Culture & Humanities, General/Other Foreign Language & Linguistics Immigrant, Newcomers, Refugees, International, General/Unspecified TFLI's Community Interpreter Training workshop provides interpreters of languages other than Spanish an opportunity to gain new job skills and/or improve interpretation skills. One of the long-term goals of the TFLI's Interpretation & Translation Services department is to ensure that interpreters and translators working in Tennessee provide services on par with professional ethics and standards of practices outlined by professional trade organizations such as the American Translator's Association (ATA), the National Association of Judiciary Interpreters and Translators (NAJIT) and the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC). As the immigrant and refugee populations in Tennessee grow, the demand for skilled professional interpreters increases. Many interpreters serving these segments of our community have little or no formal traininig in professional interpretation and translation, resulting in sub-par services that can affect the safety and well-being of the people they interpret for and the English-speaking service providers alike. Training opportunities for interpreters of languages other than Spanish are limited and cost-prohibitive when available. TFLI aims to provide high-quality, affordable training for interpeters that furthers their professional development and improves the quality of interpretation services provided to the people of Tennessee. The success of this TFLI program is monitored by the Director of Interpretation & Translation Services. Students taking the workshop take short tests prior to attending the training workshop to assess their knowledge of professional ethics and standards of practice. The students are given tests at the end of the workshop to assess their knowledge and understanding of the training material. Once the students have completed the Community Interpreter Training, TFLI will solicit performance evaluations from the clients they interpret for, which will assess their level of professionalism and the quality of services they provided. Finally, TFLI solicits feedback from the students themselves on the content and format of the Community Interpreter Training workshop. 5

Examples of Program Success The Community Interpreter Training program was last offered resulted in the training of 46 interpreters of 12 different languages. 46% of students who attended the workshop had never received any formal training, yet 52% were already working as interpreters for TFLI and other agencies in middle Tennessee. After completing the training, these interpreters provided services in 7 counties across middle Tennessee, including Davidson, Montgomery, Moore, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson counties. The clients served by these trained interpreters included healthcare organizations, insurance companies, three school districts, two county courts, five law firms, federal and state agencies, non-profit organizations and private companies. 6

Certificate Program for Teachers of ESL Description This 150-hour training course is designed as an introduction to teaching English for those who are considering teaching English in either the U.S. or overseas. The course provides trainees with a foundation to plan and prepare solid and effective language lessons for adult speakers of languages other than English. Along with the insightful information from the core text, the course draws from various supplementary textbooks, language journals, and helpful Web sites in order to provide trainees with current teaching methodologies, recent developments in teaching techniques, and up-to-date materials and activities that reflect current ESL issues. There is an emphasis on skills development and practical activities, ideas and techniques rather than on theory or academics. Essentially, trainees are doing and teaching rather than simply listening to a lecture on how to teach. The course combines training with community. At the end of the 150-hour training, student TESL teachers give affordable instruction to non-native adult speakers in Nashville's community. The training program has served thousands of adults in local community centers, schools and institutes, as well as parents of children attending public schools. TESL graduates are employed locally in private schools, community centers, community colleges, and language institutes. Many graduates have become ESL teachers in other states and in other countries. Population Served Adults,, There are five distinct components to our course: 1. Orientation 2. Observations 3. Pre-Class Readings and Tasks 4. In-Class Training 5. Teaching Practicum with ESL students Each individual component plays an important role in a trainee s success in this course. Each component draws and builds on the previous one. The end result will be a solid foundation of knowledge and practical application in the area of language teaching. 7

Short Term Success Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Success is measured by the number of registered students compared to graduates. In other words, most people who enroll in the course are able to obtain a certificate; completion is defined as fulfilling the requirements to receive a 135-hour TESL Certificate from TFLI. Moreover, success is measured by the number of trainees who obtain employment either locally or internationally upon completion of the program. Specifically our outcomes are focused on enabling our TESL candidates to: develop an awareness and better understanding of the English language gain knowledge of current methodologies and teaching techniques, and an ability to effectively apply such knowledge gain a solid understanding of English language learning in a variety of educational contexts become confident in applying the principles and practice of effective teaching in adult, young learners, conversational English, and specialty courses become familiar with effective resources and materials for teaching, testing, and reference design and effectively use their own language teaching materials master the essentials of second language acquisition, classroom management, lesson planning, principles of communicative teaching, and fundamentals of English grammar understand the importance of developing as professionals in the field of English language teaching TFLI has the mission to serve the public sector and to provide quality and affordable education to residents of the Tennessee community regardless of age, background or socioeconomic status. The goal of this program is to supply professional ESL instructors to organizations providing ESL education for adult learners. We define our long-term success in terms of continuing to fulfill our mission to provide exceptional teacher training and professional development for Nashville, Davidson County and three Grand Divisions of Tennessee. This program is monitored internally by the TFLI Director of the ESL/TESL Department. After each training course, the main trainers engage in a specific post feedback session to discus the strengths, weaknesses and changes to the course structure and content. Much of the qualitative date is based on the trainers own experience and observation as well as the evaluation forms submitted by the trainee candidates. Changes are made to the program when needed. A trainee s performance is monitored from the beginning to end of the program with a number of graded assignments, graded quizzes, graded lesson plans, graded presentations and an graded observed practicum. A trainee s final grade is based on a 500 point total. Trainees are awarded a certificate if grades and performance have met the requirements. 8

Examples of Program Success Our TESL Classes have increased in frequency from two programs per year to four programs per year. Courses are typically full with a waiting list. Graduates of our program are sought after by local employers and providers. Additionally, from 2000, graduates of this program have been employed by numerous local and international organizations. Some of them include: English Language Centers Metro Adult ESL Metro Refugee ESL Nashville Adult Literacy Council (NALC) Nashville State Community College Somali Community Center of Nashville Sudanese Community Center Progreso Hispanic Community Center Pro Lingua (Nashville) Tennessee Foreign Language Institute (TFLI) Woodbine Community Center Volunteer State Community College Vanderbilt ELS JET Programs, Japan U.S. Peace Corps, El Salvador, Georgia, Paraguay Caledonian School, Czech Republic Kyungpook National University, South Korea Others include, but are not limited to, institutes in: Costa Rica, Germany, Mexico, Russia, Spain and Thailand ESL to Go Description ESL to Go, a program of TFLI s ESL department, is an innovative approach to making ESL classes accessible to refugees. Newcomers across Nashville have struggled to attend ESL classes due to a lack of transportation. In an effort to overcome this barrier, TFLI developed the nation s first mobile ESL classroom. The 34 truck travels to select apartment complexes where TESL-certified instructors hold classes at a variety of levels at no cost to the students. Beyond offering English classes, the space has been used for health screenings, financial literacy workshops, and SNAP outreach office hours. Since ESL to Go was launched in April, 2012, our program has served over 200 recently arrived refugees.
