The Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (IALF) is the leading language training organisation in Indonesia. Established by the governments of Indonesia and Australia, the IALF is a non-profit organisation committed to providing high quality education and training services throughout Indonesia and the Asia Pacific region.

The main activity of the IALF is the teaching of languages: English and Bahasa Indonesia. The English courses are for those who need to improve their English language skills for occupational, migration or study purposes. A range of English courses for individuals and groups is run at each of the IALF centres in Jakarta, Surabaya and Denpasar, Bali.

The courses in Bahasa Indonesia are for expatriates living in Indonesia as well as for students and teachers of Indonesian who wish to travel to Indonesia to study the language and culture. The Bahasa Indonesia program consists of intensive and specialised courses at IALF Bali, IALF Jakarta and IALF Surabaya as well as an evening program of courses at IALF Jakarta.

In addition to the teaching of English and Indonesian the three IALF centres conduct IELTS tests and preparation courses for people preparing to migrate, work or study overseas.

IALF Bali conducts internationally accredited teacher training courses, and manages two projects - the Kang Guru Indonesia project and the LAPIS-ELTIS (English Language Training for Islamic Schools) consolidation activity, supported by the Australian government through AusAID.
