The Company

The ambitious program of English Online is about to be launched. However we felt that we need an academic body to run research based programs. Thus the idea of starting the Institute of Cognitive Studies and Linguistics was formed.It is launched as a unit of Propelurs Consulting So that we can concentrate on academic programs unencumbered by corporate responsibilities.
We intend to use the best resources available in languages in the development and implementation of programs. We also want to make available many of the programs to our users free of charge.
