English term or phrase: language learning company
about a company that develops tools and applications for online language learning

"XXX, an innovative language learning company, made yyy profit last year"

"taalstudiebedrijf" or "-firma" sounds too much as if they do research on languages instead of 'teaching' them
"taalleerbedrijf" sounds a bit heavy, would this even be correct Dutch?

bedrijf op het gebied van online taalleermiddelen


Explanation:
een innovatief bedrijf op het gebied van online taalleermiddelen

ik weet niet of dit aangeeft wat voor bedrijf het is maar op grond van de informatie die je hebt gegeven zou dit het gebied kunnen zijn waarop het bedrijf zich beweegt

of dit een vertaling is die je zoekt is een andere vraag

Asker: Hi Barend, thanks. Your interpretation is correct, but the translation is too lengthy, I had come up with a couple translations like that too and wasn't satisfied with them. I've meanwhile found 'taalsoftwarebedrijf' to be the best (and at the same time concise) translation.

taleninstituut, aanbieder van taalcursussen


Explanation:
Taleninstituut is misschien wat ouderwets maar het is wel bondig. Ik heb zelf wel de associatie met een fysiek instituut waar je naar toe moet. Het tweede is meer beschrijvend en wat algemener.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Ineke and others, It is not an 'instituut' as this refers to a school where people go to. See my answers to the other two replies above. Thanks everybody for trying to help. Michel
