Summer English Courses

1) Summer Courses
Levels 1 – 12

Every year, the Summer Language Club is initiated at MLC in the months of June and July with the aim of strengthening students’ language capacity and skills to prepare them for the new school year. This club also aims at maintaining students’ levels in English through practice with approximately 168 hours of intensive classes directed at reading, writing, speaking and listening. Curricula are based on the American Cambridge material and methods and are presented by a carefully selected qualified teaching staff. School students are expected to take a placement test first with 70% being considered as the minimum passing mark.

The Summer Club for Kids is affordable, accessible, fun and educational.

Features include:

– A free course in conversation with native speakers.

– 4 hours of English practice daily

– Extracurricular activities and trips

– Discount for siblings

– Availability of transport in the form of buses.

– An international certification from the University of Michigan upon the completion of level 8 where the student can

qualify for the ECCE examination equivalent to the B2 level in the CEFR.

If you’re looking to establish, strengthen, or even just refresh your English skills, then you’re looking for MLC’s General English courses. MLC offers 12 levels of study for candidates looking for help with their English. Our placement test will determine your exact level, so you don’t have to fret about being in over your head or out of place among the other students.

How are classes conducted?

Our English classes are carried out in a comfortable, relaxed environment, so that you can learn at ease. A highly qualified teacher will guide you through each course, using all the latest methods to make sure that you are exposed to all of the four key language skills during every session. Students practice reading and writing skills at their level of competency. Listening exercises are conducted every lesson through audio CDs, in order to develop your ear for English. Speaking skills are a central focus throughout the course, given that speaking is the greatest practical use of language. Our teachers aid the students in using as much English as they learn. As any experienced language learner or instructor knows, it is definitely practice that makes perfect when it comes to learning a language. For that reason, classes are given for two hours daily, five days a week – to ensure our students constant practice and exposure to the English language.

Material

General English courses are taught using the “Interchange” student books and workbooks from the Cambridge University Press. Each book is packed full of exercises covering real-world topics incorporating vocabulary, grammar, writing, reading comprehension, listening, speaking and pronunciation skills. Along with the book and workbook, you will also receive a corresponding CD-ROM, so that you can further practice your skills and enhance your English-learning experience beyond the classroom.

Assessment

In order to keep track of the students’ progress, frequent check-ups on language level are conducted throughout the course. Quizzes, mid-terms, and final examinations are given in all courses, so that the instructor can follow your progress and note any impediments in your language development.
