Programme

At MLA, our English language classes are designed to enhance communication skills through engaging topics and interactive tasks tailored for young learners. With a focus on real-life communication, interaction, and language production, our courses place students at the heart of the learning experience.
Our innovative Task-Based Learning approach empowers students to use English authentically, and it can be summarised in the expression ‘get it right in the end’. The initial stimulus of the task gives students the opportunity for purposeful use of the English language. By blending relevant tasks with stimulating topics, we help students build confidence and fluency as they communicate naturally in English.

MLA Language Path

Free 5-Month online Pre-Departure Language Course with Live teachers

A free "General English" or “Cambridge Exams Preparation” course included in the study vacation package at no additional cost for those who enrol early. The programme takes place online through webinars with live teachers in interactive classes. The main goal of the English course is to equip students with tools for independent communication in the English language. Available for all levels: from elementary to advanced. Learn with MLA and discover how fun it is to speak English.

Online Pre-Arrival Test

Students take the online adaptative placement test before departure. Once they arrive at their destination, they start learning right away. The overall test result reflects each student’s English proficiency and is used for class placement. In addition, our portal allows students to upload their EFL certificates to confirm their level before departure.

MLA TASKtime eBooks

Our TASKtime eBooks have been developed according to young learners’ areas of interest, common topics available in language teaching and our commitment to environmental sustainability through our “bring your own device” programme.

MLA language courses follow an integrated language skills syllabus with specific outcomes for each level. Teachers follow an interactive method using materials designed and implemented by MLA to make learning easier and lessons more interesting, engaging, and enjoyable.

MLA Student Portfolio

At the end of the course, students will receive a customised Student Portfolio with all the information from their MLA course. This report includes a company background, an attendance summary, daily record of work including day by day topics, tasks completed and material used. They will also receive a comprehensive End of Course Report with feedback on detailed evaluation on four critical areas of English learning. We also include links and suggestions for the student to continue their learning journey at home.

Certificate

Each student will receive a personalised certificate with the level achieved in line with CEFR (Common European Framework), ranging from Beginner (A1) to Advanced (C1). Students will receive both a hard copy at the centre, and an electronic certificate. These certificates bare the logos of our regional accreditations signalling the highest quality standards of our MLA tuition programme.

Recognised examinations

In some of our summer centres, for an additional fee, our students will have the possibility of sitting a Cambridge Exam to certify their level. Choosing to take Cambridge exams directly at MLA centres offers an unparalleled opportunity in the educational landscape. These certificates are not only a seal of language proficiency but also a crucial launchpad for the future.
