Information About the Courses


General English courses are taught using the “Interchange” student books and workbooks from the Cambridge University Press.
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.


In order to move on to the next level, students are required to achieve a minimum grade of 70% on their final examination.


Classes are given for two hours daily, five days a week, to ensure our students constant practice and exposure to the English language. Students are allowed a maximum of 5 excused absences only.

 

 

MLC Courses are offered to:

 

• Adults

• Teens and Children

• Corporations

 

 

Levels 1-10


There are 10 levels in the General English Programs, from Low Beginning to High Advanced. Average class size is 8-10 (maximum is 15). In July and August, usual class size is 12-15 (maximum is 20).


Each lesson lasts for 50 minutes. Our placement test will determine your exact level, so you don’t have to fret about whether or not you are being accepted for the right level, commensurate with your actual and potential capabilities, or feel out of place among  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  the latest methods to make sure that you are exposed to proper English and trained to improve mastery over 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 aural  sensitivity for English. Speaking skills  constitute a focal point  throughout the course, in view of the fact that speaking is the greatest practical skill needed by students. Our veteran teachers serve as good models for students to copy and to converse with to sharpen their skills. 


As any experienced language learner or instructor knows, it is definitely common knowledege to say that "practice makes perfect" when it comes to  language learning. For this reason, classes are given for two hours daily, five days a week,  to ensure our students' constant practice and exposure to proper English.
