MLI Academic Programme Here at MLI we have a dynamic approach to ‘TEENching’. Our methodology is exciting, empowering and enjoyable. MLI’s educational philosophy is based upon the idea that learning in the summer course setting should break from the normal classroom routine and be FUN. We want our students to learn to communicate MLI students and teacher in class effectively in English with confidence and eagerness. Levels: Beginner to Advanced, After sitting a placement test on arrival, students according to the CEFR Framework are placed in classes according to their level and Class size: Max 15 students age. Students study 15 hours of English per week, Morning lessons are usually from 3 hours per day Monday to Friday (unless otherwise 9am to 12.30pm arranged).
