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 effectively in English with confidence and eagerness. www.mli-group.com
MLI Social Programme The MLI Social Programme is another important part of the MLI course. The activities and excursions included complement the academic programme and encourage the students to mix together and continue to improve their English. Designed with juniors and teenagers in mind, we choose activities and excursions that will enhance the student experience, help them learn about and experience local culture, maximise their English skills, but also have FUN! There are activities running on and off-site almost every afternoon and evening. We schedule a range of different options so there is something for everyone – sports, scavenger hunt, fashion show, disco, quiz night etc – as well as local cultural visits. 5
