Reporting and Assessment

MLS offers a full reporting and assessment service.

You or your sponsor may request weekly or monthly progress reports, depending on your course duration, which will include details of your language level.

Sample reports are available on request.

Assessment is an integral part of any programme at MLS and we will assess your progress throughout and at the end of your programme.  A summative report is available if you or your company require, which will indicate your achieved language level and (if relevant) certificate / diploma credit successes upon departure from MLS.

Tutorials

Throughout your time at MLS you will receive the support not only of your teachers and the client services staff but also a tutor.  Your tutor will meet with you at least once a term to discuss your academic progress and will be available throughout your course to provide guidance in your studies.

Language Laboratory

As a full time MLS student, you will have access to MLS’ state of the art Sanako Language Laboratory.  This is a digital learning centre giving you superb independent learning opportunities using the wide range of digital resources on offer at MLS.  Each afternoon a senior MLS teacher will be available to assist you in using the digital equipment and also to offer further advice and guidance with your language learning.

Additional training

Throughout the year, MLS offers free further language training to its students – events such as conversation clubs, film clubs, writing support sessions, pronunciation classes.  You will need to keep an eye on our notice boards to find out what is happening each week.
