Hello knowledge seekers!
I used to work for ELS Language Centres, arguably one of the best tertiary English language Education provider in Malaysia. I would strongly recommend ELS especially for their Certified Intensive English Programmes. They have branches in KL, Bukit Bintang, Subang Jaya, and Petaling Jaya. But bear in mind that this course is conducted full time, 5 hours 5 days a week for a month (1 level). To get IELTS 5.5 / 6.0 you would need to complete perhaps level 5/6. The teachers are good but depend on which center you go to. I would recommend PJ and KL for the best trainers but it is usually crowded and can be hard to get in.Subang Jaya has smaller student number in a class and good teachers as well. ELS also has a part-time course which runs twice a week for about 2 hours per session. I don't recommend it for College students as it focuses mainly on Communication Skills and not writing skills which you need more for writing assignments and such. British Council is a great place to study! A lot of my colleagues have been recruited away from ELS (especially after I trained them!!! A third option is to look at your own private colleges. All colleges have their own language centres which specialize in teaching English as a second language (ESL) to local and foreign students - its a great money making tool for these unis. My best recommendation is to get a personal tutor. In most cases, this is the most effective way for serious students. A classroom environment might be more fun and you get to meet a lot of people, but one-on-one tutorship usually gives the best results. A tutor can identify your main weakness and target those areas whereas a classroom teacher has to manage the expectations of the entire class. Furthermore, a personal tutor would charge you a far more reasonable amount compared to Language Centres. Hope this helps! PM me if you have specific questions! Happy to help |

Well, am i there yet? Not really, still working on it, but the good thing is i can sure contribute to this topic discussion. so is there any english course or language center that is cheap, comfortable......n effective..? thanks..BTW im female....n curently waiting for my SPM result... British Council has a big name, but costly because of their name. Well, being a girl I would buy a branded bag but do i need to pay premium price for "branded" English (well i do like the sofas in their centre, so comfortable)? Also, their teaching is too casual/relax. I didn't feel solid each day walking out of the classroom. I just didn't like that feeling. Erican is another centre i studied at (just near by British Council). The environment there was more serious and they are good at teaching me grammar and writing. The full-time course was quite tough, I was shocked by the amount of work i have to do at home. almost everyday I have essay writing practice, pre-reading activity, and also have to prepare for presentation. I know not everyone like it, some of my classmate didn't like it at all, but hehe... they were known as the lazy ones. There were a few matsaleh and local teachers. We didn't have matsaleh teacher the whole day, but I remembered i would have matsaleh teachers for at least 1 to 2 hours per day teaching speaking and listening classes, local teachers usually teaches grammar and writing. Oh oh... another thing you should consider is whether the teachers are helpful or not. This is very important. Some of the teachers there are very hardworking. They actually stayed back after class to give me extra help on the things i didn't understand. That was really helpful. Cambridge Language Centre (aka Titian Jaya), nothing to say about them, this is a con company anyway (for some reason they have changed their name a few times, heard they got sued by University of Cambridge because of stealing the name "Cambridge" without authorization) and their buffet style (all you can learn) learning system doesn't work. Waste of money and time. As you know buffet stuff are usually low quality. Private tuition was ok, quite effective as well, costly for sure (my mom didn't like it), but very boring (i didn't like it), "i stared at you, you stared at me" (a cantonese song). There are more, but church day tomorrow, got to sleep now. Cheers! |

Whereby ELS and Erican is giving around 100 hours of lesson per month. |
