The emphasis at m.l.a. is on small class sizes thereby offering a high quality learning environment. The average number of students per class is 7. There will not be more than 10 students in each class and classroom.

From day one, we make sure that English is the only spoken language throughout the whole course - not only inside but also outside the classroom.

All lessons are taught by native and highly qualified English teachers who all hold a minimum certificate of Teaching English as a Second language (TEFL - Teaching English as a foreign language). The English spoken in Kilkenny is accent-free and very easy to understand.

Lessons take place in modern classrooms in a personal and relaxed atmosphere. All teaching material is up-to-date and free of charge. All our classrooms are equipped with fast Internet computers, interactive whiteboards and a small students´ library with a variety of books and Audio CDs.

There are 20 lessons per week. The duration of each lesson is 40 minutes.

English lessons in our language school take place in the morning. Lessons begin at 9.30 a.m. and end at 13.00 p.m. The first class in the morning is usually given to grammar. The second class is normally devoted to improving students' oral and reading skills. Debates and discussions about interesting topics are encouraged by m.l.a. and occur frequently.
