Welcome to MILI's English Mini-Camp
If you are a returning student, you will just have as much fun as you did on your last camp with us.
If you are new to MILI, then welcome and have fun !
Our goal is to get you up to speed speaking and make sure you progress a lot by the end of this week. Your objective during this camp is to practice your oral expression so you need to talk, talk and talk and ask as many questions as possible. NO question is a bad or stupid question. Thus, don't hesitate to ask your professor if in doubt.
Things to keep in mind for this class: Relax and have fun. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. We are all here to learn together. Do your homework every day. This is key to the success of this program. The work does not stop once you finish your class at MILI. In order to improve your English, you need to spend some time outside of the classroom listening, reading and conversing in the language. The internet and podcasts are an excellent source of information in English. Don't be afraid of technology. The iPads, blogs and other social media tools we use in class are excellent tools that will help you accelerate your learning process...and they are tons of fun too! Ask lots of questions during and after class. Your teacher is there to help you at all times. If you like your experience at MILI, don't forget to tell all your friends about us!
Advice: Listen to at least 5-10 minutes of NPR (US), BBC (UK) and/or ABC (Australia) and try to remember new terms used by the broadcasters. Bring them with you and we can discuss them in class. BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/. To the right of the main page, you will see a section labeled "Watch and Listen) where you can listen and watch the latest news. Try both if possible NPR: http://www.npr.org/ Go to the menu section across the page labeled "Hourly News" and listen to the summary. ABC: http://www.abc.net.au/news/abcnews24/news-in-90-seconds/ a short summary of the news by the main media provider in Australia.
Your teacher.
