  A Child Who Can Talk About What They Read Has Truly Read the Book When I speak with parents, I often hear the same question: "My child reads a lot of English books. Why isn't their English improving as much as I expected?" This question actually highlights one of the most important aspects of English education. Many parents place great importance on reading English books. I do too. Reading is undoubtedly one of the most important foundations of language learning. However, there is something worth thinking about. Is the goal simply to read a large number of books? Or is the goal to understand what we read and be able to express our thoughts about it?

"Who was the main character?" "What was your favourite part?" Surprisingly, many children struggle to answer. Som...

  Why GLC Summer Holiday English Camp Focuses on the International School Learning Approach During the school holidays, many parents ask the same question: "How can my child improve their English significantly during the break?" Others wonder: Is there a more effective way to learn English than simply doing worksheets? How can my child enjoy learning English? What skills are needed to succeed in an international school environment? At GLC Language Centre, our Summer Holiday English Camp was designed to answer these questions.

Every day, they are required t...

A Look Inside Real Classroom Practices in Malaysian International Schools When many parents think about international schools, one image often comes to mind: "Students confidently presenting in English in front of the class." In fact, if you visit international schools in Malaysia, you will frequently see students presenting their ideas, participating in discussions, and collaborating with classmates on various projects. In British curriculum schools such as Garden International School (GIS), Alice Smith School, and the British School of Kuala Lumpur (BSKL), as well as American curriculum schools like the International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) and Mont'Kiara International School (MKIS), debate and presentation activities are not occasional events. They are a regular part of everyday learning. So what topics do students discuss? How do they prepare presentations? And what helps them achieve high scores in these activities? Let's take a closer look. International S...

  ESL Education Comparison Infographic and Classroom Scene A 2026 Guide to British vs American International School ESL Programs One of the biggest concerns parents have when considering an international school is English ability. “My child’s English is still weak. Will they be able to follow the classes?” “What exactly happens in ESL classes?” In many international schools in Malaysia, ESL (English as a Second Language) or EAL (English as an Additional Language) programs are designed to help non-native English-speaking students adapt successfully to school life. However, not all ESL programs are the same. British international schools and American international schools often approach ESL in very different ways. Today, let’s take a closer look at how ESL classes are conducted in 2026, based on the actual teaching styles commonly found in international schools. What Is ESL? ESL is not simply an English grammar class. The main goal of an international school ESL program is...
