National Museum Field Trip "Learning English goes beyond the classroom—it’s about experiencing the wider world." Hello from Genius Language Centre (GLC)! The highly anticipated 1st Session of our Summer Break Special Program has officially kicked off! Whenever the first week of a vacation program begins, I can't help but feel a flutter of excitement. Meeting new faces, reuniting with familiar ones, and imagining how much our students will grow over the break always fills me with anticipation. Today, we kicked things off with a very special field trip to the National Museum of Malaysia (Museum Negara). While classroom learning is undoubtedly important, I firmly believe that the lessons children learn through real-world, hands-on experiences stick with them much longer.

  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. We believe English should not be taught merely as an academic subject.

Every day, they are required t...
