Co-Curricular Activities

At MLC, we believe that English language learning cannot be limited to the classroom, but that it must be woven into the daily lives of our students. MLC students have a wide variety of opportunities on a daily and weekly basis to practice their English with American volunteers and with fellow students through our co-curricular activities.

Conversation Hour
Students take part in group conversations with MLC Staff and native English speaking volunteers. Students can ask questions, learn new phrases, and practice their English in this casual and fun group setting.

English Seminar
Once a week, an MLC instructor offers a free seminar on targeted topics such as Pronunciation or Vocabulary.

Lunchhour Activities
MLC offers weekly lunchhour activities such as crafts, games, and film discussions to help students practice conversation and share cultural experiences.

Conversation Partner
MLC pairs students with native English speaking volunteers in the Ann Arbor area. This is a great opportunity for students to build a relationship with a resident of Ann Arbor and enhance their English speaking abilities.

Pronunciation Lab
Lower level students work 1:1  weekly with MLC instructors to fine tune pronunciation skills.

Service Projects
MLC regularly organizes community service projects for students to engage with and give back to the local community, such as assembling lunch bags for a local free health clinic, or visiting nursing homes to play games with residents.

Field Trips
Students are introduced to local culture and experiences through off-campus field trips such as apple orchards, museum trips, ice skating, and bowling.
