MLA (Move Language Ahead) is an industry leader in providing safe, educational, and cultural holidays to students from around the world. Each year thousands of students travel with MLA as part of our short-term English as a foreign language (EFL) programmes. Along with our proprietary EFL curriculum, we also provide our students with great excursions featuring some of the most popular historical and tourist destinations across the globe. 

At MLA, we would like to start our summer school onboarding process by launching an initiative to provide PGCE students with TEFL training and hands-on experience in the EFL world as an additional part of your teaching programme.
