English Language Company (ELC) Malaysia is an award-winning English language school located in the vibrant heart of Kuala Lumpur. As the Malaysian campus of ELC Sydney — Australia's most awarded English school and recipient of the prestigious STM Lifetime Super Star Award – Southern Hemisphere — we bring world-class English education to Southeast Asia. ELC won the STM Star Language School Southern Hemisphere award five times between 2007 and 2013, and ELC Malaysia has been recognised as an Outstanding Language School in the ASEAN region.
Our modern, light and spacious campus sits in the bustling Bukit Bintang district, right in the centre of Kuala Lumpur's major transport, tourist, shopping and entertainment districts. We are just a 5-minute walk from several of KL's premier shopping centres, a 10-minute walk from the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, and within easy reach of KLCC Park, Chinatown, and the Central Market. Popular restaurants are on the school's doorstep, and the area offers convenient access to monorail, train, and bus stations.
Students learn in 18 bright, well-equipped classrooms within comfortable, modern premises. Our unique eat, meet and speak spaces are the perfect places to break out and practise your English. Facilities include comfortable student common rooms, chill spaces for quiet learning and reading, a student café with friendly staff, a dedicated study centre, and free WiFi throughout the school. For students studying at our UOW Malaysia Campus location, facilities include a 50,000 sq. ft. library, IT labs, discussion cubes, and multi-purpose learning spaces.
ELC is a fun school that is serious about learning. We are owned and operated by teachers, so we know what it takes to make a great school. On your first day, you will take a placement test and a spoken interview to ensure you are placed in the class that is right for you. Our teachers use a variety of approaches to present and practise language and skills in real-world contexts. Lessons are all face-to-face, but teachers use the latest digital resources to ensure that your lessons are varied, up-to-date and dynamic.
Our classrooms and learning spaces have been specifically designed to facilitate communication and comfort. You will work independently, in pairs, or collaboratively in groups depending on what suits the lesson. With small classes — maximum 20 students, with an average of 12 — you will receive the personal attention you need to make maximum progress. Every Monday you will take a short progress test to revise and assess what you have studied, and you will receive regular tutorials with your class teacher to discuss your progress.
We offer a wide range of courses to suit every learner's goals:
Our unique study system allows you to tailor your course to your individual needs and interests. Full-time day courses run from 9:30am to 4:00pm and follow a three-part structure:
You only need to choose your main course before you leave home; the rest can be chosen when you arrive. It's easy!
ELC boasts a fantastic nationality mix with students from around 20 to 40 different countries attending throughout the year, including Asia, Central Asia, North Africa, the Gulf countries, and beyond. This diverse community ensures you will speak English every day and build lifelong friendships with people from all over the world.
Outside the classroom, discover Malaysia's unique culture and breathtaking scenery. We organise regular social, cultural, and sporting activities, including weekend excursions to Langkawi, Malacca, Penang, and the Cameron Highlands. Enjoy museum visits, parties, Malaysia cultural activities, sports, outdoor adventures like river rafting and rainforest skywalks — all accompanied by ELC staff.
