History

The first Leadership and English Language Camp (LELaC) was held in 2010 in Universiti Sains Malaysia. About 120 learners all over Malaysia attended the camp over the course of 3 days and 2 nights. The camp was planned and conducted by Professor Dr. Muhammad Kamarul Kabilan Abdullah together with his 6 TESOL students. This English Language-based programme started off with the aim to create a fund to partly sponsor the student’s international teaching practicum in Maldives.

Since then, LELaC has grown into a well known and sought after English Language-based programme within Malaysia and other countries that has the main purpose in helping the learners to learn and to discover their English talents in a fun, challenging and enjoyable approach.

Through LELaC, the learners can discover their English talents by involving themselves with various activities that will challenge the learners both physically and mentally. As for the activities, the participants of this camp will experience the activities in a summer camp vibe. The activities will be conducted in both indoor and outdoor.

The Leadership and English Language Camp (LELaC) that was held on 27 November – 30 November 2014 is the first LELaC that was conducted internationally where the camp not only involve the local participant and TESOL students but it also involve the international students where they act as facilitators that help in assisting the camp as well as helping the participant to discover their English talents. This first international LELaC manage to gather a total of 172 participants that comes from all part of the country.

For this upcoming LELaC, we are targeting a bigger crowd. Due to that reason, more fun, challenging and interactive activities or should we say “Adventure” are prepared for the participants. Other than that, we also include quite a number of international facilitators that are not only fun and enjoyable person but they also has different background and experience in English Language that can help in assisting the discovery process.
