Did you manage to join Keretapi Sarong 2025 last Saturday?

From trains to traditions, the Keretapi Sarong movement reminds us that culture is a living, breathing story and it is carried not just in fabric, but also in the words, songs, and languages we share. 🌺

At ILTI, we believe language is the bridge that lets us truly celebrate and connect with Malaysia’s rich diversity. After all, what’s culture without the words to express it?

Read our latest blog to see how heritage and language go hand in hand — and why learning English can make every journey even more meaningful.

“Malala’s journey is not just a tale of survival but a call to action. It shows that one person’s voice can spark a global movement.”
Inspiring, isn’t it? Read the full message by our Director of Schools, Ms Evelyn, and see how she connects this to the power of education here at ILTI.

From expanding vocabulary to making new friends, our Korean student from Movers class, Hanbyeol Jun, shows us how books can open doors to confidence and knowledge. Take a peek into our student’s learning journey in this week’s newsletter!

“So, the next time we are faced with chaos, remember this: we always have the choice to break chaos down into smaller, more manageable chaos.”
Sounds pretty interesting, right? Check the the full piece of advice by our Director of Schools, Ms Evelyn, now!

From renewable energy to renewed confidence, that’s our PET student, Wong Yi Lin for you! Yi Lin turned her Biogas project into a stage for better speaking and reading skills. Catch the full story in this week’s newsletter!

From Meghan Markle’s podcast to everyday classrooms, The Power of Yet reminds us that growth is a journey. At ILTI, we believe the same applies to language learning, where mistakes aren’t setbacks, they’re stepping stones. 🌱

So, the next time you say, “I can’t write fluently” or “I’m not confident speaking English,” remember, it’s not that you can’t, it’s just that you’re not there yet. And with the right guidance, practice, and encouragement, you will get there.

“At our schools today, we make it our mission to teach children not only academics but also life skills, because we believe these two are inextricably linked.”

Just like Ms Evelyn says, every lesson at ILTI is more than academics. It’s also about building confidence and life skills. Here’s a peek at what our students were up to this week:

Starters – Our Starters students had a big week of revision where they reviewed topics from food and clothes to hobbies and the beach. With lots of practice in listening, speaking, reading and writing, they’re growing more confident and ready for their upcoming tests.

Upper PET – Our Upper PET class explored Sharing and Caring while learning conditionals. Through role plays, discussions, and writing tasks, they practised grammar and also reflected on kindness and responsibility. Find out more about their fun week in this week’s newsletter now!

“Ugh, my English is terrible.”

Sounds familiar? We’ve all been there. But here’s a truth bomb: messing up one word doesn’t mean you’re not fluent. Chances are, you’re doing better than you think, and we’re here to prove it.

Read the blog and give yourself some credit! And if you’re ready to boost that confidence even more, come learn with us at ILTI! Here, our main mission is to support your English learning journey and the people who make it possible.
