School description

The Special Language Centre (SLC) was established in the year 2000 with the aim of promoting the importance and usage of languages, English, German, French, Mandarin and Malay Language in our increasingly global environment.

At SLC, teaching methods are given extreme importance and the student is our main priority. Lessons are prepared and delivered with the individual student in mind. To this end, classes are kept to a minimum number so that our instructors can give the necessary attention to our students.

Located among lush greenery in the bustling suburb of Sunway, SLC is akin to a paradise getaway in the middle of the city. Being along the main artery connecting Kuala Lumpur to Shah Alam, SLC is served by a variety of transportation modes. Among them is the KTM Komuter, one of the fastest and most convenient modes of transport in the city.

“SLC provides accommodation facilities for students who are not from the Klang Valley and desire a place to stay close by. The Suriamas Hostel is located only 10 minutes away from SLC and provides excellent accommodation convenience to students.

SLC can boast of having lecturers of the utmost quality and qualifications. Our lecturers come with years of experience in teaching, motivating, encouraging and guiding students to their ultimate achievements.

Apart from their impeccable and illustrious qualifications, what truly sets our lecturers apart is their 'heart for students'. Our lecturers have a deep concern for the success and well being of our students. This creates a bond between lecturer and student that lasts long after the students' tenure with SLC.

All International students in SLC will come under the umbrella of the International Student Office, which has been set up to look into all affairs concerning international students right from the time they arrive in Malaysia. The ISO will make sure that you are picked up at the airport promptly, look into your accommodation needs, make your visa arrangements, and all other matters to settle you in as comfortably as possible.

"The Chinese language course did not reach my expectations."

Martina Huber, student from Malaysia

The classmates where very nice and also the teacher. Sadly, there was only one Chinese teacher, who taught the Chinese Level HSK3 and HSK1. I needed to have a teacher for Level HSK6, so I did self-studying.

They also asked me to pay additionally 100€ for the placement test to find out my Chinese level. This placement test was not really a placement test because the test level was around HSK3, it did not get harder in the end, what you normally expect from a placement test.

For the money I payed for the 4 weeks, I really expected more. And yes, I compare this course with the one I did in China. Perhaps I cannot compare it with the courses in Malaysia and the courses in Malaysia are not so challenging.

The location was not so far away from my house, so it was very comfortable. Sadly we as students were not allowed to use the toilets in the SLC department but had to go to the public toilets instead. Nobody told us why. If they would have told us why, I would understand it. Perhaps it has something to do with the culture or covid etc.

The activities were fun but they were at the studying time and we had to pay for them. So we did not have class and also had to pay additionally.
