What is MEC?

The Macmillan English Campus (MEC) is an online practice environment for learners of English as a foreign language.

The concept behind the Macmillan English Campus is that language learning can be greatly enhanced by an effective combination of face-to-face teaching and online support materials.

It is this blended learning solution that makes the Macmillan English Campus unique. It ensures that MEC users enjoy the best of both worlds: they continue to receive face-to-face tuition and contact with their teachers whilst remaining free to study online within a controlled learning environment.
