Course description

Learning through projects is particularly motivating for young learners and helps them remember the language that they learn.Working in groups, students use English to produce something tangible like a short film, a presentation, a magazine or a short story.

Elective sessions are taught by experienced activity leaders and develop students’ skills in their chosen activities in English.Students practice their English, while focused on an activity, which leads to a natural and fluent use of the language. Students learn about British life and culture through study tours to historic UK destinations such as London, Oxford, Cambridge and Stratford-upon-Avon.

Study tours are learning opportunities outside the classroom and are part of the academic programme. Students are prepared for the study tour in class, given a task to do on the trip and have a feedback lesson afterwards.

After lessons, electives, and a delicious dinner, students have an evening event – more chance for your child to learn and practice English. Examples of evening events include wacky races, treasure hunts and film nights.
