Vacation Course (June, July and August)

The Vacation Course consists of 20 lessons per week of General English language lessons.

Classes

Your son/daughter will study in a lively international atmosphere with others whose levels of English are similar. Your son/daughter will be taught by a team of two or three teachers, who encourage participation and interaction between members of the group – and English will be the only language used!

Lessons

Your son/daughter will receive a balanced programme which includes grammar, skills development, and vocabulary development. The classes will be learner-centred. This means that students will take an active part in the classes and will be expected to speak with and listen to fellow students in pairs or small groups.

Homework

Homework forms an integral part of the course.

Progress

Lessons will include a variety of activities including games, quizzes, pair and group work, which will enable the teacher to assess your son/daughter’s performance on a weekly basis. If your son/daughter’s class reaches the end of a level, a longer test will be given to see if your son/daughter is ready to progress onto the next level.

Excursions, Sports and Leisure Activities

A variety of excursions, sports and leisure activities are a key part of this programme. The excursions and activities are carefully chosen to support continuous English language development and to encourage students to practise their English skills outside of the classroom with other international students.
