CLASSIC COURSE OVERVIEW
Our summer English courses are designed to give students the opportunity to practise their English in a friendly, multicultural environment. Students are actively encouraged to practise their English with students from other nationalities, both in class and outside. We concentrate on raising their confidence and fluency, and bringing out the English they already know, but can’t yet use.
About our courses:
- Five levels from Elementary to Advanced
- All students are tested on arrival to grade their spoken and written English to place them in the class of the correct level
- 15 hours of teaching per week from qualified teachers including project work to allow them to use their English creatively and learn more about British culture and history
- A certificate on completion of their course
- Full activity programme including 5 afternoon activities and 7 evening activities
- One half day excursion to local towns and cities
- One full day excursion to more prominent towns and cities further away
The London Experience includes all the above plus three afternoons and one evening into the heart of London each week.
