Academics This carefully crafted programme, with 20 hours of lessons per week, consists of English Skills, Enrichment and Research Projects. Lessons improve students’ general language competencies (including grammar and vocabulary) while placing particular emphasis on communication, fluency and building confidence in the speaker. ENGLISH LEVELS & CLASSES
ENRICHMENT During these sessions, students will further enrich their language skills by deepening their cultural understanding of the places they visit during excursions, using real-world materials such as leaflets, word searches, adverts and articles to develop their productive and receptive English skills pre- and post-excursions. RESEARCH PROJECT Throughout the course of the week, students do research around a weekly theme or topic of interest which they then present in an agreed way, such as a presentation, performance, song, product pitch or an art exhibition of their work. The aim of Research Project lessons is to develop students team and collaboration skills as well as improve their speaking and interpersonal skills. There is a fun, competitive element to Research Projects and every student in the winning class, judged by the Academic Manager or Centre Director, is recognised for their contribution and given a small prize.
