Academics

LEVELS Five levels are available at Royal Russell from A2 (Pre-Intermediate) to C2 (Proficiency). Complete Beginners and Beginners are not accepted on this course. ENGLISH FOR THE FUTURE The morning English for the Future sessions develop the students’ English language proficiency across the four skills with a particular focus on the global problems we are facing nowadays. As part of the programme, students will develop their presentation skills by watching TED Talks and preparing their own talks as well as broadening their vocabulary related to sustainability and global issues. FUTURE THINKING These sessions prepare students for ‘Friday for the Future’ debates between two classes. Through a series of practical workshops on internet research and critical thinking, students will gather sufficient information on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and analyse it in order to discuss and offer practical solutions to global problems. PROJECT FOR THE FUTURE Over the course of a week, students will research and discuss one of the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals such as ending poverty and hunger, protecting the planet, promoting and fostering peace, achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. Then they will present their conclusions by way of writing a blog entry or a news story, conducting a survey and analysing its findings or presenting a sketch or performance. DAY PROGRAMMES Both of our residential Royal Russell courses are also available as Day Programmes. With easy access from Central & South London, families can enjoy educational holidays in the UK’s capital city. Students will attend from Monday to Friday, joining English lessons, activities and midweek excursions. To find out more, please visit page 14.
