Lancing
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. LEVELS & CLASSES Five levels are available from A2 (Pre-Intermediate) to C2 (Proficiency). Complete Beginners and Beginners are not accepted at Lancing. ENGLISH SKILLS These lessons are designed to improve students’ general language skills, extend their vocabulary and better their understanding of grammar, to improve accuracy and confidence when producing spoken and written English.
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 Working in groups, students complete daily research tasks based around a weekly theme or topic of interest. They then present their findings/conclusions by way of a sketch, performance, debate or news story, developing not just their speaking and communication skills but also their social 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.
