LEVELS Five levels are available at Brighton from A2 (Pre-Intermediate) to C2 (Proficiency). 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. 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 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. These sessions aim to develop not only students’ speaking and communication skills but also their social and interpersonal skills, as well as broaden their perspectives on life in the future. This innovative study programme, with 20 hours of lessons per week, is specially designed for older teenagers who want to discuss the greatest global challenges as leaders of the future and take action to transform our world.
