Maximum class size: 16 students
Language teaching: 5.5 hours per day
Levels: All
Non-residential: £595 p/w

This course increases English comprehension and
fluency through everyday conversation. Each week
is designed around a different theme, for instance
Technology and Innovation, or Art and Culture. In class,
learners take part in a variety of fun yet challenging
activities focusing on the interactions with native
English speakers to develop and test their skills. Each
lesson ends with a review in which the class considers
the linguistic learning opportunities from the day.
An excursion every weekday in London enhances
understanding of the theme and consolidates language
learning.

Confidence in speaking
Learners’ independence will grow as they gain
confidence in the English language and in their
knowledge of London. In addition, they develop critical
thinking skills by learning how to problem solve and
research and analyse new information.
