Junior Summer Programme

Junior Summer Programme

Our Junior summer programme offers English tuition in the morning
(9-1pm) and activities in the afternoon. It is designed for students aged between 12 and 16 years.

Students are assessed on their level of English on their first day and placed in a class according to their level.

Levels operate from beginners to advanced.

We also operate a mixed ability programme for smaller class groups. In class, students will improve their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Our daily programme consists of two class periods each morning
(3 hours).

We place special emphasis on oral communication and using the communicative method we encourage students to improve their oral and aural skills through discussions, drama, games, role-playing, song, music, etc.

Our small class groups make it possible for students to get the personal attention they need to help them improve their communication skills in English.

Activity programme

Our Activity programme consists of an afternoon session between 2-6 pm and an evening programme between 8-10 pm. (See weekly programme!)

Activities take place at various venues and at our own centre. Students from various nationalities are encouraged to participate through the medium of English and participation is encouraged rather than competition so that everybody can be included.

Team games are especially promoted in the afternoons to encourage team building within the whole group
