Homestay Study Holidays (mid-June to end September 2012) at The English Experience English Language School
The Study Holiday courses are available for students of all levels. They encourage English communication in and out of the classroom by covering a range of relevant topics. These topics reflect the interests, lives and experiences of young learners by incorporating film, music and mini-projects to provide a fun context for learning. The teachers use a more communicative approach in their lessons with the aim of task completion and language development. Classes are multi-lingual and students interact in pairs and small groups as well as completing street surveys and questionnaires. Lessons are designed to maximise opportunities for negotiation and information sharing in a student-centred environment.
