Meet Your New Friends!

DanielaAge: 14Destination: Malta

Daniela is an energetic,

sports-crazy girl from Lugano,

Switzerland, where she lives

with her parents and older sister,

Sara. She loves to spend her

days down at the beach with her

friends or family, snorkelling in

the bright blue sea. She’s super

excited about studying English

in Malta, mostly because the

island is full of beaches for her

to try. Daniela has a thirst for

adventure and loves to spend

hours exploring.

Her main goal this summer is to

make as many new friends as

possible from all over the world!

She’s proud of what her sister

accomplished by going to EC

London and Montreal, and she’s

hoping she can have the same

kind of success.

Omar Age: 10Destination: Los Angeles

Omar is a clever kid from

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and

he’s the youngest of three

brothers. Despite his age, he’s

already obsessed with all things

technological, and dreams of

being a coding genius. He’s

popular with his friends at

home, but needs to build up his

confidence to speak English and

make new friends abroad.

Omar wants to go to university

in the USA one day, so UCLA

in Los Angeles is the perfect

place for him to have his EC

experience. This is where his big

brother, Ibrahim, studied and

Omar is looking forward to doing

all the things his brother did, as

well as visiting Universal Studios

with his new friends.

AkioAge: 15Destination: Montreal

Akio is an outgoing, friendly

teenager from Osaka, Japan,

who loves animals and dreams

of becoming a vet who travels

the world helping all kinds of

animals. When he’s not playing

with the family dog or his

brother’s cat, he spends his time

practising gymnastics – he’s

been training for more than five

years, and his brother Kenta is

his biggest fan!

Akio is going to learn English in

Montreal this summer, and he’s

excited to see the world-famous

Cirque du Soleil perform in their

home city. He hopes that by

improving his English, he’ll be

able to study about different

kinds of animals and travel the

world with confidence.

AnaAge: 12Destination: Brighton

Ana is a bubbly bookworm from

São Paolo, Brazil, who loves

writing short stories and plays

in her free time. Her creativity

doesn’t stop there – she’s never

without her camera because

she’s a great photographer,

always on the lookout for that

next perfect shot. She can’t wait

to arrive in colourful Brighton

and share photos of the quirky

seaside town with her older

sister, Júlia.

Ana dreams about becoming

a famous author one day, and

wants to learn English so that

she can express herself in

more than one language. She

is excited about her summer

in Brighton and hopes she will

make loads of new friends.

Tomiris Tulegenova, 12, from Kazakhstan

“The teachers and staff are kind and helpful. The students are great. I’ve improved my English skills as well as making several friends here. I enjoyed my experience in the EC Cambridge Summer Programme!”

Elisa Brunelli, 16, from Italy

“Staying here was very nice and I’m sad to be leaving! The campus is huge and spacious and I like how the accommodation and rooms are designed, they’re nice and cosy and the beds are very comfortable. Lessons are really fun but at the same time you learn new information - they don’t let lessons get boring. All the staff members are really nice and funny, and they take health and safety very seriously.”

Learning and Life Skills Our goal is to make sure you receive the skills you need, and that you learn those skills in a way that works best for you.

We’ve done a lot of research to find out exactly what our Young Learners look for when studying abroad, and to understand how students today want to learn. Our courses are created by curriculum design specialists who make sure that you receive top-quality learning methods and resources throughout your EC experience. Your success is always our top priority, and we want to teach you the skills you need to succeed in the future, both professionally and academically.

That’s why in addition to teaching you language skills, we teach you life skills. Our research shows that students like you want and need these skills to achieve your goals and reach your fullest potential in life, education and work. Our curriculum designers and teachers make sure that your subjects are interesting, useful and relevant to the world you live in today. This year, we’re offering a unique set of Premium Programmes (see page 17), designed to set you on the path to professional and academic success.

LearningThe learning experience at EC is more than studying the grammar, vocabulary and expressions you need to pass your next test. Your teachers are dedicated to helping you use English with fluency and confidence. You will receive the attention you need and be encouraged to participate in class. Your teachers will use a range of tasks, both individual and in group work, to help you improve your English, increase your confidence, and become fluent across the four core areas: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening – all while learning some serious life skills too! Your lessons will be interactive and linked with activities outside the classroom so that you use and practise the skills and language you learn each day.

General EnglishAll our programmes include a course in General English. The minimum length of the course is one week.• Lessons per week: 20 lessons (1 lesson = 45 minutes;

15 hours per week)• Students per class: Maximum 15

SuccessAt the end of your EC experience, you will receive an official EC certificate that proves you have put in the right amount of effort and hard work to complete your course. You will go home with greater confidence in your abilities, improved fluency in English, and the core skills you need to succeed in a global community.

Life SkillsThink of these skills as a set of very important tools you can use to meet any of the challenges or demands of day-to-day life, now and in the future. Our Young Learners curriculum is built to teach you English while helping you to develop these four essential life skills:

1. Critical ThinkingThis is the ability to analyse and evaluate a problem or situation in an objective way. Using critical thought, you will be able to form stronger arguments and come up with better solutions.2. CollaborationThis is an important skill to have at school and at work. Being able to collaborate effectively means working together and cooperating with others to create something or tackle a problem. 3. Creativity Creativity is the act of turning your imagination and ideas into reality. It’s the ability to think about and see things differently so that you can express yourself in new, interesting ways. 4. Communication The ability to express yourself and share ideas in a clear, effective and constructive way is a priceless skill that will take you far in life. Get ready to conquer the world – one conversation at a time!

PlacementOn your first day at EC, you’ll have time to settle in and take a placement test to find out your current level of English. This test determines your proficiency and helps us to place you amongst students at the same level and ability so that you will feel comfortable expressing yourself and participating in class.

A Day in the Life*

*Example of a typical day in the life of a young learner in London.

Rise and shine! Get ready for another fun-filled day with your friends.

Walk to school with friends.

Time for class! Today’s lesson focuses on communication skills, so your teacher starts the day with the vocabulary and grammar you need to have a structured debate. Who will win?

The class is divided into teams so the debate can finally begin! It’s time to put your new skills into practice.

Leave school and head to today’s activity – shopping at Camden Market and a trip to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum!

This is the perfect time for a Skype call home to tell your family and friends what you’ve been up to today!

It’s film night – bring on the popcorn. Sleep – you’ll need to reenergise for another full day tomorrow!

The Next Steps

Daniela

After her fun-filled summer

abroad, Daniela returned home

with more amazing memories

than she could count! She made

loads of friends during her time

in Malta, and now has a new

best friend, Cagla, who’s from

Turkey. They text each other

every day. She also practises

her English with her sister Sara

whenever she calls home.

Omar

Omar loved every minute of his

time in Los Angeles. Being at

UCLA gave him a little taste of

what it would be like to study

in the USA, and as his English

improved, he built up the

confidence to make new friends.

He can’t wait to visit the country

again with his big brother

Ibrahim so that the two of them

can do all things American!

Akio

Akio enjoyed being surrounded

by nature and visiting the

Montreal Biodome where he saw

all kinds of different animals.

He finally got the chance to see

the amazing gymnasts perform

at the Cirque du Soleil, and he

made sure to take a few videos

to share with his big brother,

Kenta, so that he could practise

his English and his gymnastic

skills when he got home.

Ana

Ana took photos from the

minute she set foot in Brighton.

She felt so inspired that she

actually wrote a whole story! She

wrote the story in Portuguese

first, and with her EC teacher’s

help, she started translating

it into English. She sent the

English version to her sister Júlia

who is super proud of how well

Ana has improved her English.
