Things to do…ADULTS
Activities for our adult students fall into two categories. Some
aim to be engaging and stimulating, such as guided museum visits or
theatre evenings, while others are relaxing and informal, such as
meals out or a pub quiz.
Activities include:• A visit to Scarborough Castle – enjoy the
stunning views over
the coastline.
• Dinner at a lively Mexican restaurant – sombreros available on
request!
• A backstage tour of the world-famous Stephen Joseph Theatre –
home to all the first productions of Alan Ayckbourn.
• An evening at a typical English pub – sample some genuine
English ales!
• A visit to Goathland – the location used for the popular TV
series ‘Heartbeat’ and featured as ‘Hogsmeade Station’ in the Harry
Potter films.
• A visit to Castle Howard – a historic house set within 1,000
acres of breathtaking countryside (shown below).
Learning English successfully is not only dependent on taking
lessons in a formal classroom setting, it is also about using the
language to communicate in real life situations. This is why our
social programme is such a key part of our courses and educational
philosophy.
-
TEEN
The social programme is an important and integral part of the
learning experience. Our students use their English while having
fun with new friends, all supervised by our specially trained Team
Leaders. Group activities take place three afternoons and two
evenings a week, while Tuesday evening is a time for meeting up
informally with new friends or spending time getting to know your
English hosts.
JUNIOR
When planning and designing a course for juniors it is important
to include a variety of activities in order to help and encourage
their learning. These activities must be enjoyable but also create
a need to communicate; it is for this reason that the social
programme is such a vital part of our Junior Vacation Programme.
Engaging classroom tasks in the morning are supported by fun and
games in the afternoon, all supervised by our team of highly
qualified Early Years staff.
The excursions are very funny and excellent.GAUTHIER, FRANCE
