The academic programme is taught through a combination of general English tuition, project sessions, academic English, conversation classes and excursion link lessons. Away from the classroom, a strong emphasis is put on providing students with a truly memorable experience, with an action-packed activity and excursion programme.
English Language Syllabus:
The six-tier syllabus is brand new for 2020. Suitable for all levels from beginner through to proficient. The syllabus combines language study and language in use to offer a variety of lesson types with the main focus on developing communication skills.
The general English course aims to:

• Help students achieve individual goals in language learning.• Gain a better understanding of English books,
films, songs, the internet & media.
Bucksmore Summer English language multi-activity camp • Ages 10-13
bucksmore.com/summer 9Bucksmore Summer • King Edward’s School, Witley, Surrey
Link LessonsStudents have two full-day excursions and one half-day trip every week at Bucksmore Summer. To provide students with an even greater holistic language learning experience, we provide lessons specifically linked to destinations around England.
These include:
• London - Politics & Royalty• The history of Oxford• Shakespeare’s Stratford• Brighton’s Seaside & Shopping• Thrilling Thorpe Park
Learning about a destination through English provides additional motivation for language use and brings English culture and life into the classroom. Students really do benefit from these lessons, inside and outside the classroom.
ProjectsProject sessions at Bucksmore Summer promote group work and cooperation, in order to allow participation across all levels of English. Popular sessions include ‘Bucksmore President’, ‘Gaming Expo’ and ‘Battle of the Bands’.
The aims of project work are to encourage collaboration and communication through the completion of real-world tasks that use English with an authentic purpose.
Students receive vocabulary and grammar input in the first part of the project session, and are then placed into groups. Groups are provided with a project guideline which they should follow and aim to complete in the preparation session.
The weekly project culminates in a presentation evening in which groups display and present their work.
Academic Skills SessionsThe academic skills sessions give students an introduction to exam techniques and are intended to help students improve the skills of academic reading, writing, listening and speaking.
These sessions take place over three hours each week and culminate with students taking the Bucksmore Assessment.
The variety of lessons and teaching material provide students with a stimulating and comprehensive learning experience throughout their stay at Bucksmore Summer.
Bucksmore AssessmentAssessing a learner’s skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, the Bucksmore Assessment helps to improve opportunities for study and travel, and provides a more rounded evaluation of a student’s English ability.
The Bucksmore Assessment provides more relevant and appropriate language so learners are motivated to perform better than other, more adult-focused, exams.
Taken at the end of the course, the assessment is designed to complement the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) and to provide learners with a realistic determination of their English ability.
It can be applied against other international English exams such as Cambridge ESOL & IELTS.
Students will leave the course with a certificate of recommended English level measured against the CEFR scale.

bucksmore.com/boardingschoolexperience 17Boarding School Experience • King Edward’s School, Witley, Surrey
Course InformationThe British Boarding School Experience is designed in line with independent school teaching methodology. The curriculum covers the three core subjects at Key Stage 3 in British schools: English language & literature, mathematics and science.
In addition to the English, science and mathematics tuition, boarders will receive five hours of boarding school entrance preparation, focusing on common entrance tests and aptitude testing.
English LiteratureThe overall aim of the second part of the course is to enhance students’ understanding of spoken and written English outside the language classroom and to enable them to be more proficient in presenting their ideas both orally and in writing.
The lessons will include more in-depth language analysis from a language change point of view which will provide a taster of what is taught in (British) secondary schools.
Debating and drama will enable students to further hone their presentation and self-expression skills and better understand and apply the rhetorical conventions of English.
MathematicsThrough an introduction to and consolidation of algebra, geometry and forms of calculations, students will be better able to reason logically and mathematically which will help not only their mathematical skills but will also improve their verbal fluency and accuracy.
The topics covered will not only build on students’ existing skills but will also prepare them for entrance into (British) secondary education. There is equal focus on all branches of mathematics to provide a real variety of skills during the two weeks.
ScienceBuilding on a well-rounded science programme, the week introduces students to a variety of subjects in a cross-sectional interdisciplinary tuition in science where, for instance, learning biology helps to better describe and understand matters in chemistry and forces in physics. Students also integrate their knowledge of mathematics linked closely to science to study and describe what they learnt.
Boarding School Entrance PreparationThe entrance preparation will help students to successfully tackle entrance exams not only in the UK but in their home countries, too. The skills acquired during the course will hone students’ exam taking and preparation techniques combined with critical thinking training and practice of presentation skills.
