English LanguageAt Oxford Regis we welcome both English learners and improvers and our English Language Course is desined for non-native speakers of English. The dedicated English Language course is taught in small-groups and focuses on two main areas: listening and speaking, with an emphasis on con�dence in spoken English. English idioms are studied as part of listening exercises and pronunciation is practiced with native English speakers as part of our speaking practice. By the end of the course students should have “found their feet” and will �nd it “plain sailing” to correctly pronounce “sheep” and “ship”. Practice with native speakers is the key to using the English language �uently and correctly.
University PreparationThis course is designed for students hoping to apply to Oxford or Cambridge Universities, or anyone thinking of applying to a UK university. The course aims to explain the process of applying to a UK university, guide students in their choices and application, and build con�dence in a university setting. The course does not intend to repeatedly drill students with answers for their Oxbridge interview, but instead informs the student and builds their con�dence. The course covers the following aspects: subject choice and career choice, college choice, application procedure, personal statement, and interview preparation.
Business & EconomicsThe course covers the keys aspects of microeconomics, macroeconomics and business principles. These ideas are strongly re-enforced with numerous real-life case studies of well-known businesses and brands. Key components of the syllabus include: markets, production, cost, e�ciency, supply & demand, market failure, growth & business cycle. During case studies, students have the opportunity to tackle real-life business problems and present their solutions to the class by taking on the role of an external consultant.
Oxford Regis Summer School specialises in providing international summer programmes for students aged 14 - 20 years old, entirely residential within the Colleges and Halls of Oxford University.
AccommodationFor 2013 all students will be fully residential in private single or twin rooms in Wycli�e Hall of the University of Oxford. This exceptional location is right on the doorstep of the famous University Parks recreational grounds and less than 5 minutes walk from Oxford City center.

All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are taken in the college dinning hall and are included in the course fee.

Cultural Activities And Trips
London TripLondon is one of the great cities of the world, full of world famous attractions. As part of our weekend day-trips, all students at Oxford Regis go to London for a day out and get to see one or all of the following British landmarks:
Buckingham Palace - the o�cial London residence of the Queen of EnglandHouses of Parliament - the seat of the two governmental houses of the United KingdomBig Ben - o�cially called Elizabeth Tower of the Palace of Westminster
Leadership & ManagementThe easiest way to distinguish between leadership and management is that management is mostly about processes, whereas leadership is mostly about behaviour. We aim to teach students good management, while growing and encouraging personal leadership and con�dence. This workshop covers key aspects of organisation, leading, motivation, and positive reinforcement. Case studies are used as a tool for students to develop and test e�ective management strategies. Numerous group activities and practical problems are used to develop leadership, teamwork, problem solving skills and con�dence.
Public Speaking & DebateThis course is designed to build students con�dence in public speaking and being the focus of a groups attention. This work is consolidated by listening to some of the most famous speakers and speeches of the past 100 years and analysing their qualities. Practical work to build the student’s con�dence include reading unfamiliar text out loud to a group, preparing and presenting a speech and taking part in class debate competitions. Debate topics may range from topics such as ‘school hours are not long enough’, to ‘do violent video games and movies have a negative e�ect on children?’.
Team BuildingTeam building activities draws on individual and team learning, in order to teach valuable life skills. Learning to manage change, work in a team, good communication, and getting the job done properly and on time are skills needed in all aspects of life. The team building workshop aims to teach these skills with a number of group activities that require all of these skills combined. Team building tasks teach students the importance of teamwork, but also show how to analyse a problem and constructively solve it.
