Our range of language courses typically offer 15 hours of tuition a week, with the exception of 20 hours on our homestay programme in Oxford.

Our timetable is usually organised on a ‘zig-zag’ basis. This means that students will have lessons in the morning and their social programme in the afternoon and evening. This is then reversed on a weekly basis. Consequently, students attend both morning and afternoon lessons on alternate weeks*. This allows the students to get the most of their time with us, with an emphasis put on both education and fun.

All students take an online test before arrival to assess their language knowledge and how well they are able to understand and speak English. This enables us to place them in a class they will be happiest and most successful in. In the case that a student is unable to take an online test prior to arrival, a placement

test will be administered at the centre. The maximum class size is 15.

Students’ progress is monitored throughout the course in a range of informal assessments conducted by teachers during the learning process, as well as at the end of the course in the form of a departure test.

Our philosophy is to educate, encourage and help our students enjoy our course towns. It is often a case of helping students to ‘come out of their shell’, increasing their confidence in using English and providing an opportunity to use it in meaningful situations, both in the classroom and outside while socialising with students from many different countries.

ORIENTATION

Students take part in a range of activities that provide the opportunity to learn more about their local surroundings. Arriving in a new place may sometimes be confusing which is why orientation helps our students get settled quickly and feel at home in their course town.

AFTERNOON & EVENING ACTIVITIES

Various options are offered depending on the course and location. Sports, creative activities and cultural understanding are all part of what we offer and we greatly encourage our students to take an active part, so that they can make the most of their time with us. The more they get involved, the more enjoyment they will get out of it. A perfect way to try something new.

HALF DAY EXCURSIONS

During their stay at our centres, students will have a wealth of opportunities to take advantage of British Culture and heritage. This includes taking half day trips to visit famous landmarks and sites.

FULL DAY EXCURSIONS

Students will travel a little further afield to explore cities, visit museums and galleries, or spend time at fun attractions and theme parks. These trips are a great way for students to get an in-depth look at the UK, both its history and modern life. The students can often choose their preference for locations.

Hastings is another town that draws people from all around the world to visit. Famous for a battle that took place here over nearly a thousand years ago, people come from all over to immerse themselves in the history of the town. Boasting a ruined castle, the idyllic ‘old town’ and two Victorian cliff railways, Hastings has a lot of interesting history to see.

Hastings benefits from being smaller than a lot of other our other course towns. With a population under 100,000 there is more of a homely feel.

Hastings is also in a great location for excursions to other towns along the historic coast, or into Brighton or London.

It was a great experience at Chelsea both from a sports and educational point of view. I enjoyed speaking English, I experience local traditions and customs, and above all improved my football technique thanks to Chelsea’s excellent and friendly coaches.

ALBERTO MANGILLIOxford

My experience in Oxford was fun and exciting, in an unforgettable way. The staff helped create a friendly group atmosphere and helped us interact with students from other countries who lived and studied with us. My and my new friends enjoyed each moment of these magical 14 days in England.

ELEONORA MINOLITorquay

I have had a wonderful experience that has definitely helped me grow, become independent, socialize and improve my language. Getting to know English culture was an interesting aspect of the journey as we got to understand their lifestyle and their way of thinking.

A fantastic experience to say the least; I met so many people from different cultures with whom I’m still in contact! And in 2 weeks our English really improved! A trip definitely to be done again next year in the most beautiful city in the world - London.

I learned to trust and believe in myself. My teachers were so helpful and funny, and I really enjoyed my English lessons. The town was very different from my home, but my host family made me feel very comfortable and helped me practice my English during dinner.

During my language trip I experienced so much that I will never experience again. I met new friends, saw a lot of new things and ate some strange foods. I can never forget the time I have been in England and will come back one day!
