  • we test you on the first day and place you into a group that suits your level
  • morning classes (5 days a week) focus on the primary skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing; increase your fluency and accuracy; and extend the range of your vocabulary
  • afternoon classes (3 days a week) focus on improving your fluency in English through Active Language Projects* (see below)
  • all your teachers are fully qualified and aim to increase your confidence and accuracy when speaking and writing in English
  • you receive a Certificate and Report on the final day based on your progress during the course.
Active Language Projects encourage you to ‘activate’ your language skills in imaginative and exciting ways. There are three basic stages:
  • Preparation - input from the teacher or research by the learner;
  • Development - organising and sharing ideas with other members of the class;
  • Production - a presentation or a performance which concludes the activity.
There’s always a clear language outcome which the learner moves towards during the week. Here are some examples:
  • Class magazine, photo-display, digital story
  • Competitive Quiz, Questionnaire or treasure trail
  • Presentation (visual, oral) based on a Study Visit to a location within Oxford
