Language courses abroad Learn a language, explore a new desintation and make friends for life
Why parents choose EF For 50 years, EF’s mission has been to open the world through education – helping millions of students around the globe. Our unwavering commitment to transforming every student’s life has allowed us to become the world’s largest private education organization.
Learn a language where it is natively spoken In EF’s Language Travel programs, children travel abroad in escorted groups to learn a language where it is natively spoken. Accompanied by an extensively trained leader from <market>, students will make guaranteed progress in their language skills and academic results. Language Travel is also a chance to meet friends from around the world and explore new cultures with EF organized activities and excursions – all with the comfort and security that comes with around the clock professional support.
Specialized courses for all ages Younger students learn differently to their older peers: that’s why our camps, junior courses and senior courses all are designed differently to meet the specific requirements of every age group.
Quality, experience and innovation Before you go Enjoy unlimited access to MyEF, our online campus. Prepare for your time abroad. Discover more about your destination. Connect with other EF students. While you are abroad Our innovative method has you learning in and outside of the classroom. Practice your skills. Benefit from cultural immersion with native speakers and improve your accent. When you get home Keep in touch with your new friends and become an EF Ambassador. You’ll get the chance to share your experience to earn great rewards and prizes while connecting with fellow EF alumni.
Dear parents, Studies increasingly show that children learn languages more easily when they’re encouraged from a young age. Those who speak more than one language are better at multitasking, approach complex problems in a different way, and can quickly make friends from multiple cultures. At EF, our goal is to encourage your child to become a global citizen by learning a language abroad.
Trustworthy From my experience of working with students from across the world, I know how crucial that experience is to the start of an international future – and, <having worked with parents/as a parent myself>, I also understand how nervous you may feel about allowing your child to take the first step alone. That’s why we offer this group travel program – so your child can learn and explore with friends their own age. It’s a win-win. Your child has a life-changing experience. And you, the parent, can relax knowing that experienced EF staff are there every step of the way providing safety, supervision and support.
Educational Imagine how proud you will feel when your child returns home more mature, more self-confident, more curious about exploring the world – and above all, a better speaker of another language. My team and I look forward to discussing with you which EF course is right for your child’s needs.
