ABOUT THE COURSES

Learning a language is about much more than just vocabulary and grammar.

Our programmes allow you to improve your language and communication skills while discovering the destination of your choice in depth.

IDEAL DATES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

INTERCULTURAL EXCHANGE

Popular destinations get really busy during the peak season, which coincides with school holidays. These 50+ programmes are offered outside the height of peak season, making for a more relaxed atmosphere.

You’ll study and share experiences with people from all over the world. Not only is this a richly rewarding experience, but you’ll also use the language you’re learning for authentic intercultural communication.

COMMUNICATION-BASED LEARNING

DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR LEARNERS AGED 50+ In contrast to courses for younger learners, which may focus on using languages in professional or academic environments, you’ll learn vocabulary that will make your holidays more enjoyable and the local culture more accessible.

ESL · A world of languages

The teachers focus on learning through communication. This involves exercises and group work designed to simulate conversation in everyday situations. By learning in this way, you’ll be ready to communicate in the real world, outside of the classroom.

STRUCTURED STUDY & TRIP The package includes tuition and enrolment, accommodation and an activities/excursions programme. All elements of the trip are designed to help you study while enjoying an active break.

2-WEEK PROGRAMMES

EMPHASIS ON CULTURE The tuition and activities focus on culture, to give the language context. Through a diverse activities programme, you’ll enjoy a strong group dynamic while learning all about local history, gastronomy and traditions.

This is the perfect amount of time to combine language study and cultural immersion. You can really get to know the destination and dive deeper into the culture than during a single week.

SUPERB ACTIVITY PROGRAMMES Really get beneath the surface of your destination.

After class in the morning and at weekends, the school organises a superb range of activities for you to enjoy with your classmates.

To guarantee you a smooth experience, we offer only comfortable and convenient accommodation options. Host families are the most popular option, but you may choose amongst a broad range of alternatives in each destination: hotels, private studios, shared apartments, residences… Be sure to let us know if you have any specific requests, and we’ll take them into account to help you find the perfect accommodation for your stay.

LEISURE Get beneath the surface of local ­life. The leisure programmes focus on the attractions of the destination, including history, culture and cuisine. Whether you want to enjoy guided tours, cooking courses, wine tastings, dance lessons, evenings at the theatre or getaways to the countryside, you’ll have a huge variety of options to choose from. Of course, you’re also free to spend your leisure time as you wish!
