S M A R T H O L I D AY S

TEACHING AND SUPERVISION Teaching generally takes place in the mornings, from Monday to Friday. You will be integrated into a small group of your level, after sitting an evaluation test on the first day of classes.

The teachers always teach in their mother tongue. Because they are especially trained for teaching languages to young learners and teenagers, they are experts in creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere, with an emphasis on communication.

Outside of class, experienced activities coordinators supervise your leisure activities and ensure that your stay is a success. In the case of any problems, the school’s group leaders are available 24/7 thanks to an emergency telephone line.

At the end of your stay, you‘ll receive a certificate issued by the school attesting to the language level you‘ve achieved.

ARRIVAL AND TRANSFER You will be met upon arrival by a transfer service that will bring you to your accommodation and back to the airport on your final day.

Some families plan their holidays in the same region where their children go for a language stay. In this case, we encourage parents to bring their child themselves by car, which allows them to visit beautiful regions at the same time. If you are using other types of transport, you will also be taken care of by the school as soon as you arrive and will be brought to your place of accommodation.

UNACCOMPANIED MINORS SERVICE Most airlines offer a service for young people who are not used to travelling on their own. The Unaccompanied Minors (UM) service is strongly recommended for children under 13 and some airlines insist upon it.

After check-in on the day of departure, you hand your child over to the airline representative, who will accompany your child through the airport and all the way to the boarding gate, where they will be met by a member of the cabin crew. Upon arrival, an airline representative will hand the child over to a school representative. On the way back, the school representative will assist your child with the check-in process at the desk, where they will meet an airline delegate who will take them through security and hand them over to the cabin crew during boarding. You just have to wait for your child and the host at the arrival airport.

FREE TIME AND SUPERVISION Even though our programmes include many varied activities, students have some free time to rest or spend time together playing games or just hanging out.

For younger learners, free time is usually spent on campus under the supervision of activity leaders. Excursions to the city may include periods during which the students are allowed to roam freely while supervisors provide regular meeting points in order to check in and ensure that nobody is missing.

More independent teenagers will enjoy more free time, either on campus or downtown, to shop, stroll and socialise with their new friends. However, they will always be given a meeting point where they will meet with the activity leaders at regular intervals.

Whatever the age of the participants, we will make sure that the partner schools do everything in their power to provide them with supervision adapted to their age in order to guarantee their safety.

PRICES

ESL · A world of languages

Transfers are legally compulsory for students under 18 years old, unless an adult brings them to the school at the beginning of the programme and picks them up at the end of their stay.

This service is generally payable to the airline companies and partner schools offering this full accompaniment service. The fees charged by the partner schools for this extra service are indicated in the “options/extras” section of each destination. The fees charged by the airline company will be invoiced to you at the same time as your child’s plane ticket.

Our prices include study, full-board accommodation and the activities/excursion programmes mentioned in the description of leisure activities. In addition to the standard programme, some schools offer intensive courses, sports activities (tennis, surfing, diving, sailing, horse riding, football, etc.) and cultural outings/ excursions. For further information, consult the “options, supplements” for each school. Some programmes also offer a wider choice of additional optional activities which are to be paid for on-site. Sometimes, the airport transfer is included in the price, otherwise it is also indicated in the “options/extras” column.

We recommend that you bring around £40 of pocket money per week to buy phone credit, snacks, drinks, souvenirs, etc. and another £40 to cover the cost of optional activities offered on-site.

This amount should always be adapted to the individual.

COURSES AT THE TEACHER’S HOME

ENGLISH FRENCH GERMAN

Living and studying at the teacher’s home is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to immerse yourself in your host country’s culture. By studying the language at your teacher’s home, you’ll enjoy personalised lessons based around your needs. You’ll learn at your own pace in an active, natural and intensive way. This option is ideal for students who have specific goals in mind, like exam preparation or developing certain language skills, like grammar or conversation.

THE PROGRAMME

ESL · A world of languages

We offer language courses in the teacher’s home in France and Germany. Our teachers, who are chosen meticulously in order to offer the best possible study environment, are specialists in teaching foreign languages and some are also teachers at nearby primary or secondary schools. Each teacher’s family situation varies, but many live with their children. With this type of course, your teacher will not only help and correct you during classes, but also at all times you spend together. At the end of your stay, you will have acquired solid language skills that will allow you to express yourself more freely.

DESTINATIONS We’ll help you decide which destination in France or Germany best suits your needs and interests. Then, according to your availability, we’ll match you with a teacher. Keep in mind that in general, teachers live in small towns or in the surroundings of larger cities.

ACCOMMODATION

Standard spanish programme (host family) (14-17 years) Lessons: 25 x 45 min Levels: beginner to advanced (C1) Students/class: max. 15 Schedule: 09:30-11:00 + 11:30-13:00 + 13:15-14:00 The summer camp offers 25 general Spanish lessons per week in classes with a maximum of 12 students, allowing for plenty of student-teacher interaction. The teaching style is dynamic and the subjects covered in class favour communication. The programme and course material are designed especially for young learners from 14 to 17 years old and adapted to their language level. Following the four morning lessons, participants will attend a fifth lesson entirely dedicated to a group project. The rest of the day will be dedicated to leisure, with various activities on offer on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and free afternoons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At the end of their stay, participants will receive a certificate confirming the language level achieved.

Host family You make faster progress when you’re immersed in a language and its culture. The host families, selected with care, are there to accommodate our young students, but they also provide a reassuring home, family supervision and the possibility to practise the language daily in a relaxed atmosphere. What’s more, sharing the daily life of a Spanish family opens doors to the local culture, allowing you to experience the local customs and traditions close up. Participants stay in single or twin rooms (when travelling with a friend). All families live a short walk or bus ride from the campus and provide breakfast, dinner and takeaway picnics for lunch.
