English + Action

About the course

Not everyone wants to spend all day in a classroom. Therefore, if you choose this course, you will spend your morning in class and your afternoon playing sports or participating in outdoor or indoor activities (where basic instruction is required, this will be provided by fully-trained personnel).

Perfect for a short refresher course or a summer vacation course.

Objectives

Our English + Action course is designed to improve your overall level of English to make you more confident, fluent and able to communicate in different situations. You will have the chance to expand your knowledge of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, and the academic programme is designed to develop all four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. This course also gives students the opportunity to try a variety of activities and adventure sports.

Outcomes

On this course, students will improve their English language skills for study, work, travel or for pleasure, as well as benefiting from all the activities they take part in.

Activities

Depending on the time of year and weather conditions, the afternoon activities may include a selection from the following: tennis, surfing, paddleboarding, skating, swimming, gym, climbing wall, kayaking, golf, cycling.

Participants can join the other students in the College for Friday afternoon and Saturday excursions (included in course fee) and for the evening social programme.
