The English Language Course with Activities

 

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE COURSE

We offer two, three and four-week residential English Language teaching courses to children aged 10-17 years.

Our English course is designed to:

challenge pupils

improve their language skills

increase their confidence using English

provide multicultural learning with pupils from across the globe

Stonyhurst offers the perfect environment for contextual language learning as pupils are immersed in the rich history of the school with support from specialist teachers.

Our range of teaching methods includes group work, role-play, games, surveys, presentations, quizzes, interviews, talks and workshops, as well as fun off-site excursions.

At the end of the course, each pupil receives a report and a certificate at an awards ceremony. The awards ceremony does not only reward academic achievements, but also sporting success.
