Die 13 Wochen, die ich in Oxford verbringen durfte, waren super. Die Stadt sowie auch die Schule (BSC) sind großartig und wärmstens zu empfehlen! Mitten im Herzen Oxfords ist die Schule an einem Top-Standort und einfach zu erreichen. Top Personal. das sehr unterstützend ist sowie interessanter und abwechselnder Unterricht Super Lage in der Nähe der Schule & Innenstadt und unmittelbar vor Supermärkten und Bushaltestellen. Die Unterkunft war geräumig und das Zimmer groß. Sehr bemüht, um möglichst viele Alternativen, um sowohl Oxford kennenzulernen als auch Kontakt zu anderen Schülern herzustellen, zu bieten. Die Ansprechpartner waren äußerst freundlich und jederzeit ansprechbar.

« Da mein Sprachlevel vor der Reise bereits im höheren Bereich war, hatte ich nicht die größte Lernkurve im Standradkurs (was aber definitiv nicht am Unterricht lag). Nach einem Wechsel in das CELTA-Programm habe ich jedoch immense Fortschritte gemacht, was sowohl die Theorie, vor allem aber die Praxis des Lehrens angeht. »

Testimonials

Manuel Cuenca Rueda

BSC, Oxford
Duration: 2 weeks

My stay in Oxford was great, the school staff as well as the residence were amazing. I liked BSC’s teaching method a lot for it is very effective and you learn fast. My colleagues were all very friendly, I met people from the most diverse countries and I have kept in touch with them. Learning English in Oxford was a wonderful experience, not only from a linguistic but also from a cultural point of view. Thanks to the activities organised by the school, I could visit other cities such as Stonehenge – which I had always wanted to visit. The residence was excellent, my room was very comfortable and clean and the staff was friendly. Besides, there was Wi-Fi access in my room, which turned out to be very useful to me. As an IT guy, I had taken my laptop with me so I could check my emails and communicate with other people from my room. All in all, my stay was great, it allowed me to learn a lot and to discover a new town. I will certainly go back there.

Lorenzo Maina

BSC, Oxford
Duration: 4 weeks

My language course went perfectly well and I can only give a very positive feedback!
The host family was perfect!! The lady was very friendly and always attentive to my needs. She took care of tidying the house (of course, everyone had to contribute, but a woman always does more than the others), cooking and cleaning. The food (she mostly cooked Italian dishes, with great skill) was delicious.
The school always organized everything very well, the groups were small and I always felt very comfortable. Besides, the water was free.
The other participants were simply fantastic, I exchanged addresses with some of them so we can see each other again soon!
I can’t say more, except that the evenings – particularly Fridays and Saturdays – were always good fun. It was almost like being on holiday!
Thank you and see you soon!

Viola Wolf

BSC, Oxford
Duration: 8 weeks

I really enjoyed my 2 months in Oxford! It’s so interesting to meet so many different people from all over the world. I liked the international language school; teachers suggested amazing subjects to talk about and we all felt involved in some way! My life at the Student House was very varied: it’s quite rare to live with people from France, Japan, Russia, Spain and Holland at the same time! In short: I learnt a lot, met nice people and had a great time! I can only recommend it! Thank you so much to ESL for organizing my trip to Oxford! And thank you to the Swiss team.
