During class, all the basics of the English language will be covered – grammar, vocabulary, oral and written expression and understanding – focusing on the practical implementation of the language. In a context that puts interaction forward, the learners are encouraged to speak freely; they benefit from teaching methods that are adapted to their age and needs, thus making fast progress easier, and they can practise the language through different creative activities. At the end of the course, they receive a certificate attesting to the level of English that they have reached.

« Si, sicuramente. Parlare inglese quotidianamente fa fare dei progressi incredibili in tempi molto brevi, qualsiasi sia il tuo livello di partenza. Si impara molto di più arraggiandosi ogni giorno (cercando di conversare, capire e farsi capire) che sui libri di grammatica. Ne sono uscito molto più disinvolto. »

Ha sido una buena experiencia para Sara porque con 13 años ha convivido en otro entorno, distinto al habitual en Valencia y con otros compañeros. La parte negativa para un mayor rendimiento en la utilización del idioma es que ha coincidido con un grupo de muchos chicos españoles. El colchón de la cama tremendamente incómodo

Det var jätteroligt! Jag ville inte åka hem. Jag har träffat jättemånga nya vänner och blivit mycket säkrare på min engelska. Det enda negativa jag kan tänka på är maten. Den var riktigt dålig men vi överlevde ändå. Och juste, en till negativ sak är att jag saknar det så mycket att det blir jobbigt. Jag önskar att jag kunde ha stannat längre. Detta var en riktigt rolig upplevelse! Skolan var jättecool. Det var som ett växthus och det fanns en pool som vi fick bada i, vilket var tur eftersom klassrummen var aaaalldeles för varma. Men det positiva väger ändå upp det negativa hur lätt som helst. Undervisningen var bra. Halva tiden hade vi teori och andra halvan hade vi projekttid. Min favorit var nog teorin eftersom vi hade en väldigt bra lärare då. Båda lärarna var väldigt bra men teoriläraren var bäst. Jag brukar inte gilla att ha lektioner så mycket men lektionerna på resan var faktiskt roliga. Jag tror att ledarna hade lite problem med att komma på aktiviteter. Vi spelade fotboll typ tre gånger. Inte för att jag har något emot fotboll men alla gillar ju inte det. Men det fanns alltid två saker att välja på så det är ju bra. Den roligare aktiviteten vi hade var "bin bag fashion show" när vi dekorerade en soppåse och så fick en modell visa upp den för alla på en cat walk. Det var riktigt roligt. Utflykterna var också roliga. Vi besökte väldigt många gamla slott och palats. Men det var faktiskt kul. Detta var en väldigt bra resa som jag aldrig kommer att glömma!

« Jag har inte utökat mitt ordförråd så mycket, bara lite men jag känner att jag verkligen har blivit mycket mer säker. Jag pratade flytande innan men nu är jag säkrare och vågar verkligen använda mig av engelskan fullt ut. »

School highlights

« Skolan var väldigt fin. Det var som hälften skola och hälften växthus. Och den var så stor så det fanns mycket att utforska även om vi inte fick vara överallt. Och det fanns även en uteplats med lite gräs, några bänkar och en basketplan. Inte världens bästa skolgård men det fanns i alla fall en. »
