L’Ecosse est un pays incroyable, les paysages sont magnifiques, chacune des régions traversées nous amènent à des paysages de films bien connus. Je ne regrette pas le choix de ma destination. Le personnel de l’école est en or, toujours à l’écoute, ils trouvent rapidement des solutions à tous les problèmes qu’ils soient concernant votre quotidien (besoin de voir un médecin, de se rendre à la poste...) ou concernant les cours et votre lieu de résidence. Les professeurs sont vraiment au top, très à l’écoute et vous font vraiment progresser ! Cependant, la diversité des nationalités est plutôt pauvre puisqu’il y avait une grande majorité de saoudiens et pas mal de français (ce qui n’empêche de se parler anglais entre nous). La méthode d’enseignement est dynamique, les livres sont issus d’une édition National Geographic, donc nous sommes plongés dans divers univers culturels chaque semaine. Les professeurs sont vraiment à l’écoute des besoins et prennent le temps de répondre à toutes nos questions. Un réel progrès est perçu ! J’ai eu la chance d’avoir la plus grande chance de l’appartement, donc j’en ai été plutôt satisfaite. Cependant à l’arrivée, le ménage n’est pas forcément fait, il faut donc prévoir sa Microfibre, un aspirateur et une serpillère sont fournis. La cuisine et le salon partagé (avec 4 autres étudiants de l’école seulement) sont un super moyen de garder une bonne relation avec d’autres étudiants et de parler anglais. Les lieux étaient dans l’ensemble propre (à nous de nous organiser pour nettoyer), mes colocataires étaient très respectueux. Des excursions diversifiées étaient organisées tous les weekend. Nous avions la possibilité de faire des suggestions d’endroits à visiter qui étaient la plupart du temps acceptées. Joanna, notre professeure attitrée aux excursions, est vraiment superbe, elle se fait un plaisir de nous montrer son pays au travers d’activité variée même en période de Covid !!

L'Écosse est un pays magnifique et Glasgow est vraiment une ville étudiante et moins touristique que Édimbourg donc parfaite pour les études et la vie en générale L’emplacement de l’école est top mais il faudrait qu’ils rajoutent des micros ondes pour les étudiants (pour ne pas manger froid tous les midis si vous êtes en cours intensifs). En ce qui concerne la diversité de nationalités, cela dépend vraiment de la période mais il y a beaucoup d’italiens, de français et de saoudiens. Selon les professeurs, la méthode d’enseignement est plus ou moins bien (avis personnel, cela est propre à chacun) et il en est de même pour le dynamise et le contact. Au niveau de l’ambiance, elle est bonne mais nous parlons souvent qu’à notre cercle d’amis que nous avons créés. Bonnes excursions et activités proposées mais ils devraient en proposer davantages et des plus variées au fil des semaines

Expérience incroyable. J'étais pas certaine de vouloir partir en voyage linguistique et une fois arrivée là bas, j’ai changé complètement d’avis. Tout le monde est gentil, il y a pleins d’activités à faire en Ecosse et j’ai vraiment amélioré mon anglais. Le cliché de l’accent écossais n’est pas si vrai que ça, Je n’ai eu aucun problème pour comprendre qui que ce soit. Je recommande a 1000%. Ça transforme une vie L’école est vraiment bien placé au centre ville et facile d’acces. Elle propose beaucoup d’activités. Par contre, en tant que francophone, j’ai trouvé qu’il y en avait beaucoup. Il ne faut pas tomber dans le piège de parle sa propre langue. On apprend l’anglais général manque parfois de thème plus business. Vivre en famille d’accueil est vraiment un plus pour améliorer son anglais et en apprendre plus sur l'Écosse, la culture, les traditions, ... J’ai adoré ma famille qui ont tout fait pour me mettre à l’aise et me faire plaisir. Petit bémol, j’ai regretté que les familles ne prennent pas les étudiants avec quand ils ont des activités à l’exterieur. Cette relation ne dépasse pas la maison. À faire absolument, les activités sont en général abordables et pour tous les goûts. 3 fois par semaine; une activité en semaine gratuite, un jour au club de conversation et durant le week-end une activité payante (prix du transport public et de l’entrée ) pour découvrir l'Écosse.

« Les points forts sont les petits groupes, on peut discuter avec les professeurs par rapport à son niveau. Il y a une bonne atmosphère. Mais à rajouter qu’il faut tanté de mieux diversifier les nationalités dans les classes et certaines personnes ne sont pas dans leur bon niveau ce qui perturbe le niveau de la classe. »

Ce séjour fut une franche réussite. La ville de Glasgow vaut réellement le détour. Les habitants sont super accueillants. Tout le monde est pret à t'aider dans la rue. L'école en elle-même était top. Le seul point négatif est que bcp de personnes francophones étaient présentes et on tend donc plus à parler en français qu'on devrait. L'ambiance en classe était vraiment bonne. les professeur sont réellement attentionnés envers leurs étudiants et toujours prêt à aider en cas de besoin. Les cours sont des cours d'anglais classique sauf que les professeurs maîtrisent parfaitement leur sujet Cette famille d'acceuil est certainement le point le plus positif de ce voyage. Il n'a pas fallu plus d'Un jour pour que je me sente entièrement chez moi. Le fait d'avoir une clé nous permet de bouger à notre guise. Al était un cuisinier exceptionnel et un meneur de conversation sans égal. Kate s'implique réellement comme une mère auprès des étudiants qu'elle recoit. On se sent en sécurité dans leur maison. Les conversations autour du repas du soir nous permettent de continuer à améliorer notre anglais même en dehors de l'école. De plus, il y avait plusieurs étudiants dans la famille d'accueil, cela facilite le contact et engage les conversations encore plus facilement.

Glasgow School of English, Glasgow
Duration: 4 weeks

I went to the Glasgow Schools of English for 4 weeks and I tried to refresh my English knowledge with an intensive course. As far as I’m concern, I succeeded! Despite the bad weather prejudices, Glasgow has many things to offer: museums, pubs or cafés. I was never bored! If the weather allows it, you can explore the surroundings for a cheap price. I went to the Highlands, to Loch Lomond and to Edinburgh for one day.
Scotland is a beautiful land and it was such a pleasure to explore it. I didn’t have any problem fitting in, even though the Scottish accent is quite difficult to understand at first. ESL organization was perfect; everything was ready before my departure.

The landscapes, the cities and the people – just amazing! My decision to go to Scotland for a month was the best I could make, I would do it again anytime! This summer I was able to significantly improve my English and to take part in a cultural exchange. In Glasgow I met students from all over the world. Together we improved our English and learned plenty of things about other cultures and mentalities. I spent my afternoons and weekends exploring the cities and the countryside. By doing so, I discovered two of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life: St Andrew on the east coast and Millport, on a small island in the west of the country, I was impressed by this unspoilt nature and that’s why I want to come back one day. I would like to discover this breathtakingly beautiful nature even more. During my stay, ESL advised and helped me. They took care of the whole organisation and made my planning easier. Thus, my stay was a successful continuous training and an exciting holiday!

My three-month language stay was a very good experience. I have greatly improved my English, even though I encountered very strong accents, the setting was very nice and the people very welcoming. There are a lot of very interesting activities to do in Glasgow (museums, historical monuments as well as pubs). For the stays that last several weeks, the best thing to do is renting a car and going to visit the country – its huge castles and its distilleries. Scotland has beautiful landscapes as well as an exceptional historical heritage (from the Middle Ages with William Wallace to Adam Smith in the Age of Enlightenment). I also discovered a great variety of beers and whiskeys with unknown flavours, so if you are into that kind of products, go ahead!

The school encourages linguistic exchange between the various participants by organising extra-curricular activities accompanied by the English teachers. Every Monday afternoon, students and teachers meet and chat over a cup of coffee at the "Coffee Club". Amongst the other possibilities on offer, you find a museum visit in order to view the fabulous Burrell collection or an excursion to Pollok Country Park, ice-skating in the city centre or a visit to The Lighthouse, the famous museum of design and architecture in Glasgow.
Full-day excursions will allow you to discover a whisky distillery or Millport, an island located off the turbulent west coast of Scotland. A boat trip on Loch Lomond or a bus outing to The Trossachs, a wooded valley which has inspired numerous poets and authors through the beauty of its natural setting, will also be included in the programme. And finally, there will be impromptu visits in the various districts of this fascinating city!
