Young Adult English and Activity Residence Programme for Groups
Learn English and Enjoy a full programme of sports, activities and culture
With our English Language and Activity Programme, your group will get high-quality teaching and real-life local experience with full board homestay accommodation included. Every weekday morning, they’ll take classes in the mornings. And every afternoon, they’ll enjoy an action-packed programme of sports, activities and cultural visits in their new home city.
Key Info
Details may vary between course location
Morning lessons focus on developing your child’s core language skills, with particular emphasis given to speaking and listening. Vocabulary and pronunciation work are integrated into each session. Role-plays, AV technology, project work, and task-based activities will develop communicative skills. An entry level test will be held on the first school day and an end-of-course certificate and student report is provided.
Full board Homestay accommodation with packed lunch is included. Your group will also enjoy a supervised sports and activity programme, full and half day excursions, one disco per week and 24/7 pastoral care.
What you need to know
Designed for beginner-level students and above, your child will take 15 hours of tuition per week from 09:00 – 12:15 with each lesson lasting 45-55 minutes. You can expect to have 12-17 students in your class.
Courses will have specific start dates and times during the year which they run. See timetables or listings below.
Mid June - Mid August
In Canada, your classes run Monday to Friday, starting at 09.00 to12.15
Our school buildings open at 08:30 Monday to Friday and are not open at the weekend.
Your lessons are developed by your teachers and are designed specifically to meet your needs. Every week a new programme will be shared with you so that you will be aware of that week’s learning goals.
All classes at CES use a coursebook. These are available from reception and form an essential part of your lessons. Please note, each level uses a different book, so you will need to purchase subsequent textbooks as you progress.
A level test will be sent to you in advance of your arrival. This will assess your grammar, writing and speaking skills and is used by our academic teams to place you in the most appropriate class.
We offer a system of continuous assessment during your study and at the end of each week our academic team will discuss which students should move to a different level in order to maximise their language experience.
If you feel you are in the wrong level, speak to your class teacher or to the Director of Studies.
