Starting to learn English from an early age is fairly common in Europe but we are also finding that extending that knowledge with overseas trips to England to further their knowledge is now being adopted by more and more groups. Recently at Capital School we were pleased to have had 3 young learners groups to study and improve their English language skills in the UK.
Having made 3 new contacts at a recent educational fair we welcomed 2 Italian groups and a Spanish group this March who attended our special English language mini stay cultural programmes.
The groups were closed groups from high schools ranging from 20 to 50 students who came over to improve their English language learning skills on our very popular mini stay programme from 7 to 14 days.
The groups were split according to age and linguistic awareness and taught by a group of 4 teachers with specialist background knowledge of the programme designed by our Junior School academic team, Lynne Roberts and Emma Lusty.
During the low season we often have school groups and over the last year we have had groups from as far away as Brazil.
The academic programme is designed to activate learnt language and to build linguistic confidence in their English language skills. The students are worked incredibly hard and have to present to their peer groups as well as tutors at the school. This coupled with a great activity programme meant the course was well received and year on year we welcome back groups from many existing school contacts as well as new ones made at the various fairs and events we attend.
