Vacation English Plus for Young Learners
The Vacation English Plus offers five extra evening activities on top of our Vacation English programme. Our courses are taught by experienced, qualified teachers and have been created to meet the needs of young learners. Teaching materials, which are specifically designed for holiday programmes, are used to improve vocabulary, grammar and English language skills and abilities. We focus on communication in order to unlock the language the student has learnt in their home country and our programme includes structured conversation work, role plays, discussions, listening and reading practice, combined with some written work. The course consists of 20 lessons each week and a comprehensive social programme on six days and five evenings.
