English in Practice

 

This course has been designed to allow the students the opportunity to spend the first half of their lesson time learning functional, communicative language in the classroom and then going out to local places with the teacher to put the new language to use.

 

The syllabus consists of a series of tasks ranging from questionnaires and surveys to information gathering activities which the students complete with guidance from the teacher.

 

In the mornings the students will join the school activities where they will have the chance to further practise their English by mixing with the other nationalities attending the school, and then in the afternoon they will attend their own English in Action class.
