Course objective

The objective of the course is to improve dramatically the spoken English of course participants. Particular emphasis is placed on the English used by participants in their areas of study at school or university. Students are asked to indicate on the Application Form their areas of study at school or university and any particular subjects they would like to concentrate on during the course.

Core areas of the course

There are three principle areas of teaching on the course:

Foundational English
Care is taken to ensure that course participants have a solid foundation in basic grammar and vocabulary.

Specialist English concentrating on the areas of study of course participants:
Teaching is aimed at the participantsí particular areas of study. Talks and discussions are arranged with professionals in the different fields.
There are opportunities to visit sites connected with the different areas of study ( hospitals for medical students, law courts for lawyers, concerts for musicians, etc.)

British Culture
All students will acquire a knowledge of British culture from films, talks and seminars.
There are also weekly excursions organised to sites of interest in London (such as the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, museums and galleries).

There are also weekly excursions to some of the more important towns and cities in Southern England (such as Oxford, Canterbury and Cambridge).

Nature of the course
The course is residential. It is for students between 16 and 24 years of age.
Participants live in Netherhall House with students from all over the world. The common language of the House is English.

Opportunities are available to play football, tennis, squash, basketball,
swimming, cricket and other sports.

It is the task of the teachers to ensure that each student obtains as much from the course as possible.

The course leader will meet weekly with each student (in addition to being available at other times) to receive feedback and to enable personalised alterations to be made to the course programme.

Students are encouraged to take their meals with the teachers.
