English Language

 
 

Suited to students of all abilities using English as a second language, we use a diverse range of classroom techniques to engage students and build confidence in spoken English.

Engaging Classroom Dynamic  

Interactive lessons inspire and engage students using popular topics. The syllabus is intricately and professionally designed in order to be a classroom instrument which facilitates the learning process. Our experienced and highly qualified teachers create a dynamic and vibrant classroom experience which is distinctly different from term-time education.  

Individual Student Needs 

Students in English Language class at Charterhouse Summer School

A pre-course assessment helps us to understand students’ English levels before they arrive at the school, and they will also speak with a teacher on the first day so as to be correctly placed in a class tailored to their abilities and interests. 

Communicative Approach 

Lessons are designed to build confidence in spoken English through enthusiastic interaction. This culminates in students producing and delivering a presentation on a chosen topic to classmates at the end of the course, celebrating their new-found skills and confidence in spoken English.

Total Immersion  

Classroom language practice is underpinned by a 24/7 English experience throughout the camp, with all other electives and activities being delivered in English, ensuring that conversational language skills acquired in lessons give students the tools to effectively communicate in real life settings

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to: 

  • Communicate with greater confidence across a range of everyday and academic situations. 

  • Deliver clear and engaging presentations, using effective speaking and discussion skills to express their ideas. 

  • Use broader and more accurate vocabulary, enabling more natural and precise communication. 

  • Demonstrate improved core English skills, with particular progress in oral fluency and intelligibility. 

  • Understand and respond to a variety of authentic texts, developing stronger comprehension and critical thinking skills.

From this summer school, we’ve witnessed our child’s growth and her opportunity to meet friends from all over the world. This experience has greatly benefited her development. Every day, she has been happy, no longer relying on her parents, but transforming into an independent individual.
