We want to make sure that students can get the most from these activities and trips both in terms of experience and language practice.
With this in mind, before each activity or trip, students will take part in a “Get ready to explore” session. In these sessions, students will work with a member of the EC team to prepare the kinds of language and skills they might need on the excursion. For example, if students are going wine-tasting, they might prepare phrases for describing wine and their wine preferences; if they are going on a hike with their classmates, they might discuss topics and strategies for making small talk and getting to know new people; or if they’re visiting a museum for an exclusive audio tour, they might discuss strategies for following an audio guide in a second language. These sessions are designed to ensure that each and every excursion is an not only an exciting life experience but also an extension of their language learning.
This programme is recommended for students aged 45+
