This summer we are offering a range of interactive English courses during July and September for children and adults. All of our courses will help develop your ability in communicating confidently in English.
Two week courses for junior students (6-10 year olds) and secondary students (11- 17 year olds) in our centres in Lisbon and Parede.
- we offer both morning courses (both centres) and all day courses in Lisbon.
- each two week course in July is different so you can opt to attend two courses.
| Morning courses (2 weeks, 30 hours) |
"Once upon a time" - Junior courses (6-10 year olds)
Each week of the course is based around an authentic story or non-fiction book. We use the topics in the book to develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in English and engage the children in a wide range of motivating activities including role-plays, storytelling, games, making their own mini books, songs and chants. |
"My world" - Secondary courses - (11- 17 year olds)
Each course is based around topics of current interest to teenagers and aims to develop their understanding of the world they live in. Through a wide range of interactive tasks using real material such as film, music and internet research we develop students’ understanding and oral and written production. |
