Morning Plenary
Designed to bring students together at the start of the school day. The morning plenary acts as a warm-up session.

Grammar, Logic and RhetoricÌý
These lessons build the core skills of grammar and sentence structure and the art of constructing an argument. Inspired by the trivium of a classical Liberal Arts education, these are the foundation stones of language knowledge.

Language Analysis and Practice
The Language Analysis and Practice lessons use a wide variety of authentic materials such as literary texts, news articles, research reports and current affairs audio and video to build new vocabulary and develop listening comprehension skills and speaking skills. There is an emphasis on intonation and pronunciation. The art of editing and summarising is practised in the précis exercises. For flair in written English, students work on practice exercises in a range of styles and registers including creative writing, short stories, improvisation, essay writing, reports on researched topics, reviews, commentaries and literary criticism. Reading comprehension and understanding of the written word is developed in the text analysis sessions.Ìý

Spoken Performance WorkshopÌý
Students are set tasks which challenge them to develop their speaking and active expression in the language. There is also a focus on non- verbal communication such as body language.

Team ProjectÌý
Each week, students work in small teams to produce and deliver a project at the end of the week. Students also develop problem solving, collaboration, organisation and planning skills. Digital connections with sister schools allow students to collaborate with other teams from outside the school, to create real-life examples of authentic digital connections.Ìý

Mentored DissertationÌý
The Mentored Dissertation is a piece of work which is personal to the learner’s study objectives and which is completed over the duration of the course.

The programme channels the energy and creativity of young people into the real life achievements of academic results and personal growth. Students graduate from their summer programmes inspired for further study with new language skills, international friendships, wider horizons and lasting memories. The courses for young learners focus on developing students’ confidence using English by developing the real- world skills necessary for life in an increasingly globalised world.

There is a maximum of 8 students in each class. This allows the teachers to give each student more attention and allows the students to engage more fully with the language and make faster progress. Lessons are fast-paced and encourage the students to engage with authentic English language materials. Challenging and creative homework encourages the development of autonomous learning skills, and takes learning out of the classroom and into everyday life.

The demanding Academic programme starts with Living Language, which encourages learners to explore the English language as it is really used, and fosters an interest in and enjoyment of the intricacies of language. This is followed by Spoken Performance Workshop, which features presentations, drama and debates. This challenges the students by focusing on pronunciation, intonation, voice projection and the ability to perform under pressure.

The syllabus includes a project component in which the students work in small teams to produce and present a project to their fellow students and others. Team Project fosters an ability to interact with others and involves problem solving and helps to incorporate new language in a meaningful context.
