Language Courses
The ability to communicate in different languages is a priceless gift and enables you to make friends with other campers from all across the globe. Why not developing your language skills during your holidays? All our English courses are solely carried out by native speakers in internationally mixed classes with no more than 12 students. At the beginning of the stay your English level will be assessed by our experienced teachers to ensure that you are placed in the right class, according to your language abilities. Our courses comprise 20 units of 45 minutes per week but no worries – our English lessons are not like being at school. We focus on fun and interactive education using our own modern teaching materials appropriate for each level and age group. At Rossall school we offer two different styles of learning English. It’s your choice!
English Classic
Improve your language skills in a fun way by attending our interactive Classic Courses. Our teachers put a strong focus on oral practice and make sure that you build up your confidence and improve your communication skills in a playful way and without even noticing. You will breathe new vocabulary and internalize the right pronunciation by using the language and not by memorizing boring work sheets. At camp you will always be around our English speaking staff who encourage you to put your language skills in practice, inside and outside the classroom. Attending camp will give you a boost of self-confidence and fresh motivation for your English lessons at home. Promised!
English TOEFL®
Apart from our Classic Courses we also offer two-week TOEFL® Courses. The Test Of English as a Foreign Language is the most widely respected English language test in the world. At the end of the course you will take an exam to achieve the TOEFL® certificate. The great thing is that you can’t fail the test. It just measures your ability to use and understand English as it’s read, written, heard and spoken according to the CEFR – the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1 to C2). Attending this special course is definitely worth it as you will receive a certificate that not only proves your level of English but is also accepted at schools worldwide in case you consider to spend a school year abroad.
Attending the TOEFL® Course means that you will benefit from 10 additional units on top of your 40 hours of classic English tuition. During those additional lessons, we focus on grammar exercises and practice important parts of the exam such as reading and listening comprehension and we will also use sample tests to get you well prepared for the exam.
