Language course for children and teenagers in Eastbourne

The English Language Course for Young People in Eastbourne accepts children and teenagers from 8 to 17 years old. And it runs from late June to mid-August. This is a fully supervised summer language camp that offers an entertaining English language learning experience. Indeed, it combines English lessons for children and teenagers in Eastbourne with organized sports, activities, and excursions. The language camp in Eastbourne takes place in a residential area of the city, which is called Meads. It is close to the city centre and South Downs.

English courses for children and teenagers in Eastbourne:

The English school is accredited by the British Council and focuses on communication. The goal is therefore to achieve fluency and in this way gain confidence with the language. Teaching consists of 15 hours of lessons per week, in classes of up to 14 students. These are available at all levels, from total beginner to advanced. And the learning process extends beyond the classrooms as young foreigners integrate with each other and therefore have to communicate in English. The language academy always tries to limit the number of people per class with the same original language. The idea is of course that English is the only common language and that children speak it at all times. The teachers assess the children’s level of English upon arrival (oral and written exam) in order to place them in a suitable group. All levels are accepted and there is a follow-up of progress throughout the language stay for young people in Eastbourne. At the end of the English summer camp, each participant receives a certificate of attendance and a report card. In addition, he will receive advice from his teacher to continue to improve his skills when he returns home. Looking for an English language camp in Eastbourne with even more intensive courses? It is possible, for an additional cost, to add five lessons per week (one per day). These additional lessons can be in groups, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, communication, pronunciation, reading and writing.
