Course description

Project themed English lessons

30 hours per two week course

Learning through projects is particularly motivating for young learners and helps them remember the language that they learn. Working in groups, students use English to produce something tangible like a short film, a presentation, a magazine or a short story.
Project work guarantees students study something new every time. Each project is based on a theme. Autumn Explorer is designed around 3 weekly project themes.
