Eight key reasons why EAC English summer schools work

FOR many people based abroad, a basic grasp of the English language is useful both personally and professionally.

Children can enhance their learning and understanding of the language from an early age, teenagers work hard to learn English to improve their chances of moving onto further and higher education, while adults can markedly improve their career prospects by learning the rudimentary aspects of the language. Regardless of your situation, EAC offers English courses in UK, USA, French and Spanish schools to help the learner maximise their skills in reading, writing and speaking English.

Outlined below are eight reasons why the English summer schools run by EAC have achieved such startling results and why last summer over 12,000 people, from 48 different countries, attended an EAC English course.

1. EAC offers a range of English courses at a variety of locations

Whether you are looking for English courses in Edinburgh, Hastings, Bath, London or Cordoba in Spain, EAC has centres across Europe that allow students to pick the location of their course that suits them.

2. Each location offers a variety of courses

Although the English language courses on offer at each location may differ, each EAC centre offers a variety of courses for their students. Whether you are a child seeking a summer school experience, complete with a varied social calendar, or a business person seeking to improve their language skills as part of the EAC course for executive English, there is a course perfectly suited to your needs.

3. For children, EAC English language courses focus on more than just class work

EAC remember that for children, an EAC summer school experience should be more than just working in class to improve their skills. Residential summer schools have a variety of exciting social activities which not only keep children entertained, active and amused, but also offer the perfect chance to improve their English skills while making new friends and enjoying new experiences.

4. For adults, EAC courses focus on your specific needs for work or leisure

If you are over 50 there are a variety of courses to suit your personal needs. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking to take up English to empower you when you go on holiday, or if you are a business manager seeking to improve your English skills to help further develop your career; even if you simply want to learn about how to speak, read and write English, EAC offers various courses to meet specific requirements for any adult wishing to learn about this beautiful language.

5. EAC has ensured each course is relevant, meaningful and useful to the student

EAC have worked with professionals in the field of language and teaching to ensure that the courses they have developed for their students are relevant and meaningful. This means if, for example, you are attending an Executive English course you will spend your time learning content and skills relevant to the business world.

6. Quality of teaching is paramount on EAC courses

Any language course is only as good as the quality of teachers who deliver it and at EAC courses, all the teaching staff are dedicated professionals who hold a relevant qualification in teaching English to foreign students. The teacher will not only educate and inform, but ensure that each student receives individual attention and help throughout their course.

7. Learning is contextual and immediately relevant

EAC English courses are tailored to the needs of the individual. So whether you need to improve English skills for your career prospects, achieve a grade in an English examination for admittance to university, or just learn more about the language for a personal reason, the tailored lessons on an EAC course will help you to achieve their goals.

8. There is a perfect balance between work, rest and play

At an EAC summer school, there is equal focus on improving the students’ language skills, as well as offering them a valuable and exciting vacation. Not only do students receive outstanding educational support, but they also enjoy a rich and varied social aspect of the course, on trips, sporting activities and days out which enrich their experiences. EAC’s varied learning plans helps students put their learning in the classroom, into practice in real-life situations.

To conclude, EAC summer schools are popular for a variety of reasons. It is the commitment to quality, the drive to improve the skills of all their students and the inclusive educational and social experience, which ensures that EAC courses are in great demand each summer.
