ELT Banbury English Summer Camp 2012

This summer ELT Banbury launches its exciting new project for young learners!

In July and Aubust 2012 we will be organizing a unique English summer camp for students (kids and teens) aged 12 to 16. The program will be a combination of leisure, fun, culture and top quality teaching from a British Council accredited school.

The minimum English language course duration is 1 week.

Banbury is a traditional Oxfordshire market town situated in the “golden triangle” between Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Oxford. Lots of visitors come to Oxfordshire to experience the urban delights of Oxford, with it's colleges or to visit the birthplace of Shakespeare. Oxfordshire also has delightful countryside to offer with outstanding pretty villages dotted along the banks of the Oxford Canal. Students can enjoy themselves at the sport & leisure facilities in town, spend a day out playing sports or picnicking in the lovely Peoples’ Park just minutes from the school or live a traditional British holiday experience taking a cruise on the Oxford Canal in one of the famous narrow boats. In the case of young students an undisputable quality of Banbury is the safety of a small town and the fact that everything is within walking distance.

ELT Banbury - our English language school near Oxford, was founded in 1978 and has over 30 years of tradition and know-how in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) industry. To date we have been focusing on and developing our adult English courses and business products, the highest quality of which is confirmed by the British Council accreditation. We are also the only English language school in a highly exclusive town and the only TOEIC Examination Centre in Banbury. Our Clients have always been extremely satisfied with our services and many of them as parents have raised the issue that it is a shame we do not offer a product for young learners in such a fantastic location.

Our English Lessons are in the form of project work, which encourages students to use and present their ideas and findings in English. As teaching levels advance in non-native countries English students expect more from the teaching in native speaking countries. The English projects that students do at ELT Banbury increase the students’ confidence and fluency, preparing them for any situation they may come across in the UK, whether it be going to the doctors of getting lost in a big city. A lot of students at ELT Banbury go on to study in English Universities and gain greatly from understanding the teaching techniques of the UK and the importance of good learner training. The projects students produce vary from radio programs and videos to designing and producing their own websites in English, and all this is done with fun, learning and confidence building incorporated.
