English Immersion Programmes

These programmes re-enact life in an English-speaking community in which participants immerse themselves with the aim of gaining confidence in their command of the target language.
The English Immersion Programmes have two main areas which are developed during each event, and which are closely intertwined in the finely designed plot of the programme.

Staff: Our Staff is made up exclusively by native speakers, all of them university students and graduates who join us through our International Exchange Programme.

• Social Area. It deals with aspects of every-day life in an English-speaking country: customs, banking, shopping, getting around, mealtime situations, etc.
• Cultural Area. Participants immerse themselves not only in the language, but also in the atmosphere within which -and due to which- the target language is 'naturally' used as a means of communication.
Participants take active part in the unfolding of the adventure. They have left the classroom to explore the 'real world'.
They exchange money at the bank, buy and sell goods at the shop, work as journalists or sports assistants. They also go beyond every-day life and explore the roots of the cultures of the English-speaking communities: they become knights in King Arthur´s Medieval England, international spies in Mission: Impossible, outlaws in Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest, native Americans in a Pow Wow, mythological characters in a Celtic endeavour, or suspects and detectives in a murder game.
They play, explore, sweat, get dirty, compete, reach goals, co-operate and discover the joy of learning. In brief, they learn by doing, by lending themselves to the challenge of self-education.

Prom Trips are tailor made projects which blend the English Immersion Programmes with a variety of cultural, social, sporting and recreational challenges. It caters to groups of students and schools in search of an alternative End-Of-Term round-up trip.
The Prom Trips are designed following a careful assessment of the group's needs, interests, ages, levels of proficiency and budget. These trips are ideal for groups with an interest in the English language and culture. Bilingual schools and language schools have now a choice which blends fun, intensive practice of the language, and involvement in first-hand cultural challenges.
