THE ESSENCE OF ANGLO STUDY HOLIDAYS
Learn, practice and experience English differently.
Courses with dynamic lessons in the classroom, exciting workshops that challenge and engage,
and amazing excursions to make language learning an adventure.
EXCURSIONS
To put into practice all the English students have been learning they need to get out there. Excursions offer a chance to visit the places students have studied, practise their spoken English in a public setting, and explore awesome places.
LEARNING
Communicative, inspiring lessons with material for CEFR levels A1-C1, ANGLO classes have a maximum of 15 students and are designed to build on the knowledge students bring with them, and mesh seamlessly with their stay in the UK.
WORKSHOPS
Carefully tailored sessions which typically start in the classroom for an introduction and language input, then generally students explore campus/the local area to gather information. Finally, the students present to their peers to show what they’ve learned.
SAFETY
Keeping students, staff and group leaders safe is mission critical! Health and safety, safeguarding and security are top of the list.
