Course Purpose and Intended Learning Outcomes – Junior Summer Camps

Purpose

The purpose of our Junior Programmes is to provide young learners with an engaging and supportive environment to improve their English language skills. By following a structured syllabus based on the CEFR scale, the camp aims to help students achieve measurable progress in their language proficiency. These programmes are designed not only to enhance students’ academic abilities but also to build their confidence and enthusiasm for using English in everyday situations. Through interactive activities such as group discussions, roleplays, and projects, along with an intercultural element that exposes students to diverse cultures and perspectives, the camp seeks to create a holistic learning experience. In addition, for those staying with host families, the immersion will provide authentic opportunities to practise English and engage in cultural exchange, further enriching their understanding and appreciation of the language and its cultural context.

Each programme features a diverse activity program, where our experienced leaders guide students on visits to places of interest, facilitating experiential learning and cultural appreciation. In addition to visiting cultural sites, the camp includes sports, recreational activities, and fun interactive sessions designed to promote teamwork, creativity, and engagement.

Some programmes offer additional study hours, a focus on certain sports such as horse riding or sailing, allowing for a more tailored experience with specific purpose.
