Junior Holiday Programme

JUNIOR HOLIDAY PROGRAMME
FOR UNDER 18s

WHAT IS A JUNIOR HOLIDAY PRPOGRAMME?

This is a programme of English lessons, trips and activities for 4 or more students who are under 18 years old.
You can book this programme only if there are a minimum of 4 students who are of a similar age and language level and who can study during the same time.

Parents and/or teachers can book the Junior Holiday Programme any time during the year subject to sufficient notice.

Students who attend the junior holiday programme will:

join face2face lessons from Monday to Friday each week
attend supervised mid week activities outside the classroom aimed to enhance their English Language skills
go on one supervised full day trip each week

WHY CHOOSE ELH:

Students who study with us say that they enjoy their lessons and make good progress. They think that ELH is a good school with friendly staff and good teachers. They especially like the small classes and the programmes we offer.
They tell us that English language house is a good place to study because:

we have teachers who are committed, dedicated, trained professionals with a vast pool of experience
we assess students very carefully and only accept students who are genuine about learning, so you will not be in a class with students who are all different levels or with students who do not want to be there!
we care about our students, we meet and talk to them about their progress at least every 5 weeks and we work hard to make sure that they achieve their full potential
our teachers teach our students, they don't just teach a “set book" or " set syllabus", so our students know that they will learn what you need and not just what's in the book or in the syllabus that week !!!
we have a very flexible study programme so our students can choose what classes are best for them and how much they want to spend
our British Council report noted our Teaching as a “strength”.

ENGLISH LEVELS:

Pre A1 - You are starter level and have very little or no English.

A1/A2 - You are lower level. You have some English but you do not feel very comfortable when you try to speak English or you try to listen to others who are speaking English.

B1/B2 - You are higher level. Your English is quite good and you can understand when you hear English people speaking but you are not always comfortable to join the conversation.

C1/C2 - Your English is quite strong. You can understand most day to day conversations in English and you feel comfortable to participate. However when the language becomes more complicated and you need to express more complex ideas you may find this more difficult to do.

ACCOMMODATION FOR UNDER 16s

We are unable to provide accommodation for pupils wo are under 16 years old.

VISA STUDENTS

Students who need a visa to study in England will need to read the visa information page on our website and fill in and return the visa form, found in the Under 18s Registration form so that English Language House can consider their application as a visa student.

TEACHERS AT ELH

Teachers who work at ELH are qualified and experienced EFL professionals.

All our teachers have the CELTA qualification, or equivalent, and many also have the Delta (a postgraduate qualification in teaching English to Foreign students).
Some are also teacher trainers and teach on our CELTA and Delta courses.
Some are assessors for Cambridge English and some have worked as examiners for FCE, CAE, CPE and IELTS exams.

HOW WE HELP YOU CHOOSE YOUR COURSE

The level test
We ask pupils to do a level test. This will tell us your current level of English. After this we may speak to you or your parents to find out what you want to do. Then we will suggest a programme that is suitable for your level and your English language needs.

If you need to prepare for an exam we can help you with this too.

We want everyone who studies at English language house to enjoy their lessons and to improve their English language skills.
