Course Overview

Earlscliffe’s English Language programme develops all four key language skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — through engaging morning sessions. Students take part in grammar practice, comprehension exercises, and interactive language activities that build accuracy, fluency, and confidence.

Afternoon sessions are project-based and encourage creativity through a variety of mediums, including drama, music, film, arts and crafts, and debating for more advanced learners. These projects help students use English in imaginative and collaborative ways while developing communication and teamwork skills.

Day trips are closely linked to classroom learning, with students preparing for excursions through cultural and historical study. Afterwards, they complete follow-up writing tasks such as reviews and reflections, reinforcing vocabulary and understanding while bringing language learning to life.
