Course description

Access to Language Studies offers 2, 3, 4-week programs. Our creative and innovative
curriculum blossoms in a small classroom environment. The communicative interaction
combined with the learning opportunities outside the classroom is extremely effective.
Involvement with extracurricular activities and events during our camp can often be as
meaningful and significant as the content learned within the classroom. We feel that our
planned events, trips, and social gatherings, along with a great classroom curriculum will
deliver the ideal learning experience.

The program focuses on a rich and balanced curriculum that draws connections between
language, culture, and current events therefore supporting all dimensions of language
learning and teaching. Communicative Language Teaching and Task-based learning
activities offer plenty opportunities for language use and the linguistic content of the courses
is rich, diverse, and motivating.

English Levels:

BASIC

HIGH INTERMEDIATE
Able to understand almost all conversations spoken at a normal pace without repetitions, including discussions within the individuals occupation and interests; readily understands phone conversations and broadcasts, but still experiences some difficulty with very fast speech, slang and cultural references.
