Summer English courses for students

  • Age of students: 13-17 years
  • Duration: 2-4 weeks.

Universal language course will help to comprehensively improve all the main, key language skills and abilities:

  • Grammar
  • Reading
  • Auditing (listening comprehension)
  • Vocabulary
  • Written speech
  • Oral speech (spoken English)
  • Phonetics (correct pronunciation, accent correction)
  • Improve communication skills.

The intensity of the studying is 20 lessons per week: on weekdays from 9:00 to 12:30 (with a break for lunch from 10:40 to 11:00). In addition, students are expected to attend thematic sessions devoted to the culture and history of the United States, interesting debates, meetings and discussions: this is an ideal opportunity to quickly progress in oral speech, to quickly get rid of the accent and language barrier, to significantly expand the vocabulary. Electives are usually held on Tuesdays and Thursdays (13: 30-15: 00).

Before the beginning of the education, all students undergo testing of the level of knowledge and are divided into classes: so the study becomes not only more effective and productive, but also more comfortable for the pupils. In total, 4 levels of complexity are provided: for the summer program pupils with the most different level of preparation can arrive - from Elementary to Advanced. A small number of students in the classroom (8-10 people maximum) allows each teacher to practice an individual approach, to carefully monitor all the progress of students, to correct the time course in case of difficulties with a certain topic or language aspect.

What is the camper-to-staff ratio, and how are behavioral issues managed?

We maintain a low camper-to-staff ratio to ensure personalized attention and supervision. Our staff members are trained to handle behavioral issues with patience, understanding, and appropriate disciplinary measures when necessary.

Accommodation, meals, prices

Students of the summer course occupy rooms in their own university residences: they are usually double rooms with a full set of furniture, appliances and lighting (1 bathroom is designed for every 4 rooms). Board meals are provided to students every day, even on days of excursions and trips (except for lunch on weekends, they are paid separately). Students are around the clock under the supervision of educators and teachers (the ratio of adults to students is about 1:12): they fully guarantee the safety and comfort of their wards, help in solving any situations, monitor the observance of cleanliness, order and discipline.

there are no scholarships for summer programs. And if you are talking about a scholarship when entering a university, then they have scholarships, but not full coverage of their studies.
