Teen English Camp

 

Teen English Camp

We are really excited to announce that we will hold a summer camp this year for middle school students! This program focuses on oral English skills for students between the ages of 12 and 15. Classes will run from July 1 through August 28.

A bunch of things make this class pretty unique. Each class is small, with no more than 8 students per class. That means each student has more of a chance to practice speaking. Also, a small class allows us to tailor the course to the specific needs and interests of each participated. Everyone learns better when they are interested in the material and find it useful!

There is a textbook -- Touchtone by Cambridge Press -- but our primary focus is on oral English. This course helps bring out the best in our students, giving them the courage to speak up!

Our English Summer Camp helps students improve their oral expression skills. We also encourage students and parents to tailor their course with the teachers. After the course, students are better able to talk about themselves, to describe objects and to narrate events. Most importantly, they feel more confident in expressing themselves orally in English!
