ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUMMER COURSE FOR 15 TO 18 YEAR OLDS

Updated: 14 September, 2024

With over 20 years of experience specialising in the teaching of English language courses to foreign students, we are renowned for providing friendly English lessons taught by qualified native speaking teachers.

The LITE Regal English language summer course is designed for students who’s first language is not English and has been developed by EFL experts, exclusively for LITE Regal Summer School, to ensure you receive the best tuition whilst studying with us. The course offers tailored support to ambitious young people seeking to improve their English language and gain skills for university and beyond. It is offered in small groups and is taught by native English speaking teachers, who all have at least a bachelor’s degree, are TEFL qualified and have minimum of two years of ESL teaching experience.

Coupled with cultural activities and excursions outside classroom, you are encouraged to express your ideas and practise the relevant vocabulary and grammar, helping you to develop both your English language proficiency and confidence.

Highly educated and experienced TEFL tutors who will teach you an intensive English summer course will improve your all-round language ability and help you to communicate more fluently and effectively in English. You will improve your understanding of written and spoken English. You will improve your pronunciation and gain confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing. You will also develop a greater awareness of grammar structure and vocabulary.

The academic part of the English language summer course consists of over 20 hours of tuition per week and concentrates on the key elements of the English language:

• Reading: you will be exposed and shown how to deal with many different types of reading materials from newspapers to business letters
• Writing: you will be taught all the different writing styles of not only creative writing but also formal and business forms too, allowing you therefore to write anything in English if you choose so
• Speaking: your speaking ability will improve as you do and we at LITE Regal Summer School feel that this is an important part of each lesson. We make sure that you practice and improve your communicative skills at every opportunity
• Listening: listening comprehension is a very important element of the English language course. Improving the listening comprehension will help in both your social and study / work life. That is why we pay special attention to it
• Grammar: grammar is the building block of any language. We cover all areas of grammar at all levels
• Vocabulary: vocabulary is the cornerstone of your English. We use creative ways to help you memorize English vocabulary in more fun way. Vocabulary for specific situations will be covered

Formal progress tests are taken throughout the course, providing you with the opportunity of continuous feedback on your progress.

The wide range of afternoon and evening activities and cultural trips that complement this English language course are extremely beneficial to our English language students. They will enable you to practise the use of English while having fun with your classmates. You’ll get to try your newly acquired English skills in real situations outside the classroom be it shopping, sightseeing or going to see a West End musical.

This intensive course is ideal for participants who only have 2 to 4 weeks. The course is only available at Pre-Intermediate to Proficiency Level of English(CPE).

The main emphasis of this course is on practical communication to build up your vocabulary and help to develop fluency and confidence.

After School Activities

There is so much going on in London and Cambridge and we don’t think you’ll be bored. After classes you’ll have a range of activities to enjoy too.
Here are a few examples of the kind of activities you might have the opportunity to enjoy this summer:
visiting London Eye, Madame Tussauds or the famous Houses of Parliament, film nights, punting down the river, visiting a West End Theatre, themed parties, sports including tennis, swimming, dancing and many more.

Free Time

We understand that students will want some free time to relax, attend to personal administration and contact their families. Some free time will be provided for rest and relaxation, however, we believe the most valuable experience to the student is a fully immersive, packed programme of activities and so students should expect to be engaged in team activities for the majority of time.

You will be accommodated in one of the College campuses. You will be allocated a room, usually sharing a twin room with another student of the same gender. Typically students will be accommodated on single-sex corridors or floors, with staff members and mentors always available on site. Living all together is a great way to make friends and sample the university lifestyle, as the welcoming environment allows you to develop a sense of community.

Breakfast and lunch is served and eaten in the College dining hall, which provides a bright and comfortable space for communal meals. Students will enjoy a varied and healthy diet: all meals are freshly prepared and special diets can be catered for with advance notice. A three-course dinner is provided daily either in the College dining hall, or in various restaurants as part of the social programme.

Safety and Security on Campus

Students will be overseen by our course leaders and residential staff to classes and activities, who ensure that students are looked after pastorally and socially during their summer school programme and are available to assist students at any time of the day or night.

All students will be issued with emergency contact details for staff members and will be given a full safety briefing on arrival.

LITE Regal Summer School offers a safe and secure environment that is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by our friendly and professional team. We have a dedicated team of Managers, Teachers and College Mentors. The welfare of our students is our main priority at all times and our staff specialise in the pastoral care of older teenagers.

Management Team

Our Management team is headed by the College Principal, who takes responsibility for the daily running of the summer school, and supervises the Academic Programme. The Social & Welfare Manager takes charge of the summer school Social Programme and is supported by a team of College Mentors, who ensure everyone is happy, safe and having fun.

Working together, our Managers ensure that every aspect of the summer school runs smoothly, safely and offers every student the chance to participate fully.
