English summer camp in Bulgaria,Turkey, England for international students
Teachers are hardworking people, sacrificing their time and energy for the benefit of their students. Their task is helping students to achieve their full potential. Their reward is knowing that every student has been given the best opportunities to prepare them for adult life. We appreciate and welcome teachers to the Programme.
We recommend at least one teacher or group leader for every 15 students, but this is not a fixed rule. We can also accommodate smaller groups. We believe the following benefits may be of interest to teachers:
• One free place for a teacher/group leader with every 15 students
• Teachers/group leader's own child can attend the ELACP camp at 25% discount (one child)
• Teachers/group leaders are welcome to take part in most activities and trips free of charge
Taking Students to the ELACP Centre
The English Language and culture programme was designed for students to attend in groups with their teachers. This way each student can feel safe and secure with a familiar adult. The teacher will know his/her student's character and abilities better than anyone. If it is an English language teacher, then the teacher's advice is invaluable when it comes to placing the student in the correct study group. We also rely on the teacher to inform us if any student has special needs. Teachers will have responsibility for their groups while at the ELACP centre, but will have free time when the students are being tutored by our own staff or taking part in organised activities.
Schedule
The ELACP summer school/camp takes place in July and August. Dates in June can only be arranged by special request. Teachers are welcome to suggest any aspects of the curriculum that they would like their students to cover at the summer school, and we will try to implement these. The London programme is all year round. There are fixed date camps during Summer, Autumn and Winter. Specialty programmes are available for group bookings on request, on dates chosen by group organisers.
English Language Tuition
The programme completely immerses the student in studying English. While at the Summer School, students are learning English all day, every day. Each morning comprises of classroom based English tuition where fully qualified teachers teach carefully selected sections of the curriculum. They use approved textbooks, as well as audio and visual teaching aids, and creative methods. The teachers can also be assisted English tutors, who help the students with individual one-one tuition, helping with pronunciation, reading and conversation skills. Each student is given an approved English assessment test on the first day to decide his/her level of English and then placed in a group which is appropriate to his/her level and age group. The average class size is 15 students to each qualified teacher and classroom assistant. Each student keeps a workbook and diary showing the various aspects of their stay at the ELACP Centre.
Certificates
We offer study of the IELTS course on the 4 week Summer Camp programme. The course is for 60 hours over the four weeks. There is an additional fee for the IELTS study course. We can arrange the exam at the British Council offices at a date that is convenient for the student. The exam fee has to be paid direct to the British Council. Teachers should inform us about students who want to study for IELTS before they come to Camp, so that they can be put into the appropriate study group. Many English teachers will know that the IELTS certificate is compulsory for students wishing to study higher education in an English speaking country, such as the United Kingdom, America, Australia or Canada. The IELTS curriculum tests the student's ability to communicate fluently in reading, writing and speaking English. The ELACP course is invaluable to students who want to practice their conversation skills for the IELTS exam. A certificate of attendance will be presented to every student who attends the ELACP programme. We also issue certificates of a achievement for exceptional students.
Activities and Entertainment
Of course, the easiest and most memorable way to learn any language is through social interaction with native speakers. English films, Music and indoor games take place most evenings. There are cultural trips, nature trail and other enjoyable activities. All activities take place in small groups organised by an English speaking team leader. See Typical timetable
