The benefits of language immersion in learning are widely recognised, as documented by the Association of Language Learners, and so form a fundamental aspect of our language school trips.
Over the course of your language immersion programme, our native instructors will lead the group entirely in the target language on a range of activities, be it a cooking a local dish, building a raft or reflecting on their day in their journal. This promotes the application of new vocabulary and understanding through discussion and questioning, with additional writing opportunities available in the exclusive workbooks offered as part of our language trips.
Beyond the typical school trip to France, Spain or Germany, our programmes truly immerse learners with native speaking instructors to lead all activities and excursions, giving students authentic exposure to the language during their time with us.
Below, you can see these additional educational outcomes delivered by our language programmes in comparison to conventional school trips.
