Cooking workshop in English
Inspired by shows like MasterChef, it’s our students’ favourite workshop. Participants prepare recipes following instructions in English, and along the way they pick up vocabulary and expressions that stick because they’re linked to something concrete: measuring, cutting, mixing, waiting. And then they taste what they’ve made, which is the best motivation there is to get a teenager to take part.
Drama workshop in English
Drama builds language skills and confidence in equal measure, which is exactly what’s missing at that age. Students dive into improv games, performances and creative activities, and end up speaking English in front of others without the pressure of doing it in a conventional class. It’s the workshop with the most noticeable impact on speaking.
Robotics workshop in English
Technology hooks them, and here we use it as an excuse. Students build and program robots, solve challenges and work in teams, with all the instructions and communication in English. They improve their technical vocabulary and their ability to explain a process, one of the hardest things to achieve in a language classroom.
Crafts workshop in English
Creative activities where students practise the language while exploring different art techniques and working with a variety of materials. As well as vocabulary and expressions, the workshops develop concentration, attention and teamwork. It works especially well with students who freeze when they have to speak without their hands busy.
Science experiments workshop in English
Hands-on, surprising experiments with scientific vocabulary in English. Students explore real principles, from mixing substances to triggering chemical reactions, and have to describe what they observe and predict what will happen. It’s the workshop that fits best with schools that already teach subjects in English or work on projects.
