They learn without realizing they're studying
During the week, students work with the vocabulary and expressions related to the situation we’ve set them. When Thursday comes and it’s time to present, they’ve already internalized it. There’s no cramming the night before: the learning has happened while they researched and discussed.
That’s what active learning does. Most of what they absorb during the project sticks, because they’ve used it with a purpose instead of memorizing it for an exam. When they face that situation in real life, the language will be there.
Projects are designed around teenagers’ tastes and interests, not a syllabus. That’s why they find the course entertaining and stimulating, which at this age is half the battle.
What is the summer intensive course for teens like?
It’s a course based on active English practice for teenagers. Every week we set situations from different areas of life in Barcelona and Catalonia today, which students have to analyze, solve or compare with what happens in other cities, regions or countries.
Since the projects are based on real situations, it’s easy for them to relate and get involved. And when they’re involved, the English comes naturally: both speaking and writing improve, because they need both to complete the project.
We work from A1 to C2, in groups of 4 to 9 people formed by real level. You can do one fortnight or the whole month.
