English Curriculum for Groups

Our English curriculum is carefully designed to meet your group’s needs and interests. We will design a specific study programmes to cater for your group’s requirements including cultural, hospitality and business courses etc.‍

All mini-stay study programmes are tailor-made for your group.

Each student is assessed upon arrival and placed into the appropriate English class. Upon completion of the mini-stay, all students receive a graded course certificate of attainment.

Levels & Focus Peak Season (international classes)

Classes are available from elementary to advanced levels. Before arrival, all students complete an online placement test and are assigned to the class that best matches their level of English.

The main focus of all our Group English Courses is on communication through spoken and written English.

Our qualified ESL-teachers (English as a second language) set students clear learning objectives and use the best techniques to provide practice in speaking, writing, listening, reading and grammar for the English language.

Levels & Focus Mini-Stay (closed groups)

During the low season months (September to June) we offer mini-stays for closed groups of students. Here, students are tested and the most appropriate group level is assigned. The curriculum can specifically be designed to meet the group’s needs and each student receives a certificate of attainment and exit report on completion of the mini-stay programme.

During the English lessons, students will:

• Engage in activities around communication
• Develop and improve your ability to speak, listen, read, and write in English
• Build cultural awareness through authentic texts and materials
• Be assessed on an ongoing basis, learning at a pace best suited to your needs
