6 - 8 year olds are placed into groups according to their age
and level of English. They have already started to develop
their reading, speaking, writing and listening skills in their
own language and are at the perfect age to learn a second
or in some cases a third or subsequent language. They love
to learn and participate in the many language activities which
encourage them to communicate in another language.
OLDER PUPILS
Teachers concentrate on teaching the English language, to
the older pupils, based on real-life situations and scenarios.
A broad range of vocabulary is taught and a daily Science
lesson encourages students to extend and improve their
vocabulary whilst performing fun experiments, learning
about animals and their habitats, the solar system and
environmental issues. Students also participate in role
plays, team building activities and drama based activities to
ensure a total immersion in the language. We aim to keep
the lessons interesting and diverse promoting an excellent
environment for learning languages.
English classes are organised according to age and ability
and in all age groups there are four levels ensuring that your
child is placed at the right level. Students will be moved
within these groups if the level is found to be inappropriate.
At the beginning of the course students are required to
complete an examination in English to ascertain their level.
Class sizes are kept to a maximum of no more than ten
pupils per class.12

The Lady Elizabeth School l SUMMER COURSES 2019The Lady Elizabeth School l SUMMER COURSES 2019 15 Intensive English The Intensive English Course is designed for students who want to concentrate solely on learning English. The course revolves around the four language skills; reading, writing, listening and a lot of emphasis is placed on the fourth skill, speaking. We prepare students for upcoming exams and specialise in the preparation for the prestigious Cambridge English Examinations for students studying English as another language. The programme, as stated, is intensive so we have included activities which still concentrate solely on the use of English, but are designed to enhance the use of the language in a more practical situation. Role plays include everyday occurrences, such as job interviews, purchasing tickets, asking for directions and other possible situations which will all help with future education, travel, careers and everyday communication in English. Subjects such as; History, Geography, and Global Issues are also studied during the lessons which expand vocabularies and provide a much broader understanding of the language. One lesson per day is dedicated to science where students conduct interesting and fun experiments, learn specific scientific terms and study science related topics. English classes are organised according to the individual student’s level and the examination which the pupil is specifically aiming for. Classes will be conducted concentrating on the different Cambridge Examination Levels including KET (Key English Test Level A2), PET (Preliminary English Test Level B1), Cambridge First Certificate B2, Cambridge Advanced Certificate C1 and Cambridge English Proficiency C2. Class sizes are kept to a maximum of ten students per class. Students will be expected to prepare and present PowerPoint presentations on a variety of subjects which they will have to research and investigate. During speaking lessons they will be filmed and given individual feedback on their performance. Grammar lessons will be interesting and taught in a very practical way. Throughout the course pupils will complete practice examination papers and exercises, in all skills, which will help in their exam preparation. During the Intensive English Course individual student’s progress is monitored very closely. Where areas of weakness are detected more focus will be given to that specific skill. Parents will be informed of the students’ progress and a final report will be issued at the completion of the course. The report will contain information regarding the student’s level, the work they have completed and a recommendation regarding which examination the child should sit and which areas need improvement. Courses are available in two or four week blocks.

The Lady Elizabeth School l SUMMER COURSES 2019The Lady Elizabeth School l SUMMER COURSES 2019 17 Spanish Lessons What better location to learn Spanish than in Spain itself. We offer an exciting Spanish Course taught by native Spanish speakers. Classes for all age groups are available. Ability levels are ascertained and students are placed into groups according to both their age and also their ability. Students studying Spanish will also complete basic lessons in science, and study history and geography as part of their Spanish lessons. The beginner level focuses on vocabulary, grammar rules and the structure of the language. Many topics will be explored and students will learn how to greet people, introduce themselves,and become familiar with words and phrases associated with everyday conversation. Intermediate classes are intended to extend students beyond basic vocabulary and grammar and take them to the next stage. Lessons will be based on the four skills; writing, reading, listening and speaking. Once again particular attention will be placed on the speaking skill to encourage students to communicate in Spanish and feel comfortable in doing so. Advanced classes are for students who already have a good level of Spanish and are looking at improving on this level. They may be studying for specific exams; such as GCSE Spanish, and need their skills to be polished to get them ready for these exams. Classes will revolve around the four language skills, reading, writing, speaking and listening with a greater emphasis on communication skills. Students will be required to research a topic and give presentations to fellow class members. Staying With a Spanish Host Family Students learning Spanish have the added advantage of staying with a Spanish Host Family. This helps to reinforce what has been learnt in Spanish language classes during the Summer School programme. Students will return to the host family in the evening and continue to speak Spanish. Similar to our British Host Families, our Spanish Host Families are also committed to helping to teach your child another language. In a home situation students learn the language at a different level and it is a very natural way of developing language skills. At the same time students will be enjoying a different cultural experience as they sample the Spanish way of life. Intensive Spanish Courses Intensive Spanish Courses are available to students who would like to concentrate solely on studying Spanish without participating in other activities. Eight lessons of Spanish per day will enhance their language skills greatly and help prepare them for any upcoming examinations. To break up the week there will be a cultural tour each Wednesday where students will visit Valencia, Xativa and local towns to visit museums, castles, markets, cathedrals and many other special places of interest. These excursions will be conducted only in Spanish and are a great way to help develop a student’s understanding of the Spanish language.

The Lady Elizabeth School l SUMMER COURSES 2019The Lady Elizabeth School l SUMMER COURSES 2019 21 Staying With a Host Family Lasting friendships are made during Summer School especially between students who stay with a Host Family. We have many native British families living in close proximity to The Lady Elizabeth School. We have a number of Spanish families available for students who want to learn or improve their Spanish over the summer. What better way to reinforce the language taught during the day at Summer School than to go home and continue to speak in English with English people or Spanish with Spanish people. Our Host Families are committed to helping your child to extend their vocabulary and knowledge of English and develop an understanding of the language during ‘real-life situations’ as well as looking after them in a caring manner and ensuring that they really enjoy their summer! We personally choose the British or Spanish Family which is most suited to your child’s needs. All families are assessed and we have the up-most trust in them. We look at the family situation and the common hobbies and interests that your children and the Host Family may have. We encourage the Host Families to participate in a series of games and activities which help to strengthen the relationship between your child and the Host Family and also encourages speaking in the target language. On the Sunday before the course commences you have the opportunity to meet with your child’s Host Family in a relaxed environment. Our staff members closely monitor the Host Families and the students and ensure that everyone is happy and they regularly communicate this feedback to the parents. Staying with a Host Family, in such a wonderful environment where the sun doesn’t stop shining and the beach is just around the corner creates an excellent atmosphere conducive to learning another language.

A Day in the Life of
Our Students
Students wake up in the house of their Host Family and are
immediately speaking and communicating in the target
language. They travel to School either in the car, with their
Host Family, or on the school bus. The School day begins
at 09.30 and includes four interesting and quality language
lessons, and four fun activities including; Sport or Dance,
Drama, Swimming, Art and Cooking. During lunch-time
lunch is eaten in the School Cafeteria and then the students
can participate in football or basketball matches, play
table tennis or badminton in the gym, join one of the many
supervised activities or just relax whilst they are waiting for
the afternoon lessons to begin. At 16.30, after a busy but
rewarding day, pupils return to their Host Family either via
car or the school bus. Upon returning to the house they will
enjoy dinner with their Host Family and can practise what
they have learnt during the School day.
On Thursday night the residential students stay at School
to enjoy a pool party and a disco followed by a meal and
then they return to their Host family. This evening activity is a
great opportunity for the residential children to get together
to help create lasting friendships that always eventuate in
Summer School. Each Saturday a trip to local theme parks
Terra Mitica or Aqualandia is organised and all pupils have
a fun day out with their monitors and members of staff.Summer Courses 2019
