the learning

experience

At EC we have high academic standards. With well-designed courses, dedicated teachers and great learning materials, we help students become confident speakers of the language. All our young learner programmes include 20 lessons per week. Each one is 45 minutes long, and classes consist of a maximum of 15 students. On the first day of school, students sit a placement test to determine their level and ensure they are in the right class for their ability. In bright, spacious and modern classrooms they enjoy interactive lessons and develop all four language skills: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.

Each lesson is based on a different topic, with a focus on learning the language needed in real life situations. Students explore a variety of themes about the world around them. Our highly qualified teachers create dynamic lessons which encourage participation. Through games and activities students learn more effectively. Teachers use authentic examples of language from newspapers, film, music and the internet, preparing students to communicate in the global community. amazing activities

Our action-packed activity programmes are specially tailored to show students the best of their destination, whilst enjoying time with their new friends outside the classroom. Activities include a mix of sightseeing, sports, the arts, shopping and relaxation. > > > > > >

friends from around the world The students on our young learner programmes come from over 80 different countries. This ensures that as they communicate and have fun together, they are also practising their newly acquired language skills, as well as learning about people with different cultural backgrounds.

People would think that EC is just about learning English. But actually it is more… it is about turning complete strangers into your family, and improving your English while talking and having fun! I love to communicate with students from all around the world and discover new cultures. I’ll surely have positive memories of this stay. Anna Helena, 16 years old from Switzerland.

This was my fourth time in Cambridge and it kept its quality – the teachers are great and the social leaders are funny. During my four years coming to Cambridge, my English speaking skills have improved drastically. I came here for the speaking and that’s what I got. I’m pretty sure I’ll come back next year! Martin, 16 years old from Czech Republic.

I chose EC in London because it had an excellent programme and the campus was gorgeous. Before coming here I couldn’t understand even a single word with the British accent, but now I understand and can say things. These two weeks were the best in my whole summer, or maybe in my entire life!

Jiaer Zhang, 15 years old from China.
