YLE Summer English School

Intensive English Lessons

British Side team is preparing a fun and learning-focused environment for students. Students are encouraged to use their existing English language skills while learning new ones in an exciting and communicative atmosphere. The lessons include various different activities and aim to improve the main language skills, such as reading, writing, listening and speaking. The students are always at the centre of the activities and they are encuraged to use what they are learning.

What we expect from the students at all age groups and levels:

• to enjoy the lessons by using their imagination and creativitiy,
• to achieve clearer communication in English through improving their English perception skills,
• to reach their full potentials by improving their independent learning skills.

In order to help students reach these goals we encourage them and improve their motivation through the use of various materials, techniques and in-class activities. Following methods are used for this purpose:

• Various interaction models,
• Games, drama, songs,
• Projects and activities for the movies they watch.
