Our courses are open to all 11-16 year olds who choose to study English as a second language.
“Our focus is to develop and improve the four key English language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Fun-based classroom learning and practical activities encourage children to work collaboratively with their peers as well as helping them gain confidence in their language ability.”
To support all ages, common interests and learning patterns, our lessons tend to adopt a practical approach and involve out-of-classroom activities. This helps pupils to develop their language in a natural setting. With a strong emphasis on developing independent study and learning skills, pupils are enabled to continue learning English successfully once they’ve returned home.
Each fortnightly course consists of at least thirty hours of English tuition. (The exact amount of classroom tuition will depend on the age of the individual pupil). This is the primary focus of our summer school curriculum, and is supported by a range of wider STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), creative, sports and general fun teambuilding activities.
Please view our lessons, activities and workshops below for further information on what is included.
Our courses are designed with a strong emphasis on developing our students’ learning skills. We tailor all our tuition to the individual needs of our students, with staff selected carefully to ensure a rigorous approach, consistent with the ethos of Malvern College.
All Malvern College Summer School classes will cover at least 30 hours of formal English language tuition, in a classroom setting. These lessons are taught in small classes with a maximum of 16 pupils, with students separated according to their ability (following an initial test on arrival).
