The Standard Course + Sports Programme


Channel School of English





Description


The "Standard" course offers 12 lessons a week divided into four morning and afternoon sessions. Students receive an orientation, induction and level assessment, after which they are placed in a class with students of the same level. Class levels range from Elementary to Upper Intermediate/Advanced and weaker or stronger students can be catered for through one-to-one lessons. We attempt to initiate speech through many media, from pairwork and groupwork to individual presentations, group discussions, debates, role-plays and simulations, and the use of music, drama and games. Our unique Discovering Sports Programme is ideal for those students aged 12 or over who are more energetic and keen to try new pursuits. It offers an exciting introduction to many different sports that can only be enjoyed on the coast and the three three-hour sessions per week are conducted in groups of eight with qualified and experienced instructors. Adventure sports such as surfing, canoeing, coastal traversing, adventure swimming, mountain biking, orienteering and archery are all available and provide a motivating and challenging alternative when students are not in class. Surfing takes place on the Atlantic surfing beaches of North Devon 10 minutes drive from the school, and the adventure swimming and coastal traversing sessions are also conducted locally on North Devon's spectacular, Atlantic, rocky coastline. Canoeing takes place in Ilfracombe's Old Harbour and equipment and special clothing for all the sports activities is provided by Channel School though students are advised to bring two pairs of old trainers/ sports shoes, some casual clothes, a tracksuit, a large beach towel and swimwear. The programme is subject to change as some activities are dependent on weather conditions. The Discovering Sports programme combines with the Standard English course and, in addition, offers one full-day excursion, at least one fully-supervised disco and one other evening activity each week.
