Intensive Course (17-20)


Echo Language School





Description


This course is only for higher-level students, those considered 'advanced' by ECHO standards. You should be prepared for a hard-working, academically focussed visit to the school. We can also offer preparation for TOEFL or IELTS, both of which can be taken locally. Each week day there are four classes in total, typically three in the morning and one in the afternoon. All our teachers are qualified professionals, chosen for their special abilities with advanced students. Writing and analysis skills are the main focus of the intensive programme. Students work on critical appraisal of texts, improve their vocabulary and structure and test their skills on pieces of extended commentary. Those studying for IELTS or TOEFL also have individual test-focus work. There is still room for an enjoyable work/ social mix at ECHO. Alongside the Senior Students, those on the Intensive Course can join in the evening programmes on offer. These typically include billiard-hall visits and the cinema. There is a weekly 'project' to encourage everyone to work with students from different classes, usually either designing a poster- presentation or making a film. On Saturday there is an excursion, alternating between London and another famous city, for example Canterbury or Portsmouth.

Entry Requirements
