English Focus

English Focus uses the latest technology to help 14 - 17 year olds identify their strengths and weaknesses in English in order to achieve their linguistic aims in attending ECS.

Pupils take a multi-skill diagnostic test by computer in their own country before the course begins. This gives an overview of ability in listening, speaking, reading and writing. It is followed by a consultation with our teacher to discuss the results and establish the pupil's linguistic aims in attending ECS. We will advise on suitable materials that pupils can use to prepare for their stay and will recommend and guarantee a place in appropriate educational workshops at ECS. This information is shared with the pupils' teachers at ECS who will check to make sure the pupil is on track with their learning.

After returning home, pupils receive a follow-up consultation to review their learning and advise on the best ways of continuing their progress.

English Focus is available at a cost of GBP 190 for boys and girls aged 14 - 17.
