English language study trip: learn English where it is spoken
An English language stay lets you immerse yourself in the language where it is part of everyday life. English courses in the language area have the advantage that you also have to use English outside the classroom - in contact with your hostess, fellow students from all over the world, when ordering drinks in the pub, etc. You will be immediately rewarded for your efforts to learn the language, develop your feeling for the language, internalize many idioms and reduce language barriers.
English language courses are offered in the UK and USA, Australia, New Zealand, Malta, South Africa and other parts of the world. There are programs for all ages, levels and interests, for example:
- One, two or up to six-week vacation courses for children, teenagers and entire families
- Vacation courses for adults (over 40, over 50, senior citizens) with a focus on conversation, culture and regional studies, including a leisure program and excursions
- Diploma courses lasting several months to prepare for an internationally recognized English diploma (Cambridge, TOEFL, IELTS)
- Intensive courses for individuals or groups (e.g. members of companies or organizations) with 30-40 lessons per week Business English for various professions and functions
- Exchange years for young people in student exchange programs
- Stays lasting several months that combine learning English with a job or volunteer placement abroad
Accommodation for English language stays is preferably with a host family arranged by the school or in a hall of residence. Depending on the type of course, the costs for school, accommodation and meals are included in the course fee, sometimes even those for return flights and on-site support. Some offers only cover the costs of language lessons. Travel and accommodation can then be arranged individually.
The providers you will find here are mostly local agencies that are in contact with language schools all over the world. They have often known their partner schools for a long time, regularly check the conditions and offers on site and are therefore a good point of contact for anyone interested in an English language study trip.
If you want to improve your English skills in the stimulating atmosphere of a mixed international class in the language area, an English language study trip is the right place for you. Here you can satisfy your curiosity about the country and its people, different lifestyles, customs and habits. At the same time, such a stay offers the ideal environment to prepare for a certificate in English as a foreign language - whether for better qualifications on the job market or for university admission in an English-speaking country.
