Overview

The English Language & Culture Summer School has been designed to provide those who take part with opportunities to experience learning in a variety of environments.  It offers a unique opportunity to enhance current English Language skills and to engender confidence in using English in different settings to ultimately delight friends and family or even provide the motivation to use new skills professionally and commercially

Cultural elements of the programme will expose the participants to using English to arrange travel by public transport, gain access to venues, order food and go shopping.  This two week programme will provide an engaging and unique learning experience for those who participate. 

The Summer School programme is designed to provide participants with a platform to experience Scotland’s biggest and most vibrant city.   

The fee includes 4 coordinated and staff supported external visits to 2 locations near Glasgow, the City of Edinburgh and a “tourist” day out at the Falkirk Wheel and the “Kelpies”

Participants will have the opportunity to undertake a visit to other UK locations (including London) during the middle weekend of the Summer School (not included in fee).

This course runs over 5 days from Monday to Friday.

Minimum entry requirements

There are no minimum entry requirements for the College’s Summer Schools.  Those who attend need to have a basic level of competence in English as the Summer School will be delivered in English.

Participants from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) are required to follow the guidance provided for visas here.

What you study

Those who attend will use many of the industry standard locations and facilities available in both the City Campus and our Riverside Campus and they'll participate in organising trips and visits outside of the College. 

Our participants will enhance their knowledge and skills in English with a focus on using techniques and skills developed under the direction of award-winning staff.

After the course

The skills you develop will provide you with basic knowledge and understanding of English Language & Culture.

Participants will be able to find out about part-time and full-time courses provided by the College that may be of interest.

How the course is taught

Staff will use a variety of locations in the College for English Language skills development including its traditional classrooms; they will also use cafes, gym and games halls, training kitchens, art studios, etc to “theme” some of the learning.  

On this Summer School those who attend will develop their skills in the English Language through a variety of visits, methods and learning techniques and will be working with the same staff that helped our full-time students achieve excellent results in both academic studies and competitions during 2016.
