Supreme Summer English Adventure Language Course for Teenagers at Headington School Campus in Oxford

Course Description: Supreme Summer English Adventure Language Course for Teenagers at Headington School Campus in Oxford

Course Description

English Adventurers is a two-week programme for students at every stage of language learning, from A1 to C1. Lessons are interactive and practical, helping you build the skills you need to use English with confidence. You’ll work on grammar, vocabulary, speaking and writing in ways that connect directly to real communication.

Learning happens inside and outside the classroom. You’ll take part in discussions, roleplay, storytelling and collaborative projects that make language practice engaging and memorable. Excursions and fieldwork give you the chance to test your skills in authentic settings, turning the city into an extension of your classroom.

By the end of the course, you’ll notice real progress in fluency, accuracy and confidence. With guidance from experienced tutors, you’ll leave with a stronger command of English and the confidence to use it in academic settings, international exams, or everyday conversation.

• Module 1: Communication in action - Develop your speaking and listening skills through debates, role-plays and real-world scenarios. You’ll learn how to express ideas clearly, respond with confidence, and adapt your language to different contexts, from casual conversation to formal discussion.

• Module 2: Language for Exploration - Build your reading and writing skills through projects that connect with culture, history and current events. From creative writing to article drafting, you’ll strengthen your ability to communicate in writing while expanding your vocabulary and understanding of English in context.

• Module 3: English Beyond the Classroom - Take learning outside into the city and campus. Fieldwork tasks, interviews and collaborative projects turn language into a tool for discovery, helping you use English naturally and authentically in real-world settings.
