Most summer school courses in Britain last for two to four weeks. During that time, students live either with a British family, or at the school, or in a hotel. They have about 15 hours of lessens every Monday to Friday -- usually in the mornings. Each school has a lot of different courses. Some are for beginners and others are for intermediate or advanced students. The lessons are fun; the classes are small and the teachers are all from English -speaking countries. But summer school students don’t just speak English in the classroom. They are in Britain, so they speak and read and hear it outside too. That’ s why they learn se quickly and why a summer school course is really a holiday. Only one third of each course is taught in the classroom. The rest takes place during a busy afternoon and evening timetable of visits, sport and games. These activities help everyone to make new friends, have fun and improve their English.
