Hurtwood House Summer School: サリーにある居住型英語キャンプ

This English course is designed for students of all levels, from absolute beginners to fluent speakers, who want to gain real confidence in using English in everyday situations. The main goal is to help learners feel at ease, get involved, and make friends quickly through interactive, engaging, and fun lessons. The unique approach combines creative teaching, small group sizes, and a daily project lesson where students work together to produce short films, plays, songs, or business pitches.

The teaching methodology is highly interactive and student‑centred, with creative and innovative teachers who balance oral and written work according to the group’s level. Small teaching groups allow generous individual attention, and students are assessed upon arrival, then re‑assessed regularly and moved to more advanced groups as they progress. Materials include class books with weekly written reports, and the curriculum covers communication skills (speaking and listening), pronunciation, fluency, grammar, study skills, presentation skills, reading, writing, and everyday English use. Each day features a project lesson where students collaborate in their class to create short films, plays, songs, or business pitches, which are then presented in front of the school at the end of the week. Lessons are never dull, and teachers hold daily meetings to discuss every student’s progress. Students have two different teachers who assess them weekly and write reports included in their class books, which students take home upon departure.

The course focuses on building real confidence in everyday English through interactive, fun lessons and daily collaborative projects that enhance spontaneous learning.
