We specialise in creating an immersive environment for children aged 9 to 17 years, coupling a top-quality English language learning programme with specialist coaching or tuition in your child’s favourite activities. Whether your child favours sport (including tennis, football, rugby, golf, hockey, and more) or the arts (including vocal music, instrumental music, and dance), Exsportise can provide a rewarding and memorable experience.

Our UK-based English language programme, which offers a minimum of 15 hours of English language tuition per week, is carefully designed to improve students’ receptive and productive language skills with a strong focus on oral communication. Accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English in the UK, Exsportise offers students the opportunity to pursue a passion or interest and use it to improve their English language skills.

No matter where you are from, your child can benefit from learning English in the UK. We provide a truly multinational camp with children from many different countries from around the world attending our camps each year. We watch friendships grow through mutual interest. The children eat, learn, train, and grow together. They have so much fun, they won’t even notice they are learning English!

English beyond the classroom AND CONTINUOUS LEARNING

At Exsportise, English becomes an integral part of students’ daily life. English is heard, spoken and practised during all Specialist Academies and recreational activities so students will have many opportunities to put into practice what they have learned in the classroom and fully immerse themselves in the language.

OPTIONAL EXTRA

Students are offered the opportunity to sit the Cambridge Assessment English Linguaskill reading and listening test (60 – 75 mins) which distinguishes between language levels A1 – C1 or above.

DAILY TUITION & CLASS SIZES

Each morning or afternoon consists of 3 x 60 minute lessons with a 15 minute break in between the lessons. Students study three different lessons to develop all receptive and productive language skills, expand their vocabulary, improve their accuracy in speaking and writing and boost their confidence.

Our teachers aim to help students feel at ease, join in and make friends. All lessons are interactive, engaging, fun, and reactive to the needs of our students.

Each three hour session will include:

  • Core English - Grammar / Lexis: This lesson includes vocabulary building, improving students’ understanding and use of grammar and perfecting their

    pronunciation. This section gives students the confidence to speak.

  • Enrichment - Integrated Skills / Communication Skills: Focus on improving the four main receptive and productive competencies of reading/listening and writing/speaking using topics that are interesting and relevant to our students.

  • Exsportise Projects - CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) / Collaboration: Students engage in stimulating, task-based projects to enable students to work together to achieve a common goal, whilst developing their 21st Century Skills (creativity, collaboration, and communication) and fluency. This section makes the teaching particularly real and engaging for our students with relevant content, including English and British culture and includes presentation skills to increase confidence.

Attention will be paid to pronunciation and fluency throughout.
