MARIA, BELARUS 



Things to do… 

Learning English successfully 

is not only dependent on taking 

lessons in a formal classroom 

setting, it is also about using 

the language to communicate in 

real life situations. This is why 

our social programme is such 

a key part of our courses and 

educational philosophy. 

ADULTS 

Activities for our adult students fall into two categories. Some aim 

to be engaging and stimulating, such as guided museum visits or 

theatre evenings, while others are relaxing and informal, such as 

meals out or a pub quiz. 

Activities include: 

• A visit to Scarborough Castle – enjoy the stunning views over 

the coastline. 

• Dinner at a lively Mexican restaurant – sombreros available 

on request! 

• A backstage tour of the world-famous Stephen Joseph Theatre – 

home to all the first productions of Alan Ayckbourn. 

• An evening at a typical English pub – sample some genuine 

English ales! 

• A visit to Goathland – the location used for the popular TV series 

‘Heartbeat’ and featured as ‘Hogsmeade Station’ in the Harry 

Potter films. 

• A visit to Castle Howard – a historic house set within 1,000 acres 

of breathtaking countryside (shown below).

TEEN 

The social programme is an important and 

integral part of the learning experience. 

Our students use their English while having 

fun with new friends, all supervised by 

our specially trained Team Leaders. Group 

activities take place three afternoons and 

two evenings a week, while Tuesday evening 

is a time for meeting up informally with 

new friends or spending time getting to 

know your English hosts. 

JUNIOR 

When planning and designing a course 

for juniors it is important to include a 

variety of activities in order to help and 

encourage their learning. These activities 

must be enjoyable but also create a need 

to communicate; it is for this reason that 

the social programme is such a vital 

part of our Junior Vacation Programme. 

Engaging classroom tasks in the morning 

are supported by fun and games in the 

afternoon, all supervised by our team of 

highly qualified Early Years staff. 

A typical week for teens includes… 

WEEK 1 9AM-1PM 2PM-4PM 7PM-9PM 

MONDAY Classes / Project Work Town Tour School Disco 

TUESDAY Classes / Project Work Backstage 

Theatre Visit 

WEDNESDAY Classes / Project Work Coastal Cruise Sports or Cinema 

THURSDAY 

Full Day Excursion e.g. City of York 

FRIDAY Classes / Project Work Free Afternoon 

SATURDAY / SUNDAY

Optional Excursion - e.g. Manchester United FC Stadium Tour,

Accommodation 

STAY 

WITH OUR FRIENDLY, CARING HOSTS… 

Most of our students choose homestay accommodation because 

it is the best way to practise their English while learning more 

about British culture. 

As part of our service our Accommodation and Welfare Officer 

can arrange homestay accommodation for you, matching you with 

carefully selected English hosts, who have been chosen for their 

friendly and welcoming character. This option includes breakfast, 

a packed lunch and an evening meal each day. 

IF YOU PREFER TO ORGANISE YOUR OWN ACCOMMODATION… 

As Scarborough is an extremely popular tourist destination there 

is a vast range of accommodation choices to suit individual tastes 

and budgets. If you prefer to arrange your own accommodation, 

we recommend that you visit our website; www.english-language. 

uk.com where you will find links to a variety of hotels, bed and 

breakfasts and self-catering apartments.
