Enjoy Summer – English, French and German
Languages: English, French and German.
ILS has more than ten years experience in organising summer courses for young children between 4 and 12 years.These courses are given in our language school in the town of Elgoibar or in the instalations of primary schools in the surrounding area.
What really makes our Enjoy Summer programme stand out is, without any doubt, our methodology. The children learn and enjoy themselves at the same time through the different activities we have planned both inside and outside the classroom. In the classroom we do a variety of craft work and the kids communicate in the language they are learning in order to carry out the activity, the teacher or instructor helps them out with the vocabulary related to the craft as well as the expressions needed to complete the task.
On the other hand, and weather permitting, of course, the kids can spend the whole morning outdoors playing games, sports, treasure hunts, short trips to other places etc.
