International Language Holidays

Having had more than ten years\' experience of organizing Young Learner\'s Courses, International Language Holidays can guarantee a safe and supervised learning environment for all our students. We take care of everything from the first day to the last, making sure that students are free to learn English in a safe and relaxed atmosphere. Learning English with International Language Hoidays allows students to make rapid improvement in their English while enjoying a range of interesting activities and excursions. Our Centres are located in some of the most beautiful parts of the East of England nor far from London and Cambridge and, whether staying in a College or with a family, students are sure to make friends from all over the world. Students, parents and teachers can be sure that registering with International Language Holidays will ensure the very best English Language Holiday. In our Residential Centres, staff care for our students 24 jours a day and there is full medical support as needed. Our host families in our Family Stay Centres are carefully selected by our Accomodation Ofiicers and offer constant care, support and supervision. All students are given emergency badges with a range of 24 hour emergency telephone numbers for immediate help. Excursions are carefully supervised and our couriers at London airports carry large International Language Holidays signs and are provided with mobile phones for easy communication when welcoming students on our residential programmes. Before each course, we send detailed information booklets about our Centres and offer useful advice on such matters as what clothes to bring and how much pocket money students need. In our Residential Centres, all pocket money is locked after by the Course Directors and our especially appointed House Parents constantly check the welfare of those in their care. Staff student ratios are low to ensure supervision and safety.

Colchester is England\'s oldest town and has much to offer the foreign visitor. Although located in the heart of the pretty Essex countryside and a short distance from a beautiful unspoiled coastline, Colchester is only forty-five minutes by train from the centre of London. There is easy access via both air and sea from abroad. The Centres are located in Framlingham, Ipswich, Clacton-On-Sea and Holbrook.

This price is an average price, the fees depend on the choice of college and accomodation. Please take the exact fees from the brochures. International Language Holidays teachers are well-qualified and experienced. Lessons are fun and include very many interesting activities. On the first day students are given a test to find their correct language level and are then placed in small international groups of 10-14 students. The study programme includes 20x45 minute lessons a week and offers Grammar and Vocabulary, Language Skills Work and Project work.

Residential courses: Each school boarding house is supervised by a House Parent and members of staff sleep in dormitory accomodation which is simple but comfortable. We provide all facilities that are needed, including a laundry service. Clothes need to be carefully marked and students need to bring towels with them in our Residential Centres. All meals are provided and students eat with each other in the school dining hall. Living with a family: Our host families are carefully selected by our Accomodation Officers and live within easy reach of the Study Centres. Students can sleep in twin or single rooms with full or half board. We do not place students with the same mother tongue in the same family. Tha family provides breakfast and dinner during the week and all meals at the weekend. Students can oder lunch from ILH if they wish or make their own arrangements. The family will carry out basic laundry and make our students feel very much at home.
