English

Classes focus on sport, engaging students’ passion for the subject to promote language learning in a fun and interactive environment. Using the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) model of English, qualified teachers infuse language learning into lively and active classes where sports-based projects, discussions and activities take centre stage. Teachers guide students to improve their verbal communication skills while discussing legendary players, interviewing coaches, or writing and speaking their own commentary. Learning is supported by English teachers living on-site and English is spoken at all times throughout the camp, creating an immersive learning environment.

Showcasing their new-found skills in competitive game scenarios, they understand how coaching drills and challenges throughout the week translate to match performance. As well as their progress on the pitch, English skills are rapidly improved from experiences inside and outside the classroom. Players make new friends from around the world and develop maturity, confidence and an understanding of different cultures.
