Target English International
We run junior summer courses for English language students aged between 10 - 17. We have students from all over the world! The majority will be Italian, but we also have students from Spain, France, Portugal, Poland, Czech Republic, Argentina, Morocco and Israel to name a few! Students usually stay for two weeks and take part in a mixed programme of lessons and activities/excursions which are run by Activity Leaders.
Our Mission:
At Target, we aim to provide our students with a comfortable and caring setting in the UK to improve their communication in English and develop skills for a more global society. We want our students to leave the course with a better understanding of UK culture and the inspiration to become life-long learners of English.
Overview of role:
Teachers are responsible for teaching 10-17-year-old students on our short summer courses which, in the majority of our centres (unless specified), lead to the Trinity College London Graded Examinations in Spoken English (GESE). Teachers usually work mornings and afternoons on our zigzag timetable, teaching 4 x 1.5 hour lessons a day. All teachers receive an on-site induction with the Director of Studies which includes Trinity exam preparation. The Target English International syllabus and a range of materials are available in each centre.
Our course
We focus on developing fluency skills and building student confidence in a friendly and stimulating environment. Our in-house syllabus is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). In order to enhance the language learning experience and give the students a sense of academic achievement, our package includes entry to the Trinity Graded Exam in Spoken English (GESE).
*Except in London Hatfield where classes are morning-only and there is a maximum class size of 18 students
