Our Educational Goals and Teaching Concept

Learn English. Use it for real.

Learning a language is about more than vocabulary and grammar. At International Projects, students use English to communicate, share ideas, solve problems and make friends with young people from around the world. Our international classrooms give students the chance to learn from one another, discover different cultures and experience English as a language for real communication.

Skills for today. Confidence for the future.

We want students to take home more than improved English. Our courses help young people develop the confidence, independence and communication skills they need in an increasingly international world. Through pair and group work, discussions, problem-solving and collaborative activities, students develop important skills such as communication, teamwork, creativity and intercultural awareness, all while improving their English.

More than a language

For 40 years, we have been creating international learning experiences that combine real language progress with fun, discovery and new friendships. More than 500,000 children and teenagers have travelled with us, developing their language skills while experiencing new cultures and building friendships across borders.
We believe a language course abroad should feel different from lessons at home. Students learn in the classroom and then have opportunities to put their language into practice throughout their international summer experience, communicating with new friends, joining activities and discovering their destination. English becomes something they use, not simply something they study.

Lessons that get students talking

Communication is at the heart of our teaching. Lessons combine speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation with interactive activities designed to get students actively involved. Rather than simply listening to the teacher, students are encouraged to discuss, collaborate, ask questions, express opinions and learn through doing.

English meets the real world

Our lessons explore topics that are relevant and engaging for young people, while also introducing students to the culture, traditions and everyday life of their destination. Authentic materials and digital resources such as videos, podcasts, articles and online content bring English into the real world. Role plays, interviews, challenges, presentations and projects give students opportunities to put new language into practice.

Build confidence. Find your voice.

Speaking another language can feel difficult at first. With no more than 17 students per class, we create a supportive international classroom where everyone has opportunities to participate, speak and interact. Students are encouraged to have a go, express their ideas and learn from their mistakes, while teachers provide guidance and individual feedback. The aim is simple: to help students become more confident and effective communicators.

Learning by doing

Students learn best when they are actively involved. That's why our lessons include pair work, group challenges, discussions, presentations, creative tasks and project work alongside structured language learning. Students don't just practise English. They use it to create, collaborate, make decisions and achieve something together.

A complete language-learning experience

Learning is adapted to students' language level so that they can participate, feel challenged and continue developing their English. Our courses develop all the key areas students need to make progress:

• Speaking and communication
• Listening and understanding
• Vocabulary and pronunciation
• Grammar and accuracy
• Reading and writing
• Confidence and fluency
• Presentation and collaboration skills
• Intercultural awareness

Progress you can be proud of

From their first lesson to their final day, we want students to recognise what they can achieve in English. At the end of the programme, students receive a course certificate recognising their participation and achievement and celebrating the progress they have made during their stay.
