24 hour Pastoral Care. English as a Foreign Language Course Who is the Course for? The course is intended for non-native English speakers, who wish to develop their language skills in a friendly and encouraging environment. What is the programme? English is a priority. Mathematics, the Sciences, Geography, History and Information Technology are included in order to enhance the English terminology of those subjects rather than the content. The classes are small - average 6 students. There are 30 lessons of 45 minutes each in a week.
The full academic programme is complemented by daily sports and activities such as tennis swimming, football, riding, golf, squash, badminton and basketball. Cinema visits, shopping expeditions and excursions to places of interest also take place. How are the Students cared for? The students live in single or double rooms in purpose built accommodation with excellent facilities. Experienced house parents ensure the comfort and well-being of each student. The additional supervisory staff care for the students when they are not in lessons, and accompany them on excursions. Our resident matron is on call to respond to any medical problems. G.C.S.E. Revision Course Who is the Revision Course for? The Course is dedicated to non-native English speakers, who are preparing for GCSE examinations in the Summer 2007. Why choose International College? All our teachers are specialists in teaching non-native speakers of English. The classes are small – an average of 6 students. This affords the opportunity for the student to receive individual guidance, tailor-made to his or her needs. How intensive is the Course? The course is designed to focus on the core topics with the emphasis on understanding rather than role learning and to provide the opportunity to cover problem areas in depth. There is constant testing throughout the course in order to help students develop appropriate examination technique. Our aim is to build up the students’ confidence in their application of knowledge under examination conditions. What is the daily programme? There are six tutorials of 45 minutes each, every
day in the chosen subjects, plus one and half hours of supervised
examination practice/prep time. The work is set and marked daily.
Lessons in study skills and examination technique form an integral
part of the programme. The students are encouraged to develop efficient
working habits and active revision. Will the Course cover the different requirements of Examination Boards and Syllabuses? On enrolment the student provides information about Examination Boards and Syllabuses for each revision subject chosen. The nature of the course with small classes and individual attention enables the teacher and student to address the demands of each examination. What does the College expect from the Student? The workload is heavy and total commitment by the student is expected throughout the course. However, with our help, the student receives a valuable boost at this vital stage. In order to gain optimum benefit from the Course it is suggested that the student attends both weeks. What next? On completion of the course, reports are sent to parents and schools with detailed comments on the work covered and guidance for further study. We welcome visits from parents and students and are happy to answer any further questions.
