S.E.E.P SITUATIONAL ENGLISH EXCURSION PROGRAMME
This programme has been developed for those students wishing to improve their English by
doing a more practical course than can be offered by a purely classroom-based approach.
Student learning takes place through complete immersion in the language in real-life
situations, with classes serving as preparation for the excursions, hands on activities and
cultural visits included in the programme.
Before an excursion, students research the history, heritage and important sights of the
place(s) to be visited, through a series of guided learning activities.
Learning English becomes fun, relevant and memorable, creating a positive learning
environment which, in turn, leads to beneficial results.
Visits to London, Edinburgh and the Lake District are also included in the programme.
