Our popular summer English for Teens programmes teach English in a supportive learning environment.​ Our classes are held in our historic, yet modern building in the heart of Totnes.

We use the the small, safe town of Totnes as a classroom to extend communication with local people and learn about local history and culture.

In class, students may visit the Totnes Museum for an invention task, the market to research what pop-up restaurant or market stall is missing in Totnes. They also visit the Guildhall to learn about the past, and practise question forms while interviewing volunteers  in charity shops as part of a lesson on charity and community. Many of the morning lessons are linked to the EiT Social Programme, to extend learning and provide a complete learning experience.​

​

The focus is on a communicative approach which is interactive and dynamic. It helps students reach their potential by practising all English skills. As learners study with students of similar ages and different nationalities they will have to practise their English.

​

Although you teacher will have a scheme of work linked to your social programme, on Mondays in class, your teacher will ask you if you have any specific wants or needs in class for the week ahead which can be added to or adjusted at any time throughout the week. ​

​

We ask all students to complete our EiT online placement test before arrival. After your Induction to the school on your first day, teachers will also assess your level of production to ensure you will be placed into the correct class level.
