Students' English Holiday Club
more than just a language course...

Example Course Programme

Learning English at SEHC involves more than just lessons. Living in England, and taking part in the activities we offer are an important part of improving your language abilities. Typically, an SEHC week has 3 mornings of lessons, 2 full days of excursions, and organised afternoon activities after the lessons. Optional evening and weekend activities are normally also offered. 

Excursion destinations include Windsor and at least two visits to London. Other destinations offered (in fixed programme or as optional weekend excursions) include Guildford, Portsmouth, Oxford or Brighton. Because of the English weather we like to remain a little flexible on excursion days, making changes when necessary. For example, if rain is forecast, we may choose to change our planned trip to the sea (Brighton or Portsmouth) and go to Winchester as an alternative, where the participants can do and see much more without having to go out in the rain. The following example illustrates a typical week at SEHC.
