English in London

Age 15-17

Get an international experience on your language trip together with students from around the world when you visit the incredible city of London.

Classic English course

On your language trip to London, you’ll take STS’s classic English course. Lessons are the perfect mix of exercises and tests, designed to improve your reading and writing comprehension, as well as pronunciation and vocabulary. Individual assignments are broken up with group projects, giving you the chance to develop your skills in a number of areas. You’ll notice how much you’ve progressed even after just a few days, especially in terms of pronunciation and conversation flow, as well as your increased self-confidence in everyday conversations.

All of your teachers are CELTA certified and have lots of professional experience. All course materials are included, and you’ll receive an STS diploma upon completion of the course. Our language courses in the UK are given through our partner, EC English. EC English has over 50 years of experience and is accredited by the British Council.

Activities included

There is so much to see and do in London, so your language trip will be so much more than just English lessons! After the school day, we’ll discover the incredible city and do fun activities. All of the excursions and activities are led by experienced and dedicated leaders.

Weekday activities are scheduled between lessons, but on the weekends, you’ll have the chance to go on full and half-day excursions. All activities are designed for you to practice and improve your English by hanging out with your new friends and participating in different activities, including team sports, exciting excursions and various athletic events. Keep in mind that different activities are organised every week, so what you’ll get to do and see depends on when you come and how many weeks you choose to be here.

On your first night in London, we’ll have a welcome activity where you’ll get the chance to meet teachers and the other students and to get all the information you need to make your language trip the best it can be.

In London, you can choose between two types of accommodation. Try living on campus with other students or live with your new friends at a carefully selected host family’s home. Find out more about our accommodation options below.

FAQ

Show all

What are the language lessons like?
It definitely will not feel like your regular school lessons at home – our teachers will take into account that you are in a country where the language is spoken. There will be a variation of group exercises and supervised activities, all together with your new friends from all over the world. Your homework might, for instance, be to tell your classmates about the dinner you and your host family had last night.
Can I stay with my friend?
We place friends and siblings who want to live in the same host family together as far as possible. The same applies to resort and campus accommodation, as far as possible according to the conditions at the destination. However, it is very important that you let us know about this well in advance, preferably when you book your trip.

Please note that friends and siblings of different genders cannot stay together and on some campuses only single rooms are available. In such cases, we place friends and siblings as close to each other as possible.

Can I go on a language trip if I have a medical condition or allergy?
We do anything in our power for everyone to be able to go on the trip of their dreams. It is therefore important that you inform us if you have any illnesses, allergies or disabilities. With this information in mind we can find a solution that suits you the best. We have host families that have experience when it comes to diabetes and allergies etc. and who are well informed when it comes to medication, nutrition and the ways of living.

How much will I learn?
Since you are surrounded by the language everywhere you go – at home, in school and during your spare time, you will benefit from every minute. The things you learn in the class room is just one part of the education. You will also learn a lot when you practice the language after classes, when you spend time with your host family, when you go shopping or when buying ice-cream.
