Summer School English Course
Students at Taunton School attend 20 lessons of General English with a comprehensive activity programme, with special excursions bookable on-site. Located in this picturesque town in Somerset, students stay in a typical student house and enjoy the experience of living and studying in a traditional English boarding school setting. LAL Summer Schools has adopted a task-based syllabus, which has been designed in order to present new language in addition to consolidating learners' existing knowledge. The topics chosen for each project have been meticulously selected to ensure that learners are actively stimulated throughout the course, whilst having ample opportunities to utilise the language in both controlled and free practice sessions. Each lesson will focus on a communicative approach developing learners' productive and receptive skills. All course materials are provided, including an LAL coursebook.
