Learn or improve your English with a language study trip to London

If you want to learn English or expand your existing knowledge, the best place to do so is in a country where English is the official language. The United Kingdom is ideally suited for this, so a language study trip to London is the perfect combination of learning and experience for many learners. And it is precisely this combination that gives you the motivation you need to learn and experience new things every day.

 

London, the vibrant and lively metropolis, not only invites tourists and travelers from all over the world, but also offers an incomparably diverse and broad range of language courses. Numerous language schools have a particularly comprehensive range of language travel offers, including the organization of a place of residence for the language students and sometimes even an additional trip through England after the language course.

 

If you too would like to improve and deepen your English language skills in the shortest possible time, a language study trip to London is always worthwhile. Thanks to the daily contact with English-speaking people, whether you are living in London (e.g. with a family), shopping in stores, eating in restaurants, sightseeing and with schoolmates from all over the world, you will practise your pronunciation and expand your vocabulary in a much shorter time than if you were to attend an English course in Switzerland. This leads to much faster progress and is very motivating for English learners.

 

Each language school in London offers different courses, which differ mainly in terms of intensity and focus. Most of these language courses are aimed at both beginners and advanced learners, so you are free to choose which course suits you or your child best. The following courses are usually offered, although this is not the case at all schools. Once you have found a course that interests you, you should therefore look carefully to see which language school offers it.

- Standard course

- Intensive course

- English for Work

- Individual lessons

- Combination courses

- Cambridge Preparation Course (FCE)

- Cambridge Preparation Course (CAE)

- Cambridge Preparation Course (CPE)

- TOEFL preparation course

- IELTS preparation course

 

For many of these courses there is also the option of studying in a small group, usually with between 3-6 participants. This allows for faster and more intensive learning, you will be more involved in the lessons and will inevitably have to speak English more often, which will improve your communication skills immensely in a very short time.

 

Standard and intensive courses are identical in terms of structure and external conditions and differ mainly in the number of lessons per week. A standard course often has 20 lessons per week, an intensive course 30 lessons. This means that you can achieve the same learning goal in two weeks with an intensive course as with a standard course in three weeks, which is certainly a welcome alternative for people with little free time.

 

Individual lessons are also very effective, but can somewhat minimize personal contact with other course participants. If you enjoy learning in a group but don't want to miss out on the advantages of individual lessons, a combination course is a good choice.

 

In addition to business courses, many language schools also offer preparation courses for upcoming exams during a language study trip to London. These exams are officially recognized and are highly regarded internationally. You can find out more about language examinations and language diplomas as well as the individual course models in the guide "Training and further education in the field of languages"

Questions and answers

Each language school in London offers different courses, which differ mainly in terms of intensity and focus. Most of these language courses are aimed at both beginners and advanced learners, so you are free to choose which course suits you or your child best for a language study trip to London. The following English courses are usually offered, although this is not the case at all schools.
  • Standard course
  • Intensive course
  • English for Work
  • Individual lessons
  • Combination courses
  • Cambridge Preparation Course (FCE)
  • Cambridge Preparation Course (CAE)
  • Cambridge Preparation Course (CPE)
  • TOEFL preparation course
  • IELTS preparation course

Once you have found a course that interests you, you should therefore look carefully to see which language school has it on offer.

During a language study trip to London, you have the choice between very different language courses with varying intensity and number of lessons per week. What they all have in common, however, is that they take place five days a week, from Monday to Friday, usually at least in the morning. You can usually opt for a standard or intensive language course, which, depending on the language school, has 20 to 27 lessons or 25 to 35 lessons per week. The duration of each lesson can vary between 45 and 90 minutes. Most English language schools also offer courses for business English, which are similar in scope to the intensive courses, as well as diploma courses or exam courses. For those who are mainly interested in exploring the capital of England and just want to learn a little English on the side, some English schools also offer the option of attending an English course with only 2 or 3 lessons per day, i.e. 10 or 15 lessons per week. It is best to speak to some language travel providers about the individual course types offered by the different language schools in London in order to find the right offer for you quickly and easily. The best way to do this is to use our contact form, which you can find under the details of the individual language schools.
When organizing the leisure programme, a strict distinction is made between youth language trips and adult language trips. Young people under the age of 16, sometimes even 18, are usually not able to spend their free time unsupervised outside of the language school or their host family. The leisure program is completely organized for them and supervised by the teachers. A language study trip in London aimed at adults usually does not offer as extensive a range of activities as for teenagers, but there is usually still plenty on offer. There are often weekly excursions, joint visits to pubs, museums and restaurants, film evenings and weekend trips. Courses outside of the English language course are also often on the program, although with different content and frequency depending on the school. For example, at some schools you can attend cooking classes, dance classes or painting classes in addition to the English course. Always bear in mind that not all leisure activities are included in the price and that you have to book some of them in advance.
If you want to expand your knowledge of English to include business English, many language schools in London offer a choice of different courses and specializations. In addition to courses for conventional business English, you will also find special English courses. These can be communication courses for executives, but also English courses for clearly defined target groups, such as secretaries, HR specialists, lawyers, engineers, doctors or nursing staff. Ask the individual schools what language courses are available for your professional group during a language study trip to London.
After a language study trip to London, you will normally receive a certificate from the relevant language school. And this applies regardless of whether you were there for one week or six months. However, as this does not necessarily say anything about your English language skills after this stay, official language examinations are being taken more and more frequently. Such examinations officially certify your language qualifications and are valid worldwide.
Language diplomas are often required as a prerequisite for jobs abroad or even a new or higher position here in Switzerland. As people increasingly have to deal with foreign corporate clients or business partners in their jobs, many companies require their employees to have a good command of English and a certificate or diploma attesting to this.
However, many universities in English-speaking countries also require foreign students to provide proof of their language skills so that they are able to follow the lectures at all. These language exams are the Cambridge exams, which, if passed, earn you a diploma certifying your language skills according to your level. You can also take these exams during a language study trip to London.
