The EL Gazette recently named Loxdale English Centre as one of their top private English language schools in the UK providing excellent value for money English courses. One of the most popular courses offered at the Brighton based school is the Summer Intensive English Course.

This offers a lively programme of lessons that immerses students in the English language and culture to ensure they get a head start in their English proficiency programmes. Immersion learning has been shown to be the most effective way to learn a new language in a short space of time, and Loxdale is well known for best practice English teaching.

“In the Summer Intensive English Programme, students benefit from being entirely surrounded by the English language and culture with a minimum of 25 structured lessons a week and more being offered outside of class times,” says Zoe Smith, Marketing Officer for Loxdale English Centre. “We find our students make immense progress in a short space of time on this intensive programme.”

In addition to structured lessons, Loxdale offer extra mural activities that increase exposure to the English language and culture, giving students the opportunity to practise what they learn and the opportunity to learn by assimilation. Hearing and using English in action is a central factor in mastering a language and it is one that Loxdale encourages in all their courses.

“Our Summer Intensive course is ideal for students who want to make as much progress as possible in a short time,” says Smith. “Our course programmes are designed around the needs of each individual student to ensure they learn English quickly and effectively. For students wanting to catch up or get ahead in their English education, a Summer Intensive Course is the perfect opportunity.”

Lessons are enjoyable but also challenging and students are actively encouraged to make the most of their learning and leisure time. “Our lessons are not just about working through a book,” says Smith. “Part of what makes our courses effective is that we use a range of learning methods to ensure that students stay interested and motivated, constantly progressing to better English proficiency.”

The Loxdale Programme teaches more than just the language. Topics such as life in Britain today, British history and culture, health and wellbeing, arts and even photography can be included in the repertoire to help students develop English skills across a broad range of topics while focusing on what students find most interesting.

“Students will also have the opportunity to visit, mix and mingle in the nearby towns and cities, going to social events, shops and restaurants where they will experience real life in Britain and get to practise their English conversation skills,” says Smith. “This kind of exposure is critical to effectively learning a language.”
Loxdale English Centre is situated in Brighton on the South Coast of England. Brighton is well known for its history, culture, natural beauty and the quality of its English schools. It is also the gateway to Europe being close to the English Channel as well as major airports. The Centre is housed in a beautiful Victorian mansion set on 11000 square metres of trees and stunning landscapes.

With the EL Gazette naming Loxdale English Centre as one of their top value private English schools in Britain, students can be assured they will be getting excellent value for money, superior facilities, an individualised experience, highly qualified and experienced staff as well as an exciting social programme.
“Our Summer Intensive English Programme is a great choice for those planning to attend University in Great Britain as well as anyone planning to look distinguished in the profitable business sector,” says Smith. “It is open to adults and young adults from age 16 upwards. Many bookings are coming in from around the world, so we do encourage students to register early to avoid disappointment.”
