EJO Elizabeth Johnson Organisation

You stay in a single lockable bedroom with hand basin, ample storage space and your own card-operated phone for incoming and outgoing calls. There are bathrooms and toilets on every floor and small kitchens with fridges, irons and ironing boards.

This attractive campus is extremely compact. The accommodation is only a minute or two’s walk away from the dining hall, teaching rooms and activity areas.

You are occupied on the course programme all day every day and in the evenings too although, of course, there is free time for relaxation!

You usually have English lessons on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings and on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. There are full-day excursions on Wednesdays and Saturdays, except for the Saturday at the end of your course.

There are leisure activities every afternoon and evening apart from excursion day afternoons.

There are four forty-five-minute lessons on four mornings each week and three on two afternoons. Your course encourages you to make the most of your stay in England by concentrating on spoken English, giving you maximum opportunity to practise both inside and outside the teaching sessions.

You may be working to improve your skills in English grammar or increasing your vocabulary. You may be learning to be more confident in speaking and listening so that you communicate in a more relaxed and easy manner with members of our staff during leisure time and with your new friends on the course! The common language is, of course, English! You’ll need your English, too, when you are out on excursions and when you are doing your shopping!

You learn through working in pairs and groups, acting out relevant, real life situations and working on assignments or projects inside the teaching room or outside.

There will be an excursion preparation lesson on the day before each full-day excursion and a follow-up lesson on the day after.

The rich and varied activity programme may include quiz competitions, team games, local shopping expeditions, talent evenings, karaoke and discos.    

If you particularly enjoy sporting activities, there may be volleyball, football, tennis, international Olympics and fun sports.

You go on excursions to such interesting and well-known places as Bath, Cardiff and Gloucester. There is always an excursion to London which includes an attraction such as a Blue Badge guided tour, the London Eye or a river boat trip.
