Junior English Easter

Junior English - Easter

Hi! How are you?  Would you like to learn your first words of English? Then come to Ypres for a week! What can you expect? Fun language workshops, lots of games, creative workshops and a super-cool excursion to Bellewaerde. 

If you have not yet started English at school but would like to learn it, this is a great camp for getting to grips with the basics whilst having lots of fun. You will be speaking your first English sentences in no time at all!

Does it sound tricky? Don’t worry – you can do it. We will help you to speak English, but you are allowed to chat to the other children in your own language. The coaches will speak English all the time – this ensures that you are properly immersed in the language. You’ll soon see that you can understand much more than you think.

Activities

• Cool language workshops which focus on speaking and trying your best. Themes include animals, clothes, colours, sports and – of course – you and your family! You will be having so much fun that you will hardly realise that you are speaking English.
• Creative workshops: arts and crafts, party planning etc. 
• Playing a big game or doing sports outside surrounded by greenery
• Weather permitting: an atmospheric campfire evening
• A fun excursion to Bellewaerde!

Discovery – partial immersion

At these camps for beginners, you are still allowed to speak in your mother tongue with other participants.  The group leaders will use the target language (e.g. French during a French camp) throughout the camp, while helping you to learn as many new words and sentences as possible. To make sure that everyone can follow along easily, each day features a ‘bilingual moment’, when the activities will be explained in both the target language and your mother tongue. During playful language workshops, you will be divided into small groups according to your level. The focus on language continues throughout the other activities as well, however. As your knowledge of the target language grows, we will increasingly challenge you to speak the target language, thus ensuring that you will learn how to express yourself more confidently by the end of the week.
