Local School Immersion Programme
Visiting public schools in another country is a great way to gain a perspective on that culture and with BlueSky there is a wide variety of ways students can have this experience.
Course Overview
The programme aims to give students the skills and confidence to become a more proficient communicator in English. Our teaching approach focuses on task based learning with the use of multi-media, team games and interactive activities we aim to boost the confidence in our students speaking abilities.
Through these practical lessons, students develop negotiation, debating, public speaking and leadership skills, as well as being challenged by time-management scenarios and tasks.
What You Will Learn
Students will learn the techniques of great leaders and public speakers throughout history, to prepare effective speeches and arguments, and how to work collaboratively with a diverse group of students.

Activities
