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.

  • Learning Objectives

    Increased confidence, improved vocabulary, rhythm and flow in English.

  • Key Concepts

    How to undertake and present research, effective usage of facts and statistics, how to develop an idea, how to engage an audience.

  • Activities

    Students will engage in fun group activities to build self confidence and comfort with classmates. Lessons are supplemented with debates and in-class presentations. From day one students are speaking and participating all the time.

  • Outcome

    Students learn how to shine on stage, pulling together all the knew knowledge and skills they’ve learned through the week to give a presentation on a topic of their choice during our star studded finale night.
