Language workshops
During your language school trip, your classroom-based workshops will be led by qualified and experienced language teachers with a maximum ratio of 15 students per teacher. Your Language School Tour Leader will also accompany you during most pedagogical activities and day trips to enhance the learning experience.
Your LSTL (Language School Tour Leader) will understand your unique learning focusses and tailor each workshop to exactly the right level. Outside the classroom, they will help give students the confidence to apply their new skills in a real-life scenario.
Your trip is tailor-made so you can choose to have as many or as few classroom-based workshops as you like.
Our team will offer support and valuable curriculum expertise along with their local knowledge and personal experience for an unbeatable school trip.
Pedagogical activities
During your school trip, you’ll be taking lessons outside the classroom so that teaching can be integrated into the activity. These include pedagogical activities, where the language school’s teachers continue their small group teaching within an immersive activity. These on-the-go sessions provide the ultimate classroom without walls, allowing your students to engage in targeted workshops and tailored teaching in local settings, all with an enhanced educational focus.
Your Language School Tour Leader will coordinate these activities and provide support when needed. During these experiences, groups will be split with a maximum ratio of 15:1, to help students build confidence and ask questions while developing learning in a real-life context. And what’s more, our pedagogical activities can replace time in the classroom at the local language school, meaning more time absorbing the language and enriching linguistic knowledge in everyday situations.

Visit the local market to buy ingredients for lunch
Cooking workshops where the instructions are given in your target language
A treasure hunt around the town where students ask the local people to help solve clues

Spanish language trips
Spain is a superb destination for cultural immersion as your students will immediately be hit with the alluring aroma of tapas, the chatter of locals, and distinctive music.
Enhance your language skills amongst a backdrop of sandy beaches, glistening sea, snow-capped peaks, white-washed towns and villages perched on distant hilltops.
The contrasting experiences of Spain are encapsulated in our three destinations: El Puerto, Toledo, and Almuñécar. These hand-picked areas are based in smaller cities where only the Spanish language is spoken.
All our destinations are far enough away from large cities that Castilian Spanish is dominant, but close enough to Madrid, Seville, Granada and Cádiz for a vibrant city day trip!
