English for Humanities

The course consists of daily English classes, focusing on both general and academic English, with particular emphasis on speaking and listening skills. Students also have an individual research project and poster presentation. There will be a mixture of seminars and lectures on British culture, focusing on film studies, museum studies and English literature, with particular emphasis on Shakespeare and the discovery of the remains of King Richard III.

Alongside studies there are also themed weekend excursions aimed at developing knowledge and skills gained in the classroom. There are also fun evening social activities with students from other international summer programmes and an end-of-course presentation ceremony and tutor feedback.
