Learning

New Forest Language School specialises in small, personally-run courses with a limited number of participants so that students are able to maximise their learning experience with us.

We value the importance of stimulating, creative English lessons within a safe environment so that students can make friends, develop their confidence and have plenty of opportunity to practise their English in and out of the classroom.

We place a strong emphasis on communication skills encouraging each student to communicate confidently and fluently in English. Most importantly, students are expected to have fun!

This is achieved through a mixture of tasks such as:

  • role plays
  • quizzes, competitions, questionnaires
  • language games and music
  • individual, group and pair work
  • group projects 
  • dialogue and conversation
  • discussion
  • video filming
  • grammar and sentence structure
  • extended learning in afternoon activities and excursions

In addition, students are given small activities to undertake with their host families. This may include writing a diary, conducting interviews and completing questionnaires.
