Excursions are an important part of each English
Language student's program.
The Education group runs student excursions every four weeks of
the
English Language Program.
Our excursion programs are fun, exciting and educational as they:
- help to build student knowledge of Australia's natural environmen
- help to build student knowledge of Australia's cultural heritage
- to provide opportunities for authentic and meaningful spoken
interaction outside the classroom
- to provide opportunities for students to interact with written
English in a less familiar context outside the classroom
- Lessons tailored to your language level with worksheets provided
before and after visit
