ACADEMIC Options
English for Analysis and Debate
These lessons are perfect for students who want to study at English-medium schools or universities. The aim is for students to develop their ability to understand academic language and express themselves using this language. We focus on how to form and defend your opinions and how to analyse and question the opinion of others. The skills and language covered will be helpful to students who are taking a test for academic purposes such as IELTS or school or university entrance exams. Due to the language content students need to have an intermediate level of English in order to study on this course.
Projects and Presentations
In these lessons students work together to produce a project that is a reminder of their time at Harrow Summer School. They show their completed project to other groups in a presentation session at the end of their course and a winning project is selected for a prize. Projects are student-led, with each project group selecting a manager, deciding on team responsibilities and planning their project timeline. Our teachers are there to help with language and ensure all students are involved and actively learning throughout their project lessons.
Project work helps students develop their communication and language fluency as well as promoting teamwork, time management and presentation. Previous projects winners have included short films, vlogs, drama performances and photo stories. The important thing is for students to enjoy what they are doing, learn and practise new language and to produce something they are proud of.
