Summer Courses
Language holidays for young adults in Eastbourne
This Summer Vacation course at ELC Eastbourne is designed for young adults aged 16 – 22 who want to combine English language study with a programme of social activities.
There is a structured programme of language study which covers the four skills; speaking, listening, reading and writing. The main emphasis is on developing your confidence and fluency to communicate outside the classroom.
The inclusive social programme consists of two afternoon activities and 1 half-day excursion per week.
Our minimum age for individuals is 16, but we occasionally accept 15 year olds on the Summer Plus Vacation course in international classes provided they are part of a group with a group leader.
