Summer Language Camp - ESL Ascona - Courses

The pleasure of learning

Our main aim is to develop the students’ interest in learning the language and to reawaken their dormant knowledge. To achieve our goal, we first and foremost create a youthful and dynamic atmosphere in our lessons, by selecting subjects that are truly motivating for the students. Particular emphasis is put on communication and self-confidence. The various areas of language study, reading, writing, speaking and listening, are all tackled, and grammar points are studied in such a way that our students learn without feeling that they are studying in a formal manner.

The teachers

The teaching staff are young and dynamic native speakers. They set out to create a relaxed, amusing and motivating atmosphere with lesson themes our students can relate to. During the extracurricular activities, they continue to encourage their students to use the language being studied.

Courses for all levels

Whether our students are beginners or very advanced, they will find a class for their level. When they arrive, they sit an entrance test, which enables us to place them in a course at their level. Each week, a quick evaluation of the students’ levels allows us to assess the progress being made.

Standard and intensive courses

  • Standard 20 lessons per week
  • Intensive 25 lessons per week

Courses take place in the mornings, from Monday to Friday. Both the standard and a more intensive option are offered to students at all course locations. Those choosing the intensive option benefit from an additional lesson each day that is purely focused on oral and written communication and comprehension.

ESL certificate

At the end of their stay, each student receives an ESL certificate, attesting to their participation in our course, the level of language achieved and their results.
