Features of Language Schools Abroad
Foreign language courses abroad are usually organized by private language courses. These courses are schools that specialize in language education and have a say in their field. People who want to study languages think that the education provided within the university is better. But in recent years, we have seen that this opinion has changed and language courses specializing only in language education have become more successful in their fields. Students who have completed their education here can get enough points from exams that are a prerequisite
for studying at universities such as TOEFL or IELTS and continue their education. Courses are also available on site at some universities. After reaching a sufficient level here, the student can also be accepted to university or master’s programs.

• Programs are offered to suit all levels and purposes.

• On the first day of your participation in the language course, a placement test is taken, and you are placed in an appropriate class accordingly.
• The courses are usually taught in English from basic to advanced level.
• The content of the courses is aimed at improving your grammar, speaking, writing, and listening knowledge and skills.
• The class size is determined as 10-15 people.
• Classes usually start in the morning, but some schools have course programs that start in the afternoon and evening.

Every Turkish citizen, including primary school graduates, or foreign students and persons residing in Turkey also have the right to study in language schools. But the most important thing to consider here is who is eligible for a visa or not. Although everyone can study at these schools, unfortunately, not everyone can get a visa. For this reason, if you want to study abroad, you can talk to our consultants about your situation and get detailed information.
Accommodation Options
There are many accommodation options for students who will participate in foreign language programs abroad.
Homestay: It is the most preferred form of accommodation. This kind of accommodation is an important opportunity to improve the foreign language and get to know the people and culture of the country you are going to. In the family, the student finds a regular and safe environment. The student is given a furnished room and food. The school organizes families to host students at their homes. When placing students with families, the school considers their preferences. Students should inform their wishes for the selection of suitable families for them. For example, whether they smoke, food preferences, allergies, family preferences with or without children, etc.…
Dormitory Accommodation, Student Houses: This is the other option that students prefer most after homestay. The rooms in the dormitories are single or shared. Toilets and bathrooms are also often shared with other students, but some dormitories offer a private bathroom in the room. There are shared kitchens where students can cook their own meals. Meals can also be eaten in the dormitory's cafeteria. The cleaning of the rooms is carried out regularly by the staff. There are generally laundry facilities that can be used by all students, computer laboratories with internet access and common areas with television halls available in the dormitories. There are study rooms in the dormitory. It offers a more comfortable movement environment compared to the family. It is often difficult to find a place in school dormitories.

Summer Schools Abroad
Summer Schools are an ideal holiday for a student between the ages of 10-17.
Fun… Language Training… Adventures he can tell his friends about?
It is also ideal for parents because they want their children to spend the summer months developing themselves... to behave more like adults and have a useful vacation.
The countries where Summer Schools are located have castles filled with hundreds of thousands of years of history, natural beauties and an effective language education that will be taken during a summer vacation with peers of all nationalities is what both sides want.
If you agree, for example, in a summer month spent by the ocean in student cities full of history and lush greenery, such as Cambridge, Oxford, or coastal cities in the south of England, learning English on the
spot will be an unforgettable experience. A summer vacation filled with the beauties of America or Canada is an unforgettable holiday, as well as a unique experience with its achievements.
The difference between summer schools and regular language courses is that the institutions are programs prepared by the students with the awareness that they are traveling not only for education, but also for a fun holiday, and they offer fun activity programs and English lessons together.
The activity programs consist of various sports activities such as swimming, tennis, basketball, horse riding, evening entertainment such as karaoke, theater, bingo, quiz night, prom, barbecue on the beach, and day trips to historical sites. All activities are prepared in a way that is suitable for the age group of the student and facilitates the integration with other students. English education turns into a fun and memorable memory, and the confidence that the student will gain in language is a memory of this memory.
If you wish, it is an alternative to be able to attend the activity programs prepared for students in the afternoons and evenings by studying in classes of 10-15 people in the mornings in one of the sunniest cities in England, in the summer school's seafront building.
Or you can choose to stay in Cambridge University in the historic dormitory buildings surrounded by lush green lawns. This would be a great choice, especially for young people traveling in groups.
If you are researching a summer school for teenagers under the age of 16, you don't have to worry about their safety. Students under the age of 16 will have fun staying in dormitories and under the supervision of their instructors, with various programs arranged for them, and they will be safe under the constant supervision of their teachers.
