Summer Programmes

(Download PDF - 1.5 MB)

Our summer programmes are an exciting and effective way for you to improve your English while living and studying in one of the world’s most famous, stimulating, and beautiful cities.

In the Mornings

Beginning at 9:15 a.m., you will have three hours of General English lessons in a group of no more than twelve students. Our qualified teachers will help you improve your speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Lessons often take place in one of the world-renowned Oxford University colleges, such as Lady Margaret Hall.

In the Afternoons

After lunch, you have several choices:

• Most students join our social activities leaders for an enjoyable local outing, such as punting on the river, touring one of the historic Oxford colleges, or enjoying cream tea in a café.
• You can join a group lesson to focus on conversation and listening skills.
• You can have one-to-one lessons with a private teacher in any subject area (Business English, Academic English, Medical English, etc.).
• You can explore Oxford on your own, or with friends and classmates.

Social Life

During your studies at CIE, we will arrange for you to stay with an English family, taking breakfast and the evening meal with them. During mealtimes, you can chat with your host family about your day and life in England. Our students often keep in touch with their host families long after the summer is over.

At the weekends, we offer excursions to nearby sights such as London, Stonehenge, the Roman city of Bath, and Shakespeare’s birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon.

In your lessons, you will meet many other students from all over the world. In your free time, you can explore Oxford with your new friends, visiting the many nightclubs, restaurants, shops, and parks the city has to offer. Be sure to exchange email addresses with your classmates so you can stay in contact after your summer programme has finished!
