Your workshops will be led by qualified and experienced Language School Tour Leader (LSTL), who will tailor each workshop to your learning goals. A maximum class size of 15, also offers higher engagement levels.
Outside the classroom, your LSTL will accompany you during most pedagogical activities and day trips, giving students the confidence to apply their new skills in a real-life scenario.
Pedagogical Activities
Take lessons outside the classroom with our pedagogical activities where learning is integrated into a real-life scenario allowing students to gain more exposure to a language than in formal lessons.
Language School Tour Leaders will continue their small group teaching within immersive activities where students interact with locals to deepen their understanding of the French and Spanish culture. Exposure to local customs and everyday rhythms enhances understanding of language use.
Your Language School Tour Leader will coordinate these activities and provide support where needed. During these experiences, groups will be split into smaller groups to help students build confidence and ask questions while developing learning in a real-life context.
Navigating a foreign country develops essential life skills like independence and problem-solving. Stepping outside the classroom boosts students’ confidence in understanding and communicating with native speakers.

Visit the local market to buy ingredients for lunch
Cooking workshops where the instructions are given in your target language

French Language School Trip

From sleepy villages to bustling market towns to cheery sunflower fields to coastal fishing ports, France is the perfect destination for language students.
Our French language trips include destinations selected by our team of travel specialists and former modern foreign language teachers, designed to build French language skills away from tourist hotspots.
School groups can explore the natural beauty of alpine Annecy, the picturesque port of Sete or the wine capital, Bordeaux depending on their goals.
Your students will be exposed to local customs and everyday rhythms to enhance their understanding of local language use.
Spanish Language School Trip
Harness a deeper understanding of the Spanish language by immersing yourself in this vibrant country’s culture.
Travelling helps students understand cultural nuances and reduces biases throughout the rest of their lives. Spain is a superb destination for cultural immersion as your students will immediately be hit with the alluring aroma of tapas, the chatter of locals, and distinctive music.
Enhance your student’s language skills amongst a backdrop of sandy beaches, glistening sea, snow-capped peaks, white-washed towns and villages perched on distant hilltops.
The contrasting experiences of Spain are encapsulated in our three destinations; El Puerto, Toledo, and Almuñécar. These hand-picked destinations are based in smaller cities where only the Spanish language is spoken.
All our destinations are far enough away from large cities that Castilian Spanish is dominant, giving students confidence when interacting with native speakers but close enough to Madrid, Seville, Granada and Cádiz for a city day trip!
