Host an Intensive English week at your school

A week of English, in your school, with no way out.

We organise and run full-immersion English weeks in high schools and middle schools throughout Italy.

A team of qualified native-speaker teachers comes to your school for a week and runs 20 hours of speaking-based activities per group. Students spend the whole time in English: games, debates, role plays, mysteries and challenges, with no textbook in sight.

Why a whole week?

In weekly lessons, shyness creeps back between one hour and the next. Across five consecutive days it doesn’t get the chance. Students get used to speaking, stop translating in their heads, and make more progress in a week than in months of occasional practice.

How we run it

Qualified, hand-picked teachers.

We recruit across Europe for experience, energy and the ability to get the quiet ones talking. They speak only English with students, all week.

Games, not grammar drills.

Problem-solving, drama, debates and mysteries give students real reasons to talk. A relaxed atmosphere makes them willing to take risks and make mistakes.

Small groups at the right level.

Groups are built by ability and linked to what classes are studying this year, so the language feels familiar and everyone gets plenty of speaking time.

Several teachers, not one.

Teachers rotate between groups each day, so students hear different accents and styles.

Choose your focus

Speaking skills.

Our core week, for middle and high schools. Debating, persuading, explaining and storytelling, with the aim of fluency and confidence.

Soft skills.

Communication, critical thinking and leadership, practised in English. In a typical session on conflict resolution, students share experiences, learn research-based techniques, then use them in role plays to reach agreement. Good English practice, and a skill they’ll use for life.

Exam skills.

For students preparing for Cambridge or IELTS. The same speaking-rich week, plus exam strategies, time management, and practice with the writing and speaking tasks, led by teachers who know the exams well.

The practical side

Weeks can run at any time of year; many schools choose holidays or breaks in the timetable. Our teachers stay with local families, and hosting one is a great experience for your students’ families too.
