1. How is the school presented to students?

The important thing to present to the students is what the course or programme will give to

them and what they get at the first impressions or the first day. The first-day

procedure is also crucial.

Advantages

It provides opportunities

for language practice with

native or non-native

speakers in a relaxed, non-

classroom, 'not on show'

environment.

people need variety.

it makes better use of the

student's limited time.

it provides a rich source of

experience to discuss and

exploit in class.

it can generate income.

Disadvantages there is a risk of coddling.

people have increasingly high expectations of leisure services and facilities.

students are likely to be less perceptive about the use of language and about aspects of culture.

the potential for exploitation in class is greater if the students have had different experiences at the weekend or the evening before.

it can take a lot of organizing for little or no extra income, particularly when your student numbers are low.

• Some possible activities

- evenings at school

- evening event outside school

- Sports

• As well as the obvious famous towns and historic sights, excursions can be arranged to:

- them parks

- commercial premises that offer tours

- sports events

• Some other ideas:

As well as informal feedback, give a detailed questionnaire at the end of the course to get comments on each excursion.
