  • to Project International’s2014 brochure...

    Project are a leading incoming

    youth tour operator to the

    UK with experience dating back

    to 1986 and a reputation for

    quality, safety and attention

    to detail. Our staff, based in

    our offices in London, Milan

    and Taipei (covering Taiwan &

    China) are committed to a high

    level of personal service and all

    have the necessary dedication,

    experience and enthusiasm to

    ensure that our programmes

    retain their excellent reputation.

    project international is an established provider of international summer schools in the uk and has attracted students from all over the world, including japan, taiwan, hong kong, mainland china, korea, france, switzerland, italy, germany, scandinavia, Bulgaria, austria, spain, portugal, russia, estonia, oman, saudi arabia, egypt, jordan, turkey,israel, greece, uae, ukraine, mexico, lebanon, Brazil, iceland, uzbekistan, kazakhstan, nigeria, vietnam, ivory coast and morocco.

    The aim is to provide an educational, recreational, social and cultural experience filled with happy memories where new friendships are fostered and where returning the following year is a top priority Our caring staff are on site 24 hours a day and are recruited for their ability to work with children and for their flair/qualifications on the

    teaching and/or activity front. There are senior staff specifically responsible for English, Activites, Excursions, Social Activities

    and Welfare/Pastoral Care. Welfare and pastoral care are top priorities too and a doctor is always on call. We also

    place a huge emphasis on safety and security and are constantly reviewing these vital areas.

    Each day is structured so that the students are occupied morning, afternoon and evening. There is appropriate variation and always an emphasis on fun and all round

    enjoyment and we have found, over the years, that this makes for a truly

    memorable programme for all concerned.

    The international environment enables students from different parts of the world to exchange ideas and experiences, and to communicate in English.

    SAmpLE WEEKLy pRogRAmmE

    DATES

    For dates at each school see pages 6-12 under appropriate school. Different schools have different changeover days. Note • 2 or 3 weeks is the ADVISED length of stay, though it is possible to book stays of less (or more) than this as long as the stay falls within the above dates and subject to availability. Please ask for further details.

    EXCURSIoNS

    Students are taken on escorted coach excursions twice a week. Nor-mally these are Wednesdays for half days and Saturdays for full days though days vary from school to school. There are also free (or change-over) days (normally Sundays) when extra excursions can be organised (some suggestions are listed under each school in this brochure) and it is popular to lay on recreational, rather than cultural, trips on such days. We have a Director of Excursions who liaises with foreign group leaders regarding their planned trips, coaching etc... We cannot guarantee to send groups exactly where they want to go but we do our utmost. The more warning we have the better. Please also bear in mind that there are STANDARD excursions from each school; if groups want to go further afield from these destinations, an extra charge is made which is dependent on number in group and distance. There are standard en-trances included on most excursions (listed on each centre page in this brochure); be aware that if a different entrance is required from that offered (and can be accommodated) then a supplement may be payable. Please also bear in mind that we have to maximise the occupancy of the coaches on excursions and therefore CANNOT send groups/individuals wherever they choose to go.

    For groups going to a centre where London is NOT a standard excur-sion, a London overnight stay may be ideal this can be tagged on at the end of the stay, prior to departure and gives a group far more quality time in the capital with the possibility of a theatre trip as well as sight-seeing. Project can organise the whole of this trip (see page 14).

    please note the recommended airports for appropriate centre given under relevant centre on pages 6-12. supplements may apply if a dif-ferent airport is chosen.

    EVENINgS

    There is a Director of Social Activities whose job it is to lay on a varied and popular schedule of evening entertainment. These include discos, karaokes, BBQ s, Blind Date, Talent Shows, Fashion Shows, Film Shows, Lucky Numbers, Project Olympics, etc... On certain evenings, there are two different activities one aimed at the younger students, the other at the older ones.

    mEALS

    Meals are carefully planned with our on site chef/catering manager. A mixture of English and Continental Breakfasts are served. At lunch and dinner, there is always a salad bar with choice of hot meal (including a vegetarian option) and plenty of fruit. Students and leaders alike are urged to give us feedback on the meals; there is scope for flexibility and change! All food is freshly prepared on site and all dietary require-ments are catered for (providing advance warning is given!!) Please bear in mind that the chefs are often having to cater for as many as 10 nationalities which is particularly difficult when children are involved as cultures/tastes vary so much.

    CENTRE INFoRmATIoN

    General information on each school as well as details of accommodation are given on the appropriate centre page (pages 6-12). More detailed in-formation (ie. telephone numbers) will be sent out a month or so prior to departure. We also have fact sheets on each school including a sample programme. Do contact Head Office for these. Please note that most schools provide a full internet service for staff students but this cannot be absolutely guaranteed; some schools have emergency work to do on their networks others are loathe to let outside groups onto their network. In the main, however, internet should be fully accessible to all students. A laundry facility (NOT necessarily service!) is provided in all our centres. However this should not be taken to mean that a bespoke laundry service is done for students. Some schools will do the laundry for the students, others just provide the facility.

    AFTERNooN ACTIVITIES

    There is a wide range of activities on offer and we have a Director of Activities who plans each afternoon according to the demands of the students and in liaison with group leaders. Students can sign up for preferred activities in the mornings or make their selection when the students congregate for activities at 2.15pm. The activity programme is designed for maximum participation and enjoyment; it is NOT a coaching establishment although, for an extra charge, we can organise 1:1 tuition in certain activities with coaches we bring in specially for this purpose.

    Activities are many and varied and normally include aerobics, archery, art/craft, badminton, boomerang, basketball, drama, frisbee, football, golf, handball, hockey, horse riding*, kwik cricket, lacrosse, netball, pool, rugby, shooting, short tennis, squash, table tennis, tennis, treasure trail, unihoc, volleyball, water polo etc...* supplement payable.

    pRICES AND INCLUSIoNS

    See separate sheet for our 2014 prices. They are all fully inclusive.

  • tuition

    Students have 15 hours contact time per week (normally Monday to Friday inclusive) and there are generally no more than 15 students in a class. A lot of emphasis is placed on trying to get students to interact and converse in English as much as possible. This is accomplished by providing students with interesting communicative activities that help stimulate and encourage language use.

    DIRECToR oF STUDIESEach centre has a Director of Studies who coordinates the English programme. He/she organises the testing, monitors the day-to-day teaching, provides advice and assistance to teachers and meets regularly with representatives of the various groups at the centre. There is also an overall Project International English Coordinator who visits each centre to check that the English programme is running well.

    TEACHINg mATERIALSWe have a wide range of communicative resource materials available to our teachers. These include an array of interesting and exciting language activities. Some of the EFL resources found at each centre include the following:

    • Jet Primary 1, 2, and 3• Junior English Timesaver Drama in the Classroom• Timesaver Phrasal Verbs and Idioms• Timesaver Reading• Timesaver Grammar Activities:• Timesaver London• Timesaver Plays• Timesaver Customs and Lifestyles in the UK and Ireland• Timesaver Newspaper Articles• Timesaver Speaking Activities: Advanced• Reward Resource Packs• Project International Ideas Book

    THE EFL SyLLABUSThere is a specially-designed syllabus for all our language levels, which ties in closely with the CEFR. This clearly presents the topics and the language structures/functions that are covered in class. Our teachers all follow this syllabus, however, there is also some flexibility to allow teachers an opportunity to integrate their own ideas and materials.

    ENgLISH pLUS ENgLISHThere is also the possibility for students to take English as a Plus option. This means that students have an additional two hours English tuition in the afternoon. For more information regarding our English Plus options, please contact head office.

    CERTIFICATESAn end of course EFL certificate is awarded to each student.

    TRINITy CoLLEgE SpoKENENgLISH EXAmIt is possible for groups to take the Trinity College Spoken English Exam. These must be booked by the 1st June wherever possible. Students who take the exam are given assistance and didactic support during the English course to ensure that they are well prepared for the exam. Many Trinity exam topics are covered in the Project International EFL syllabus.

    The English programme is a central part of the overall package we provide.

    A typical teaching dayClasses begin at 0915 and finish at 1245. There are two 15 minute breaks.

    09:15-10:15 The teacher presents a topic and some related vocabu-lary. A new grammatical structure or language function is also introduced, which is then reinforced using either a written or spoken activity.

    10:15-10:30 Break

    10:30-11:30 The focus here is on getting students to work together on a specific task, using the language function or gram-matical structure covered in the first hour. By setting an interesting skills-based task, we feel it stimulates com-munication and is also more enjoyable.

    11:30-11:45 Break

    11:45-12:45 The final hour of each teaching day is devoted to more creative language use. Thus, students are encouraged to work on a range of small projects related to the day’s topic, which are often presented by students to the class.

    Use of English Course

    We organise a ‘use of english’ course for students with a high level of english proficiency. the aim of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to learn more about British culture, engage in lively debate, improve their public speaking skills, and explore various aspects of english literature and drama.

    CENTRE FACTS Dover College is situated just outside the town centre of Dover, famous for its towering white chalk cliffs and medieval castle. Dover is located on the south east tip of England, about 75 miles from London. The college itself is in the Old Town and is within a leisurely walk of both the town centre and the railway station.

    The college and the grounds have a lengthy and interesting history. The college itself was opened in 1871 with the aim of giving “first class education at moderate cost”. However some of the buildings are far older and formed part of a Benedictine Priory, which in 1130 had been reconstituted from a collegiate church founded in 696. There is a stunning lawned “quad” around which the buildings are situated. The quad has 6 grass tennis courts, soccer pitch and volleyball court. There are other hard tennis courts and a large sports hall.

    ACCommoDATIoN We use a number of boarding houses at Dover College and each house is equipped with a television room, games area and homely bedrooms which vary in size from single to rooms

    with 4/5 beds and some larger multi-bedded rooms. Bathrooms are situated on all floors and these comprise wash basins, lavatories and both separate showers and baths. Each house sleeps about 50 students.

    note: we can now offer homestay accommodation at dover (families based in Folkestone).

    King Edward VI School, Church Street, Stratford Upon Avon, CV37 6HB recommended airports: Birmingham, East Midlands, London

    CENTRE FACTS King Edward VI School (or KES) can be traced back to 1295 when it was established by the Guild of the Holy Cross and there is a record of the ordination of Richard as Rector Scolarum, to teach the basics of learning the alphabet, psalters & religious rites to boys.

    The School was independently endowed by Thomas Jolyffe, a chaplain of the Guild, in June 1482. He gave to the Guild all the lands in Dod-swell and Stratford; the income from them was to be used, under certain conditions, on behalf of the School.

    Although the Guild survived the reign of Henry VIII, it was suppressed by his son Edward VI. When Royal Commissioners visited Stratford in 1545-1546, they made note of the School above the Guildhall. Edward VI granted a Royal Charter in 1553, making the Guildhall their headquar-ters, and assuring the future of the school. In the 1570’s, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, William Shakespeare was educated in the room above the Guildhall. In what is known as “Big School”, from the age of seven, Shakespeare would have been taught Latin, Rhetoric and perhaps Greek. Lessons began with prayers at 6am during summer, and continued until 5pm in the afternoon. In winter, although boys were expected to bring their own candles, the poor light meant a shorter day lasting from 7am.During the following four centuries, the School numbers fluctuated – at one time, in 1776, there were only three boys whose initials are engraved on a beam in Big School. In 1811, new regulations were drawn

    up stating no more than twenty boys could be in the school at any one time. If others wished to enter, they had to wait until a boy had left.With the 1944 Education Act fees were abolished and boarding ended. Major building work over the following half century has provided the space to provide an advanced curriculum of subjects for a school that now has over 550 boys.

    CoURSE DESCRIpTIoNThe drama course will be taught by professional teachers of Performing Arts, high profile theatre professionals and teachers, with degree level qualifications in their field.

    The course will focus on English in its spoken form, using drama and classroom-based learning to explore the themes of Shakespeare’s plays, the use of language and the style of Elizabethan theatre.

    During the two week course, students will discover the themes and dramas of the stories presented in Shakespeare’s most famous plays, leading to a staged performance at the end of the course. As well as developing spoken English, the use of drama and theatre exercises will offer a unique opportunity for the students to dis-cover themselves, to work as a team and to learn important life skills.

    We will have a Programme Director to oversee overall arrangements. There will be two full day excursions in addition to a visit to Shakespeare’s Birthplace in Stratford and a visit to a Show in Stratford. Sundays will be spent with the families.

    SCHooL FACILITIESKES is situated right in the middle of this world famous market town which is close to Oxford (to the south) and Birmingham (to the north). Aside from the infamous Big School described above and the drama studio, the school is very well equipped with ample classroom space, sports hall, adequate outdoor recreational space and playing fields (10 minutes walk).

    ACCommoDATIoN Accommodation will be with local families (2 or 3 students per family). Families will provide breakfast & dinner and a packed lunch to bring to school. Some families live close to the school and will accompany them to & from school; oth-ers, who live a short drive away, will transport students to & from school each day. We have our own local area coordinator to oversee all host family arrangements.

    EXCURSIoNSThere will be two full day excursions during the stay, one to Oxford & one to London. 

    project International are delighted to introduce a new programmes combining drama with English in the historical market town of Stratford upon Avon and at the school where William Shakespeare was a student!

  • YEAR ROUND STAYS LONDON EXTENSION STAYS

    london staysProject International offer London Cultural stays all year round for any number of nights, based in host family or hotel accommodation.

    We can tailor make a programme to suit any group’s needs – with transportation, specialised sightseeing tours, meals, entrances, theatre trips or full day trips out to cities like Oxford & Cambridge. We have a range of hotels catering for all budgets, and all centrally located and near an underground station.

    Many groups attending one of our residential summer programmes voice their concern that they do not get long enough in London on the full day excursion. As in many countries, traffic seems to get heavier every year and, accordingly, journey time increases and the whole day becomes rushed. We are recommending that groups consider either having 2 days/1 night in London prior to departure (either 13/20 nights in school followed by a night in London or an extra night in London over & above the 14/21 nights in school) or consider an overnight stay in London on the free day – though this may mean missing a morning’s teaching. For all further information & prices for 2013 Year Round London Stays and for Extended London Stays in summer 2013, please contact Head Office.

    academic year programmesBoARDINg SCHooL pLACEmENTSProject International acts for over 30 independent (private) schools (some girls only, some boys only, some mixed, some highly academic, others less so, some big, some small) and place children from overseas in such schools as full time boarders normally with a view to going on to a degree course in an English university.

    We can cater for children aged from 10 to 18 years and, as an ex Head of Department in a top English boarding school, our Managing Director is ideally placed to recommend the most suitable school for a particular individual. This is done in consultation with the parents or an agent representing such parents.

    Project International can assist the parent, or agent, in one of three ways:

    1. Project International, after discussion with the parent/agent, will recommend a school (or schools) and makes the necessary introduction. The agent/parent then deals directly with the school, completing all paperwork etc. No charge is made for this service by PI.

    2. As for 1) above but PI assists with all paperwork and acts as a local agent prior to entry. A charge is made for this service some of which is refunded if the student proceeds with one of the selected schools.

    3. As with 2) above but PI can also assist with guardianships, transport at start/end of each term and generally be a point of contact in the UK post entry, providing peace of mind for the parent. A charge is made depending on amount of support required.

    We also offer a range of government run schools with a minimum commitment of 2 terms. The cost is roughly half that of private schools and students live with carefully selected host families near to the school they attend. Please contact Head Office for further details of schools, termly fees, application procedures etc.

  • The programme offers students aged 13 - 18 the opportunity of learning in depth about London and all the hidden delights of the English capital. The course will be for 2 weeks (6th - 20th July). Students will be accommodated with families, principally in the Harrow area but also in other carefully chosen locations. Each weekday they will travel into Central London, by train, either for morning lessons with experienced and highly motivated teachers or to proceed directly with that days visit. When there are lessons, they will be held in excellent classrooms belonging to the Institute of Education in Central London and will be of varying length according to the nature of that day’s visit. A classroom session will focus on a different aspect of London - The Monarchy, St Pauls Cathedral, Entertainment in London, etc. Later, students will visit sites related to the topic they have studied in the mornings accompanied by their teacher.

    uk school integrationIn the school year 2013/14 we again increased our numbers for UK Integration stays. They are becoming extremely popular and a great opportunity to mix with English students immersed in a school environment. The programmes enable students to attend an English School and “shadow” an English counterpart through the school day. In 2013/14 we will be continuing to expand this product and will be opening up new schools/areas as well as offering these stays in boarding schools.

    We can offer integration stays at any time during the English School Academic Year. Minimum stay is 2 weeks, maximum 7 weeks For details on UK school holidays in 2013/14 contact PI Head Office.

    Remember government schools in the UK do not finish their school year until mid/late July so the summer is a popular time to participate in these programmesWe recommend a weekend arrival in the UK so that students can start school on Monday morning.

Students will engage in an EFL course provided by Oxford International Study Centre and learn subjects of interest at the University of Oxford / Oxford Brookes University.

    We will again be offering a family stay programme in 2014 based in the London area. We can offer families & teaching centres in Morden, Wallington, Harrow, West Wickham, Twickenham, Eltham & Bromley. For full details contact Head Office.

    yEAR RoUND HomESTAySWe can offer year round homestay programmes to individuals and groups either combining a study course (more suitable for groups) or merely a cultural stay. In the summer, we can also offer combination courses where students stay in an English family but study at one of our residential schools (see summer school section). The map below shows where our homestay centres are located.

    mINISTAySOur ministay centres are in caterham, tWickenham, Bromley, eastBourne, Brighton, sevenoaks and canterBury. We have first rate organisers in these centres and can offer an excellent product for groups wanting a programme either concentrating on cultural visits or study & culture. We can lay on all transportation for those groups coming without their own bus.

    ImmERSIoN STAySImmersion stays enable students to live with an English family and spend each day with that family. They are geared for individuals who have no contact with anyone from their own country during their stay (normally between 2 and 4 weeks.) Families would almost often have children of the same age as their foreign guest and they would totally immerse their guest in their day to day lives. No tuition is involved.

    We operate these stays in a number of towns around England including Hastings, Stratford upon Avon, Gloucester, Torquay & Brighton. Further details from Head Office.

    oNE To oNESAs the term implies these are courses where students live in a family and have one to one tuition, normally with the mother or father in the family. Tuition can be for 15, 20 or 25 hours a week.

    The student spends the rest of the day with his/her host family, again being totally welcomed into every day family life. Again we can offer a number of centres around the UK.

    contact head office for more information on all the above products.

    General Booking Terms & Conditions1) The first move by a client towards booking a

    group with PROJECT INTERNATIONAL (PI) must be to request a set number of places for a specified time period (arrival and departure to be clearly stated.) PI will then send a letter of allocation specifying how many places are being held, name of centre and the exact arrival and departure dates. It will also specify a cut off date by which time the reservation will be released. Deadline dates can be extended on request, though PI cannot guarantee to do so. An allocation letter does NOT constitute confirmation of booking in any shape or form.

    2) Once a client wishes to go ahead and confirm the reservation, they must put this confirmation in writing CLEARLY stating dates (as on allocation letter,) number in group (excluding free places) and clearly signed by the person responsible for handling the booking. All future correspondence will be addressed to this person. (NB. Numbers can be added at a later date subject to availability.) The booking will be confirmed and a contract will then exist, once PI have confirmed the details of the booking in writing. This will be done within 24 hours of having received the client’s confirmation letter.

    3) Within two weeks of having confirmed the booking, PI will require a deposit, an invoice will be raised for the projected total and the client will be in breach of contract if this payment is not made by the date specified.

    4) The balance will be due four weeks prior to arrival in the UK. (In the event of an option being taken out less than four weeks before arrival in the UK, full payment will be due on confirmation.)

    5) As stated above, extra numbers can be added to a group at a later date (subject to availability.) This will be confirmed in writing and an invoice raised accordingly; payment will be expected immediately if less than four weeks before arrival.

    6) Should a client have to cancel a booking, it must be done in writing to PI and, once received by us, we will acknowledge this in writing within three working days of receiving the client notification. Cancellation charges are payable as follows:

    More than 4 weeks before commencement date - loss of deposit 3-4 weeks before commencement date - 60% of holiday cost will be charged 2-3 weeks before commencement date - 85% of holiday cost will be charged Less than 2 weeks before commencement date - 100% of holiday cost will be charged

    7) PI reserve the right to exclude, expel or refuse any person at any time to any course or activity if, in the opinion of PI, that person is not compatible with the general enjoyment or well being of other clients. In this case, no refund will be given for any unexpired portion of the activity, course or tour.

    8) No cancellation will be paid or refund given if the cancellation or change by PI is brought about by war or threat of war, strikes, disaster, terrorist activities, quarantine, technical problems with transportation, weather or any other event outside the control of PI.

    9) PI shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any luggage or any person undertaking a holiday, or any loss, delay or inconvenience, or fatal or other injuries or illness suffered by that person, provided PI has exercised reasonable care

English Plus), centres, travel details and host families are subject to change and are dependent on weather, programme requirements, and a satisfactory level of participants. PI reserve the right to make any necessary change for any aspect of the programme prior to arrival or during the holiday. Where it is necessary this will at all times be done with the success of the programme, and the overall enjoyment by the group(s) concerned, in mind.

    12) Bed linen is provided but towels and soap are not.13) No responsibility can be taken by Project

    15) Project International reserves the right to inspect all student bedrooms in the unlikely event of thefts occurring on campus.

    16) The price of your holiday is fully guaranteed and will not be subject to any surcharges. [EXCEPT: Prices quoted include VAT where applicable at 20%, the rate at the time of printing, September 2013. Any increase in VAT , however, will be added to the price of the holiday.]

    17) This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions which are governed by English Law and both parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of English court at all times.

    18) Students will be required to pay a deposit of GBP 30.00 IN CASH against damages on arrival at the school. This will of course be returned to them at the end of their stay should they not be responsible for any damages. This deposit can be paid in Euros and, with groups, the group leader will be responsible for collecting & depositing such monies.

    19) Please note that we cannot ever guarantee which rooms and what size of room any students will occupy. We can take requests and will do out utmost to accede to these requests but can make no promises whatsoever.

    20) No refunds can be given whatsoever if groups/individuals decide not to take any particular element of the course (ie. an entrance or an excursion).
