LOCATION & CAMPUS

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 southeast 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.

the class, which is then reinforced either through a written or spoken activity. This may often

include role-play situations.

10:00 - 10:10 - Break

10:10 - 11:10 - The focus here is to get students to work together on a project. By setting an

interesting task, we feel it encourages students to communicate and is also more

enjoyable...

groups or get involved in a class discussion on a topic of interest.
