ISS Spring School 2018 English Discoverers Programme For those who would like to get serious about improving their English language skills during this break, the ISS Spring School 2018 has developed an all new programme to help. It will be a two-week intensive course to equip you with a strong foundation, enabling you to flourish in your reading, listening and speaking abilities in English. The lessons are geared towards building confidence in grammar, vocabulary, writing and speaking in a friendly group environment, that will encompass conversational role play (talking to each other) and task-based assignments (having fun with English). Our approach is bespoke, with our experienced teachers customising the English programme based on each student’s need and proficiency level. So if you feel that your English skills could be sharpened, this is definitely the programme for you. Don't miss out.
