EngXcel's mission is to respect equality, diversity and inclusion in helping people from the global community to learn English.

We aim to provide a supportive and welcoming environment which enables all our students to develop their English language skills to the full and to explore British life and values, as well as encouraging tolerance and cultural awareness amongst all our staff, students and partners.

Ensuring comfort, safety and wellbeing in our school community is at the heart of everything we do.

Overview

Experio English is a partnership between

EngXcel

and

Experio Summer

which delivers quality English language tuition at all levels and in accordance with British Council standards at

Bishop's Stortford College International Summer School

(BSC ISS) in July and August. BSC ISS is open to all international students travelling individually (13-17 yrs) or as part of an accompanied group (8-17 yrs).

Successful applicants will be employed by EngXcel Ltd.

Note: free board and lodging is available with this role.

BSC ISS operates a six-week summer school split into three courses:

Staff induction days: 7 - 8 July Course 1: 9 - 21 July Course 2: 23 July - 4 August Course 3: 6 - 18 August
Priority is given to those applicants who can commit to the full period of 7 July - 18 August.

We work with young learners aged 8-17 years. Following level assessments on their first morning, students are grouped into classes (max. 16 students) appropriate to their age and level of English, using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1-C2).

Intensive English or exam preparation options are available in the afternoon for motivated students wishing to make additional progress with their communication skills in English (speaking, listening, reading, writing) or to prepare for English exams when they return home.

BSC ISS offers excellent classroom and teaching facilities with up-to-date IT and AV equipment in every room. It is our expectation that teaching staff will use this equipment to provide the best possible language-learning experience that will encourage engagement and interaction from all participants.

With an entirely new intake of students every two weeks, it is permissible to reuse course planning and material, vastly reducing the amount of preparation time required.

At the end of each two-week course, teachers will produce a short report for each of their students. This will be presented along with their attendance certificate.
