‘I believe that learning English should be fun. Stimulating, student-centred creative activities help participants to become immersed in the language, helping them to speak, think and even dream in English!’ Sara Downham-Lotto
Language learners enjoy a unique and memorable experience making art with a professional artist who is also a fully certified TEFL teacher. Participants spend the day drawing and painting, through English. Seen more as an opportunity to have another ‘English’ experience, there is no expectation for participants to be budding artists. Away from the constraints of the ordinary classroom, they are able to communicate and express more naturally without fear of making mistakes. Outcomes include:
Groups of up to 25 adults/ young adults over 14 years for whom English is not their first language. Suitable for both proficiency level and complete beginners in English as a second language.
Either I come to you wherever you are, or if you’re local, make the most of an enhanced learning environment at my studio in rural Northumberland.
