Language Courses (Morning)

General Information

The main language of our Salem Senior Camp is ENGLISH. All daily information, announcements etc. are in English. It is therefore a requirement that all applicants have had a minimum of 3 years of English lessons at school and are able to understand information in English. This applies to ALL students, not just those applying for our English course. There is no minimum requirement for German.

Lessons take place both weeks for three hours each morning from Monday – Friday.

All students sit a placement test in their chosen language of study on the day after arrival. The results are used to allocate the teaching groups.

English

All students will be taught a variety of written and oral skills, including grammar, listening comprehension, literature, composition and business English.

German

Beginner - Students will be taught basic German language skills, with a focus on conversation.

Intermediate - Challenging and engaging reading material and discussion topics will help students to improve their German grammar and widen their vocabulary.

Advanced - Students will be encouraged to compose essays and articles on different topics whilst engaging in class discussions and group work. This course is particularly helpful for German students living abroad who need to improve their written German skills.

Language Choice

Please choose either English OR German. It is NOT possible to take both language courses!
