English Through Sport, Theory, and Leadership
We believe that the best English Language sessions come from practising, engaging, and integrating in an English speaking environment. Students will take part in sport theory sessions where their language skills are enhanced through communication, practical tasks, and teamwork in the classroom, gym and sports hall.
