You will receive a map of Scarborough on arrival. If you are staying in homestay accommodation, your host will show you the quickest way to get to Anglolang. All accommodation is within walking distance of Anglolang .

Anglolang is open from 08.30 to 17.00 Monday to Friday. You should arrive at the school approximately 08.45 and go to Anglolang’s reception where you will be met by a member of staff and given a student folder. The folder will include a registration form (which you should complete on your first day), a new student questionnaire (which you should complete during your first week) and information on learner training.

In the entrance hall there will be a class list board with your name on it, so you will be able to see which English class you are in. English lessons will begin at 09.00 so you should find your classroom before the English lesson starts. In the entrance hall you will also see a staff photo board.

On your first day you will receive an induction, where you will receive a brief tour of Anglolang , including a visit to our study room with self-access resources. You will also be given an Anglolang student card which has the Anglolang emergency telephone number written on it. It is important that you know this number. This number is for emergencies only.

If you would like to have your photo on the student card, please bring a passport sized photo with you. If you have obtained a visa, you will need to have your passport ready to show us during the induction.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment, abbreviated as CEFR or CEF, is a guideline used to describe achievements of learners of foreign languages across Europe and, increasingly, in other countries (for example, Colombia and the Philippines).

More information about the CEF and levels at Anglolang can be found here FAQs Levels.

To find out more about our methodology please go to Learning at Anglolang

English lessons are based around topics, such as work, travel or current affairs. Topics are chosen in consultation with students as part of the ‘negotiated syllabus’. The topic-based English lessons are taught using interactive whiteboards. Anglolang’s teachers are able to use up-to-date, authentic resources from the Internet, such as YouTube videos as well as digital English language course books.

Skills
When you join an Intensive English course at Anglolang, there are lots of opportunities to practise speaking English and improve English fluency. Speaking is improved through discussion, role-play, mini-presentations and pronunciation activities. Teachers also focus on developing English listening, reading and writing skills. Anglolang students are helped to read faster and improve their English vocabulary through authentic texts. Writing for communicative purposes, such as letters, reports and essays, is often practised as homework.

Grammar
Grammatical structures are introduced and reviewed according to the needs of students when negotiating the syllabus.

Vocabulary
English vocabulary is a very important part of all English lessons at Anglolang. Teachers give advice on how to effectively record, learn and activate vocabulary.

You will have 2 different English teachers if you book morning lessons only and 2 or 3 different teachers if you book afternoon lessons as well.

All teachers at Anglolang hold an internationally recognised qualification to teach English to international students. They have a teaching qualification and experience in teaching English as a foreign language in the UK and/or overseas.

At Anglolang we try to mix nationalities as much as possible to provide an opportunity to meet new friends from other countries. It is highly likely that you will be in a class with at least two different nationalities. The nationality mix, however, will always vary as it usually depends on the time of year that you book a course and the course that you book.

Before arrival you will be asked to complete an English placement test so that we can place you in an English class at the correct level. Your teachers will then monitor your English progress on a daily and weekly basis in an informal way. For example, they may do an end of week English vocabulary test or quiz to check that you have learnt the new words introduced during the week.

If you book a long term course (12 weeks or more), you will have monthly tutorials during which your English progress will be discussed and goals will be set.

If you book an English examination course, you will also have regular mock examinations.

On completion of the course you will receive an Anglolang Academy of English certificate of attendance.

Anglolang online is an extra-study resource website for long term Anglolang students.

You can also continue learning English by making use of the recommended websites we provide in the Student Folder received on your first day at Anglolang.

Some courses may be modified if there are not enough students on the course (for example, examination courses). We reserve the right to offer a reduced number of lessons for all or part of the course.

If you are staying in homestay accommodation, you will be provided with breakfast, packed-lunch and dinner every day. Breakfast usually includes cereal, toast, fruit juice, tea or coffee. You can eat your packed-lunch at school during the lunch break which is from 13.00-14.00. In English homes dinner is usually served between 17.30 and 18.30, depending on your host’s routine. If you intend not be home for dinner, or will be late, it is important that you inform your host.

Dinner can be arranged in some guest houses by prior arrangement with the landlady/landlord. Lunch is not included in the price.

Most students stay in homestay accommodation as it provides an excellent opportunity to practise English with their hosts. However, some prefer more independence and therefore choose guest house, hotel or self-catering accommodation.
We hope that you will be happy with the accommodation we have selected for you. If you need to discuss any aspect of your accommodation, please go to reception and the Accommodation Officer will assist you. If you are staying in homestay accommodation and you decide that you want to leave your accommodation then we normally require one week’s notice, unless there are special circumstances.

Unfortunately we are not able to offer refunds if you are staying in a hotel, bed and breakfast or self-catering accommodation. Refunds are also not offered if you decide to go away for the weekend or short periods of time during the course.
