Sprachcaffe Sydney - English School
Description
Most people associate Sydney with an impressive harbour,
the famous opera house, the 2000 Olympic Games. But the
largest city in Australia with its 3.5 million inhabitants
has a lot more to offer: Bondi Beach, the Colonial Rocks,
Harbour Bridge o the nearby Blue Mountains. All of this
makes Sydney
one of the most exiting cities in the world. Anyone
looking for untouched wilderness, the excellent cultural
shows and other attractions or wanting to participate
in one of the innumerable sporting activities will find
all the advantages of a modern city set in a spectacular
location when visiting Sydney. Besides, there are kilometres
of beach to enjoy and many sun-filled lessons. Sprachcaffe
Sydney - English School is located in the city centre,
surrounded by exclusive shops, cafes and restaurants,
not far from Chinatown and Darling Harbour.
Accommodation
In Sydney,
Sprachcaffe English School offers its students accommodation
in carefully selected family homes, with half board and
with the possibility of choosing between single or shared
bedrooms. Residential accommodation on the university
campus is also available.
Academics
The key to a fast, progressive and lasting training effect
is the conversational principle. From the very beginning
all efforts of the teachers at Sprachcaffe
Sydney – English School are channelled toward
a fluid and lively exchange which is essential so that
each new detail of the learning experience can be applied
practically and in this way go on to form part of the
vocabulary and ready to use in a natural and spontaneous
way. It is evident that with such high expectations, close
individual attention must be guaranteed to each student.
Therefore, learning groups are usually made up of a maximum
of 15 students. There is a choice between the Standard
Course (4 daily lessons, 20 lessons per week) and the
Intensive Course (6 daily lessons, 30 lessons per week).
Cambridge Certificate Preparation Courses are also offered.
Activities
The city offers many possibilities and choices for your
free time as it’s a city where you can take part
in a wide variety of sports, especially water sports,
but also golf and bridge jumping, as well as participate
in the lively cultural life (shows at the opera house,
visits to the National Cultural Aboriginal Centre, among
other museums). There are also monuments to see: Darling
Harbour, Sydney Tower reaching 325 meters into the sky
with panoramic view of the city and its skyline, the historical
suburbs on the outskirts of the city and even the Blue
Mountains, the Olympic Stadium and the most characteristic
feature of all, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.
The Rocks is Sydney’s oldest neighbourhood and still
has historical buildings with colonial style architecture.
