Whatever the chosen town or city for your language study stay, you will
benefit from facilitated access! If you wish, you may book the "ESL airport
transfer" service. A member of our team will drive you directly to where you
are staying. A practical service for a smooth landing.

care of the students from their departure at the train station in Lausanne
until their arrival at ESL Westerwald. In this way, you will travel in a relaxed
manner, without worrying about the train changes to be carried out.
By bus
ESL organises bus transfers from the main cities in German-speaking
Switzerland, bound for the course centres located in French-speaking
Switzerland. This is a good opportunity to get to know some other
students before the arrival at the course centre.

We look for the best environment possible in order that your language study stay is a real success. The supervision of our students is effective and discreet,
adapted to the age-group and the type of accommodation booked. In this way, each student can gain maximum benefit from his/her stay in complete safety.

necessary safety. In the ESL residences, a complete 24-hour surveillance allows for optimal supervision. Students who choose ESL host families benefit from
more free time in accordance with their parental authorisation. Emergency numbers, which are reachable on a 24/7 basis, are in service in each of the ESL
course centres.
The ESL language courses
Learning a language has never been so fun!

The ESL course programmes have been especially designed for young students and are adapted to the level of each
participant. Thanks to sound teaching experience, ESL proposes an effective and enjoyable approach to language
learning. The teachers attach particular importance to communication. They propose interactive and motivating
classes which allow for the easy practice of newly acquired language skills. Progress is made naturally in a pleasant
atmosphere.This is the dream opportunity to develop your language skills and to have an unforgettable
experience.
The ESL teachers

Our teaching team is made up of young and dynamic teachers who teach in their native language. The ESL teachers
are chosen for their teaching talent, their enthusiasm and for the attention they know to give to each student. They
make every effort in order to create a relaxed, fun and stimulating atmosphere. The topics of the lessons are as close
as can be to the interests of the students. Even during the extracurricular activities, the teachers encourage the
students to use the language being studied. This fun and motivating teaching is the key to effective learning.
Courses adapted to your level

Whatever their level of skills in the language they are studying, our students take a course adapted to their level.
At the beginning of their stay, all of the ESL students sit an evaluation test, thanks to which each student is placed
in a class corresponding best to his/her level. Each week, a small evaluation allows the teacher to accurately follow
up on the progress being made by each of his/her students.
ESL certificate
At the end of your stay, you receive an ESL certificate which attests to your participation in classes, validates
the language level reached and specifies the results obtained.
Standard and intensive courses
Standard course
20 lessons per week
(Leysin-Juniors / 15 lessons per week)
Intensive course
25 lessons per week
(Leysin-Juniors / 20 lessons per week)
The ESL classes take place from Monday to Fri-

day. In each course venue, you have the choice
between a standard course and an intensive
course. If you choose the intensive course, you
benefit from an additional lesson per day, fo-
cussed mainly on oral communication and the
development of common projects. The module of
25 lessons is ideal for gaining maximum benefit
from your group classes.
Optional courses
Conversation courses
This course includes two weekly lessons of 45
minutes. Thanks to game-related exercises in
various contexts (role plays, theatre, etc.), the
conversation course will allow you to develop
your ability to express yourself in a more fluent
and natural way in various situations of everyday
life.
Private courses
In order to make maximum progress, you can
choose the ESL private course programme. This
option allows you to benefit from an additional 5
lessons of 45 minutes per week in order to reach
your personal objectives.
Included activities
A fascinating programme!
At ESL, we are convinced that a great programme
of activities is a key element to the success of a language
study stay. It is for this reason that, in all of our camps,
we propose a very complete and varied programme,
offering numerous exciting opportunities for sports,
encounters and leisure, which allow to create a warm
atmosphere, strengthen links of friendship between
students and of course, greatly contribute to the practice
of the studied language.
And in order that each of our young clients may participate
in full security and that no one is left out, all of the
activities, organised and supervised by our teams of activity
coordinators, are entirely included in the price of the stay.
Sports
In each of the course centres, a dozen or so varied sports, included in the programme, are proposed to students during their stay. On a daily basis,
several indoor or outdoor sports are organised and supervised by the ESL team. According to your preferences, you can, for example, choose between
beach volleyball, badminton, basketball, football, street hockey, swimming and table tennis, among others.
Excursions
In order to add a cultural dimension to the activities programme, ESL also proposes numerous excursions. They are organised each week in our
various course centres. In this way, in Switzerland, you visit, depending on the course venue, the medieval Château de Chillon, the Brissago Islands
or the tourist city of Lucerne. Contemplate Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower or explore Monaco or the Île Sainte-Marguerite on the Côte d’Azur for
example. Westerwald proposes, among others, the Chocolate Museum in Cologne, or an incredible Sea life centre, or even a crossing on the Rhine. Each
week, the discovery of the region in question takes place over a day and a half which is dedicated to these excursions and which allow you to discover
the region. Your camera is a must!
Evening activities
The evening activities organised by ESL are favourable moments during which you can practise your newly acquired language skills in a relaxed way.
Whether for cinema, barbecue or disco evenings, the ESL team in charge of organising the activities make every effort in order that you may make
memorable progress.
