Target English International runs junior summer courses for English language students aged between 10-17, with students from various countries including Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Czech Republic, Argentina, and Cyprus.
Students usually stay for two weeks and take part in a mixed programme of lessons and activities/excursions run by Activity Leaders.
Our Mission: At Target English International, we aim to provide our students with a comfortable and caring setting in the UK to improve their communication in English and develop skills for a more global society.
Overview of role: Activity Leaders are at the core of our activities programme, requiring enthusiastic, personable, and energetic individuals to help organise and prepare the social programme, run activities, take students on trips and excursions, and ensure that our students have a memorable, fun, and safe time.
Activity Leaders need to be flexible and willing to undertake a variety of tasks, as directed. On weekdays, students usually have classes in either the morning or afternoon, with the rest of the time spent on local visits, excursions, or on-site activities.
The working week is 48 hours over 6 days, split into morning, afternoon, and evening shifts, including working every Saturday and Sunday. You have one full weekday off per week. Due to the nature of Summer School, there may be times when additional hours may be necessary, in which case time off in lieu will be given when the needs of the centre allow.
We encourage students to speak English at all times while on activities and excursions, and Activity Leaders are expected to engage with all students and ensure that English is being practised. Activity Leaders are required to complete a paid, online induction prior to their contract start, along with online Safeguarding and online Prevent training.
Activity Programme: In each centre, we run a busy, varied, and exciting activity programme aimed specifically at teenagers. An important aspect of the activity programme is for students to learn about the local history and culture of the area in which they are staying and the UK in general.
We combine activities and English language learning through the use of our Activity Books, which are individual to each location and to be used by the students on each trip. It is part of the Activity Leader’s duties to encourage the use of these books and to assist the students.
In addition to excursions and local visits, we also deliver a wide range of sports and other onsite activities. We also offer Drama workshops in every centre, led by the Drama Activity Leader and supported by Activity Leaders.
