Students and teachers spent the morning working hard in English lessons.
Ludlow is in beautiful countryside. But Birmingham the super cosmopolitan second city, is only just over one hour away. That means More Than English students can get the best of both worlds.
Birmingham, in the heart of the Midlands (central region of the UK) was an industrial powerhouse during the industrial revolution, but these days is probably better known for its fantastic universities including The University of Birmingham, currently ranked No 15 out of 140 in The Times) plus the biggest and perhaps one of the most modern and architecturally ambitious shopping centres in Europe.
Home sweet home
Interesting: students always love the fun of going to the city. But, they always seem glad to arrive back home in their international community in their countryside palace: Moor Park.
Preparation for international night
In the evening our lovely students working in mixed nationality teams started preparation for International Night, which is tomorrow.
Food for thought
Shopping on summer school excursions: that's controversial, isn't it? Consumerism is destroying our planet (your planet) isn't it? Young people love fast fashion but shouldn't we avoid encouraging this altogether? In fact, shouldn't we be trying to reduce shopping time on excursions to zero? On the other hand, teenagers just really enjoy shopping and although with globalisation we're tending to get the same shops in every country, it is still exciting to visit shops in different countries.
