Excellent séjour à Guernesey!
Bonjour,
Paul a passé un excellent séjour à Guernesey. Il a séjourné deux semaines chez la famille d'accueil avec son copain Louis. Ils ont été très bien accueillis dans la famille. Elle les a chouchouté! Pancakes le matin, sortie à la plage, jeu de société le soir après le dîner, visite de Little Chapel…. Un super accueil!
Paul a beaucoup aimé les différentes excursions. C’était vraiment formidable , que même pour un séjour de deux semaines, il n’est jamais refait une seule fois la même activité. Il y a vraiment un véritable effort d’offrir une diversité d’activités différentes! Il n’y en a pour tous les goûts.
Il était peut-être juste un petit peu plus mitigé sur les cours. Le problème étant effectivement les différences de niveau d’anglais. Lors de plusieurs cours, ils ont formé des groupes de niveaux qui permettaient d’avoir un enseignement plus adapté. Il a en tout cas fait sans aucun doute, des progrès en expression orale. Peut-être que le petit conseil à retenir est de privilégier l’expression orale (plutôt que l’expression écrite ) qu’il est toujours compliqué de travailler dans nos classes de 30 élèves en France.
Encore merci pour l’organisation et pour les conseils. Ce séjour était tout à fait adapté à Paul et correspondait pleinement à nos attentes
Bien cordialement

The right mixture of learning, sightseeing and enjoyment.
I had my first impression of Guernsey when I saw it on TV - a beautiful island in the Channel with an interesting mix of British and Mediterranean culture. Many years later, I finally decided to combine a holiday with refreshing my English. I booked a one-to-one course at the Academy and spent a lovely week in September with just the right mixture of learning, sightseeing and enjoying everything - sun, nature, food (delicious lunch with Anna Lisa!). There is plenty to see in Guernsey (Occupation Museum, Victor Hugo House ...). My teacher was marvellous and at the end of the week I found out that she was the mother of one of the actors in the TV programme I had seen - that was a funny coincidence! I came back to Guernsey for a second course in September 2018. I miss the island terribly!

Why you should Learn English in the Channel Islands
On behalf of all the team at Channel Islands English Academy, I/ we would personally like to welcome you to our school. We started in 1990 with just a handful of students, and today we now welcome over 250 EFL students every year from every corner of the world.
The Channel Islands English Academy is a spin-off of Accent Language School, which offers foreign language tuition for everyone from pre-school children to university students and specialised courses for businesses or adults looking to learn a language for their holidays. We established the EFL side of the business soon after, and children and adolescents flocked to the island for our summer school. Over time we have updated the activities and modernised our teaching resources, but the core of the summer school has stayed the same, and the island’s natural charm continues to attract groups – young and old alike – from all over Europe and beyond, many of whom have developed strong ties with Guernsey and their host families.
Our qualified EFL teachers are friendly and professional and know how to develop every student’s language learning so that they can reach their potential. Our staff understand that younger students may experience homesickness and are trained in offering learners support where necessary.
Whatever you are looking for, we will accommodate. Our advantage of being located on a small island is that we have expert knowledge of what is available and will craft courses which perfectly combine EFL with activities to suit your individual learning and holiday needs.
Guernsey’s location near the French coast makes it a popular choice for French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and Italian learners, who can cross from Cherbourg and St Malo in under 2 hours via ferry. Alternatively, our airport has airlines with routes to and from London Gatwick, Stansted, Heathrow, Jersey, Southampton and more. Guernsey and its cluster of islands boast beautiful beaches and coastal cliffs as well as vast natural habitats, and there is plenty to see and do here in terms of sports and water-based activities, walking routes and nature trails, gastronomical experiences, or cultural enrichment.
We collaborate with Guernsey’s silver and gold accredited guides who have undertaken rigorous evaluations and regularly to provide a myriad of tailor-made tours and trips to showcase the island’s extensive heritage and history. There are many well-preserved sites of local history spanning from the Neolithic period to medieval churches and bunkers from the Second World War. If you want to visit Herm’s sandy beaches or experience Sark’s breathtaking scenery. We will organise this for you in advance depending on your location and interests so you can sit back and not worry about planning on arrival.
Every student is a valued member of our Academy. You’ll always be welcomed back.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Anna Lisa & the CIEA team.
