Description:
The course is designed to improve communication skills that most often take second seat to grammar lessons. Instead of being the mainstay of the program, grammar lessons give you a basis for the intensive conversational aspect of the program. Beginner and high-beginner level students with a basic grasp of English will get the most benefit from the course, gaining both better grammar and communication skills. Students at an intermediate level will gain more fluency and the vocabulary necessary to work and play in the outdoors in an English-speaking environment.
We firmly believe in a hands-on participation approach to learning while still providing the classroom time necessary for correction and full understanding. Students get an opportunity to meet guests, staff, and other students from all over the world. Practice using your English in one of the most beautiful natural settings in the world.
This is your opportunity to turn learning English into the ultimate adventure. Live an ESL ranch adventure with 15 hours of classroom study a week. Spend your afternoons participating in activities designed to help you practice your English skills and develop conversational fluency. Learn how to saddle a horse, then explain the procedure to your partner. Go on a scavenger hunt through the ranch property following increasingly difficult instructions. Tell your fellow students about the Mule Deer you saw playing in the back pasture.
Highlights:
Make your English learning experience truly unique by hiking up to one of our alpine camps during the summer months. Students can choose to spend one or two weeks or the entirety of their program at camp. Practice your English skills while learning wilderness skills.
Go all out on the weekends with optional camping trips. Go to a nearby lake to spend the day swimming, or go skiing in the winter. After completing the ESL program, you can use your freshly-honed English skills to enjoy one of our many holidays such as a Wilderness Guest Ranch Stay, a Pack Horse Trip or a Wilderness Alpine Hike.
