Emerald Young Leader and Young Learner International Virtual Programmes

Following the success of our Junior Summer Virtual Programmes and requests from our partners and students, we are delighted to launch a range of term-time courses for teens for autumn 2020.

Young Leader and Young Learner International Virtual Programmes:

Our Young Leader and Young Learner programmes are enrolling now and will start on 5^th October, running for 8 weeks.

Suitable for students aged 10-14 (Young Learners) and 14-17 (Young Leaders), we are offering a unique opportunity to join an international virtual programme from the comfort of home.

This course is ideal for students looking to complement their in-school English language lessons with experienced teachers and 

• Expert online tutors
• international classes
• level and age-specific lessons
• access to our unique, custom built Emerald Learn platform to engage with other students in forums and write class blogs in English.

The carefully guided language lessons, real-world stories and TED talks will motivate Young Leaders to think creatively and communicate effectively. Learners will be encouraged to develop an open mind, a critical eye and a clear voice in English.  They will stage presentations, conduct interviews and perform “real-world” tasks through role-play activities.

Young Learners will join a topic-based programme, which will provide them with the possibility to consolidate their learning outside of the virtual classroom. 

Trinity Walton Club STEM Programme:

Students with a C1 level of English or higher can join the Trinity Walton Club (Trinity College Dublin), starting 17^th October until 12^th December. Students will join with Irish students for two hours per week on a Saturday for a virtual STEM programme, learning topics such as Artificial Intelligence and Coding. Open to students aged 13-17, throughout the programme they will develop key skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, research skills and communication.

Pathway to STEM:

Students with a passion and curiosity for science can also avail of an exclusive opportunity to attend the first term of the Young Leader/Learner programmes (5th October – 4th December) to improve their English level and join the Trinity Walton Club in Term 2, starting 16th January 2021 (minimum C1 level required).
