About the Lessons

  • We have prepared our curriculum and lesson plans in parallel with the curriculum followed by English Summer Schools in the UK.
  • The 2-week course includes a total of 40 hours of planned General English lessons. Regular lessons are held every weekday between 09:00 – 13:00.
  • Listening-Reading-Writing-Speaking exercises are produced in an integrated and up-to-date manner, with synchronized development in all skills our target. We aim to develop skills for production and functional language.
  • At the end of 2 weeks, students realize that English is primarily a means of communication, not a subject.
  • Students learn interactively in the classroom and apply what they know in the classroom environment, and develop their skills for use, living outside the classroom. In addition, the other activities are designed to supplement the lessons.
  • Each group has 2 teachers and 1 group leader. The most striking feature of this course is the high staff-student ratio.
  • We are motivated to provide an engaging learning environment with attentive supervision.
  • An interactive learning approach is adopted with highly qualified teachers and CIU professors.

Workshops and "My Community"

In addition to English classes, teenagers and young adults experience a variety of workshops and labs based on their interests and preferences. In the workshops, students learn from university professors and learn how to be a university student in an international classroom environment.

One of these workshops is the “Sustainability Workshop”. When students complete their studies here, they are officially certified by CIU.

Some other workshop options and laboratory studies are; Upcycling Workshop, Mechanics Workshop, Biology Laboratory, Chemistry Laboratory, Gastronomy, Visual Arts, Coding Workshop, Law Workshop, and Equestrian Workshop.

All students learn by living, experimenting, absorbing and discovering themselves. At this point, there is one aspect that makes our course different from other courses: “My Community”

In addition to the advantages of existing as an individual and acquiring autonomous skills, the student has the ideal environment of freedom to develop the ability to live in a community with peers from different cultures. They develop the skills to take responsibility, make decisions and take action.

CIU International Interactive and Intensive English Course is not just a language course. It also provides excursions and beach fun where students have the chance to enjoy themselves, make new friends from all over the world and improve their daily English language skills.
