Speaking about the British Council’s Summer School, Michael Gordon, Teaching Centre Manager, India explained: “We know that one of the best ways to develop language proficiency is through stories, and Shakespeare’s stories are some of the best stories ever written, and performed”

Gordon went on to state: “the language of Shakespeare is also wonderful. We introduce Children to it via carefully designed lessons, so that they understand and enjoy it, and feel inspired to read further and also to produce their own creative language”

Learners also get the opportunity to enter art and writing competitions, win prizes in a Shakespeare themed fancy dress event and take part in a performance in the final week of the course in our two hundred seat auditorium.

The Young Learner Summer School promises to be an enjoyable programme where children get to demonstrate their teamwork, creativity and English language skills. We also offer young learner speaking and writing courses, general English courses and workshops in storytelling, poetry, debating skills and more.

Our Summer School in Delhi runs in two sessions from 23 May – 12 June and from 20 June – 17 August.
