English Alive was born in 2000. The pre-determined programme was created to give students the opportunity and the environment to use the English learnt at school. It was felt that students should be given the possibility to actively use English as a means of communication and not to consider English as just another school subject. English Alive has been adopted by many like-minded schools.

The concept is a simple one: We take a team of mother-tongue speakers (qualified EFL teachers) into schools overseas to teach English intensively for 5 or more days. The classes are small, usually no larger than 20, average 16, an ideal environment for communicative activities. The course provides a platform for students to activate their English in an exciting and reassuring environment.
