The Programme at LAL Action Camp at Zinkwazi

At LAL we believe in the ideal formula, that the combination of “serious study” and “serious fun” brings the best results in terms of progress in English. We use an eclectic style of teaching where you and your classmates will work with a variety of up-to-date materials with which you will study grammar and vocabulary, as well as the four main skills - listening, reading, writing and speaking.

 

All course materials are provided (books on loan), including an LAL Student Handbook. The material will be supplemented by discussions, role-plays and other ways of increasing your active language. We will also provide you with lots of practise of your English pronunciation and intonation.

 

There are 15 informal lessons every week. Lessons can be in the morning or afternoons.  There are no lessons on Saturdays or Sundays.

 

All the staff are qualified, native speakers or native-speaker standard.
