Choosing the right English language summer camp in the UK for teenagers depends on the balance between academic learning and recreational activities. Some camps prioritise sports, games, and play, offering a fun-filled experience with an international atmosphere. Others focus on academic progress, providing intensive English tuition designed to deliver concrete improvements in language skills. The best choice will depend on whether the primary goal is a summer holiday experience or significant language development.

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is one of the world’s most recognised English proficiency exams. It is widely accepted for university admission, professional registration, and migration purposes.

IELTS tests four key language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. There are two versions of the exam:

• Academic, for those entering higher education or professional fields.
• General Training, for individuals seeking employment or residency.

The Pre-Sixth Form Scholar English course at OISE Newbury is a good choice for international students poised to enter English boarding schools or Sixth Form colleges. 

This mini foundation course aims not only to equip students with robust academic foundations but also to foster an authentic English identity within them, critical for their success in future educational endeavours.
