Perfect the English Language with Oxford Royale

Our courses suit every ambition: whether you’re studying for an English exam, or looking to improve your spoken English, there will be the perfect course on offer.

Immerse yourself in the English Language

The summer school provides a total linguistic immersion in English, helping to improve students’ confidence rapidly. Conversations in English happen around, not just in the lessons, and effort is made to ensure students broaden their social groups so not to speak too much in their native language.

Meet your goals

Getting to grips with language in use is a focus of English language study at Oxford Royale – from courses with a vocational focus like Business English and Legal English for adults, to dun activities like creative writing exercises in our courses for under 18’s. Activities that build grammatical understanding are frequently paired with entertaining tasks so that students are always aware of how their newfound knowledge can be practical and enjoyable to use.

Enjoy life on campus

An Oxford Royale summer course will prove an unforgettable summer experience, combining academic rigour with a lively, engaging classroom setting and a host of events, workshops and excursions for all ages. Students will enjoy a superb two weeks immersing themselves in the language while making connections that will last a lifetime.
