Programme overview for the course held Summer 2022 – to give you an idea of the course content: 2022 English Language and Danish Culture programme

Study English language in Denmark

The main objective of the language section of the course is to gain self-confidence in using English language in your daily life. We will cover all language skills (i.e. grammar, speaking, reading, writing, listening, pronunciation, and vocabulary). We will however, try to focus on speaking and developing skills to talk about oneself; one’s culture and background, describing feelings, expressing needs and opinions, etc. Other topics will be determined by the students’ own interests. In addition to grammar drills, listening to audio, watching video clips, reading articles, playing games etc., we will use the student’s own experiences as a basis for the speaking activities. The main goal is to have fun while gaining the self-confidence to express oneself in English language.

Class size will be limited to approximately 12 students whose English level should be between elementary and intermediate (A2 – B2). If there is enough demand for other levels, additional classes may be added. The course will require active participation and willingness to do some homework after classes.

Go through a brochure about the English Language and Danish Culture and Society Course or see an example of a timetable (nb. the brochure and timetable are about the three weeks long summer courses at IPC – not the two weeks long course during winter. The course in wintertime is similar but shorter).

Excursions

The course fee includes two full day excursions – one will take you on a tour of Northern Zealand and the other one to Copenhagen. There will be a lot of possibilities to go on trips and discover the beautiful beaches, forests and other interesting sights in and around Helsingør. Within easy reach from International People’s College is the most spectacular art museum of Northern Europe, Louisiana, the home and museum of Karen Blixen, the cities of Roskilde and Copenhagen, and Christiania. The course during wintertime will also offer excursions – they are yet to be announced.

Certificate

After completing the requirements of the course, a certificate will be issued as to document your new skills in English language.

A stay at a unique Danish Folk High School

Apart from an excellent program, we offer a cosy, nice and safe environment in which to learn. You will engage with students from all over the world, make friendships, have fun, learn from one another and share cultural peculiarities. You don’t have to worry about anything. We offer nice accommodation (either in single or double rooms), delicious food, a decent sport hall, a wonderfully lush park with a small beautiful lake and a bonfire place where you can spend evenings dreaming around the fireplace.

The school is located close to the sea, so you could head down to the beach for a refreshing swim or go treasure hunting in idyllic downtown Helsingør. You can also hop on the train to Copenhagen (read more about Copenhagen), which is only a 45-min ride away, or board the ferry for a 20-min trip to Helsingborg, Sweden.

We quite simply offer you a place where you have no worries, plenty of friends, possibility to relax, watch movies or TV, play pool, ‘fussball’, and other social activities (read more About IPC  here), while you learn English language.

“Denmark is actually a very interesting country. Very small and unique. I really enjoyed the lectures about Denmark and the excursions too”, Luisa from Argentina.

“Before this course I was too embarrassed to speak English in public spaces, but now I feel really confident and don’t mind it at all”,  Louise from Denmark.
