IPC - English Language and Danish culture and society Folk High School summer course at International People's College in Denmark

 

  • Class size is limited to approximately 12 students

  • Meet locals and understand the Danish culture and society 
  • Around 700 DKK per day – everything included (excursions, meals, lessons, room etc.)

Study English language in Denmark

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.

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 Folk High Tradition in Denmark is known worldwide for rethinking education and learning methods. When studying at International People’s College you will experience how learning can be fun and engaging – that learning is a way of live. 

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.

What level? 

Learning a language can be challenging so we will do our utmost to make sure that the perfect conditions for learning are available. We use the Common European Framework Reference (CEF/CEFR) to determine the levels of individual students. If you are unfamiliar with the CEF, please take your time to look through this overview before marking your level of English in the application form. Please try to be as precise and honest as possible – it’s for your own benefit! After you have been officially accepted we will send you an online Oxford Online Placement Test so we can verify you language level to help place you in a class with a suitable level to maximize your learning potential.
