Oxford International Oxford

Muchas gracias, LinguaTrip, por organizar mi viaje. En general, lo disfruté. Estuve allí por 4 semanas, pero para mejorar tu inglés, creo que necesitas estudiar más. Durante mi curso, una maestra fue cambiada una vez en mi grupo, lo cual no fue lo mejor, pero no afectó mi impresión del viaje. Definitivamente recomendaría LinguaTrip.

Estudié aquí por 2 semanas. ¡La escuela fue genial! Mientras estaba en el Reino Unido, estudié en dos escuelas. ¡Esta escuela fue la primera y las impresiones son maravillosas! Había muy pocos rusos en la escuela y fueron estudiados en otro grupo. Entonces, era una buena oportunidad para hundir los dientes en la atmósfera de otro idioma. Viví con un anfitrión familiar. Fue genial como si estuviera en casa.

¡Agradezco a Linguatrip por su ayuda! A veces cambié la fecha de mi viaje y todo fue muy rápido y sin ningún problema.

¡He recomendado tu compañía a todos mis amigos y colegas! Mis amigos van a irlanda por Linguatrip. Estoy seguro de que estarán satisfechos.

Hello, I liked everything. My school is located in the very city center, no problems with transportation, the interval between buses are 10 minutes. There are numerous shops, cafes, parks, free museums around. The school has met all my expectations. There is a lounge room with mini-kitchen and a ping-pong table, also there is a computer class on the 2nd floor, students can use the Internet and some studying materials there. The very classes are modern and comfortable, the lessons are interesting, the teachers do their best.

You can always appeal to them for some help, they will show and explain you everything you need. They conduct an excursion not only to the school but also to Oxford, which is really convenient. The school provides with exercise books, you can buy some, but if you wouldn’t like to - they would give you the copies of book’s pages.

I had no problems with my host family. They were accommodating, showed me the way to my school, helped to buy a transportation pass (ask bus driver). We took a breakfast (basically it’s cereal or flakes, you can take any products from a fridge and cook them) and a dinner (it’s cooked by a host).

The school offered various types of entertaining activities, you can find its schedules at each floor, also at the reception desk. After graduation, you get a certificate and a report about your level with teacher’s comments.

I don’t want to hurt anybody, but I’m pretty hard disappointed. Perhaps I had high expectations about studying in England, but in fact it was a partial waste of time and money.

1. The teaching methodology doesn’t differ from courses in Moscow (Moscow courses) – the teacher gives a task from the book and you discuss it with your partner. Only in Moscow you are communicating in “Russian” English and don’t strain to understand crazy accents of Latinas/Arabs/French. You listen to the real English during studying exactly same as in the homeland.

2. Residence in a “family”. First I was put in an African girl from one the French colony (there were no living conditions, I asked to move me and got to some Pakistani!!!, so I ran back to that girl. So what “English-Speaking environment” in a family is it involved about?

3. And leisure. Probably an age played here – I’m 35 years old, therefore I hadn’t got special points of intersection with rest of the student group. I walked myself and tried to communicate with the British, which was hard to find both in Oxford and London (I went there for 3 days Bank Holidays), because there were a lot of emigrants.

Anyway there were no immersion and improving the level.

Total conclusion: Up to the Advanced level it is need calmly work at home and then go not to school, but simply to travel, book a room through Airbnb, get acquainted on the internet with students-British and pay them for walking with you around the cities and this exactly will be more effective.

Realmente disfruté mi entrenamiento.

Esta es una experiencia inexpresable)

Entrenamiento.

La escuela fue excelente. Los maestros y la administración siempre van a una reunión.

La escuela está ubicada en el centro de la ciudad, cerca de tiendas, una biblioteca, museos.

La capacitación es sistemática, completa.

Antes del viaje, mi nivel en Rusia se evaluó como Intermedio.

En la escuela, el primer día, me hicieron la prueba y me asignaron el nivel de Intermedio Alto.

Al principio pensé que podría terminar por completo este nivel durante un mes, pero ahora entiendo que para un movimiento hacia arriba un nivel cualitativo que necesita al menos 3 meses.

Tomé 3 lecciones por día durante 1,5 horas. Me di cuenta de que era suficiente. Cuatro lecciones al día, sería difícil para mí. Pero los estudiantes de Rusia básicamente toman 4 lecciones)) Ellos son considerados valientes)

El libro de texto que se emitió fue simplemente increíble. Es fácil hacerlo tú mismo. La capacitación está construida de tal manera que en una semana el grupo pasa a una cuadra del libro de texto. En total, hay 14 bloques en el libro de texto. Vine al grupo cuando estaban en la 10ma manzana. Parte del material se estudió de forma independiente, es especialmente agradable que el libro de texto proporcione muchos ejercicios de audio.

De muchos países, los estudiantes van por seis meses; este es realmente el momento en el que puedes subir un par de niveles. Los estudiantes de Rusia en su mayoría van por 2 semanas. Desafortunadamente, esto es muy pequeño, durante este tiempo es casi imposible aprender algo sistemáticamente. Solo puedes bucear en el ambiente.

Algunos vienen por una semana, pero durante este período, en mi opinión, solo se puede ver la ciudad.

Te aconsejo que vengas durante al menos un mes. Lo que me di cuenta por mí mismo que la gramática y las palabras valen al máximo para estudiar en Rusia, y en Inglaterra para ir a practicar la escucha habilidades del habla y conversación en vivo en Inglés.

Aunque, nuevamente en mi opinión, en la escuela sería posible prestar más atención a los diálogos. Desafortunadamente, no todos los maestros monitorean de cerca y controlan (corrigen los errores) el diálogo de los estudiantes durante las clases.

La mejor maestra es Kate. Gracias a ella, gracias a su profesionalismo, pude mejorar mi nivel de habilidades lingüísticas.

Creo que mi nivel de inglés ha aumentado en un orden de magnitud. Se hizo más fácil percibir de oído, hablar (aunque no a nivel de Intemediato Superior), comenzó a leer literatura no adaptada.

El camino

Lo que fue más aterrador y lo que más me preocupaba era el camino. Me daba miedo llegar de Moscú a Oxford. Y, cuanto más cerca de casa en Oxford, peor.

Como resultado, alcanzando de la siguiente manera: No hay vuelos de Moscú a Londres, luego en autobús - Londres (Gatwick) - Oxford, a continuación, a la estación de autobuses en taxi, en autobús de la casa familiar.

Experimentado mucho. Como resultado, no fue tan aterrador.

Sin embargo, sería genial si LinguaTrip ayudó con la transferencia.

Lamentablemente, no hay un servicio de transferencia a la familia de acogida (

Y tomar un taxi desde Londres a Oxford es más costoso que viajar en avión.

Ocio.

En la escuela, según lo escrito anteriormente en una revisión, ocio organizada, pero los estudiantes inactivos participar en ella, pero los organizadores no buscan incrementar la asistencia. Todos los días se organiza, o va al museo, o en una cafetería. Me encanta viajes, por lo que anuncian "especiales" tales viajes con sus amigos, como resultado de la pista de hielo y un museo, fuimos para 2-3 personas de todo el colegio))) Pero aún así fuimos, esto es muy bueno)

Alojamiento en casa de familia

Primero ella vivía en una familia que estaba ubicada en los suburbios: una hora para llegar a la escuela.

El primer día que dije en la escuela que me gustaría cambiar a mi familia.

Me cambiaron en una semana, pero me satisfizo.

La nueva familia estaba más cerca, había una mujer jubilada en la casa, una habitación grande, alimentada normalmente)

Estaba satisfecho)

I liked it all very much! An ideal place to learn English and to immerse yourself in the language environment and to feel aesthetic pleasure from the city of Oxford. I recommend this school, only the most pleasant impressions of such a useful vacation were left.

Thanks, Linguatrip!!

Friends, I spent time in a wonderful school UIC English international in Oxford just a week, but there were a lot of impressions!

First of all, I will say about the school itself - I already had experience of studying in it (in London), this time I was preparing for the IELTS exam. On the first day, I did not have to take a test (as all new students do), since I was already tested in London :) So, on Monday I started right away from the fight - or rather, from classes in the IELTS class! Teachers are wonderful (I can say that about all the staff of the school - I think, many of you have heard about British hospitality and goodwill, but here somehow especially :)

I will not say that during this short period I significantly raised my level of language and preparation for the exam, but all the wishes for the lessons the teacher took into account! Plus - staying in the country one way or another raises the conversational level accurately - in my group there was not a single Russian student. In general, I can say that you are merging into the "atmosphere" of the language and then feel good in it!

I will also say about living conditions!

Honestly, this was my first time in the student residence - I lived on Stanley Road 15. A very nice place - a cozy British house for only 9 rooms! I had a very clean room with a design, as the British call it "lovely" :) was really one funny moment: I arrived on Saturday, and not on Sunday, when the settlement usually takes place, and I was not expected to be in the residence ... apparently, the school forgot to warn about my arrival. But all this quickly settled down - after 10 minutes of my insistent calls to the door they gave me a great room!

I will say, of course, about Oxford himself! A stunning beauty! I really love London, but now my favourite city in England - definitely Oxford! Architecture, local restaurants, ancient churches, nature - everything fascinates you! So I did not want to leave! I will definitely return again to this city (maybe as a university student :) I'll be honest, before I went to the city for students, I was firmly planning to make a master in Canada, but now I will think about England! This city is madly respected by students! And if you are not one of them, the entrance to many colleges or historical buildings is simply closed to you (even for a fee). Therefore, two outlets - either to make friends with students, or to become one himself :) To enter Oxford University is, of course, difficult! But even this is possible (although there are about 125 Russian students studying there for 25 thousand students). But there is now a goal - to increase this number :)

I booked a course using linguatrip. The school is small, but comfortable. I did not experience any discomfort in anything. Staff and teachers are very friendly. They can always be contacted for help on any issues. The school cooperates with the tour agency and on the weekend you can choose a tour and explore England and attractions - the prices are quite affordable, it was even cheaper than going independently in the same direction. As for leisure, it does not always collect enough people after classes to spend time together, all are milled by nationality - French-speaking with French-speakers, Chinese with Chinese, Arabs with Arabs, Spaniards with Spaniards, Russian-speakers with Russian speakers.

Remember - one week - it's not enough, you just start to adapt, and already it's time to go back ((

In my case, I was 3 weeks there and only in the last week I realized that here I am, in England, and stopped trying to say something in my native language.

I wish you all to spend an unforgettable time in England, as it was for me!

School and the city of Oxford highly recommended - I did not regret it!

I went to Oxford for 3 weeks. I liked the school, interesting classes, teachers and staff are always ready to help. But when my teachers were sick, I had to deal with a lower-level language group. The school offers a variety of leisure activities: visiting colleges, pubs and restaurants, traveling to other cities ... Oxford International (UIC) is a good place to find friends, improve your English and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of England. It was a terrific experience!

Just do it and go to Oxford :)

Excellent organization, good teachers, excellent location. I liked everything very much, most of all I liked as the staff arranged "Brazilian, English" and evenings. It was very cool to take part in such evenings, as you meet with new people, learn the culture of other people, etc.)

I combined my vacation with a useful time, like learning English in Oxford

I had a fantastic experience!

Really useful to pass my English exam in my country.

I had best group with guys from Chili, from Sweden, Denmark, Russia and Italy. We had so much fun with our teachers and on our excursion to London

Personally, my opinion about the English school UIC Oxford - extremely positive! :)

I was absolutely happy with the choice of the school, the choice of the place of study, and about everything!

Firstly, I think that if there is such an opportunity, it's simply gorgeous to learn the language where it is the official language of the country. After all, it's not just a couple of classes a day, but also practice all day long - in a shop, in a cafe, in a club, on excursions and anywhere else!

It was very nice to live in a family, not a hostel, because I could practice my English with them.

In the school UIC, everything is perfectly organized: after passing the test, all new arrivals are distributed according to the levels. The whole first half of the day is classes. They give wonderful educational materials, which you can keep to yourself and then take them home! I believe that studying at school helped me to advance in my work and remove the language barrier! And of course to see the world, see a wonderful country and have a good rest!

To be honest, I liked the atmosphere in this school. Absolutely everything, no matter at what level you are, everybody is your friend. The location of the school is the best for Oxford, in the center of the city. All sights, restaurants, shops are in the neighboring streets. This is a special place for spending time with new friends after classes.

excellent school with perfect staff and teachers. You can find everything you need and there is always someone who can help you. it is in the city centre and it's very close to the bus station which connects all the city. I spent here 3 weeks and I think that my English is better a lot. The lessons are very interesting and interactive. You can also use an online platform for one year and in this way you can continue to read, listen and improve your skills also at home.

Thanks for everything!

¡Estudiaba en UIC durante 2 semanas, en este periodo me sumergí en la atmósfera estupenda de la vida en una pequeña ciudad británica, el nível de la lengua se mejoró, recibí el montón de nuevas impresiones y, claro, encontré muchos nuevos amigos!
