Join us at our Mandarin Summer Camp in China

The team at Xplore are very excited about the new and exclusive international language camp in China that we will be running this summer! 

Students from all over the world will join us from 11th July to 1st August 2015 for a unique language and culture experience.  The camp will offer three weeks of language, culture, activities and amazing excursions. Students will be fully integrated in their lessons (both Mandarin and English) and will be encouraged to support and assist each other throughout their language learning.

 Key highlights of the camp: 

 * Return flight from Frankfurt/London to Hong Kong with transfers in China  * Language and culture lessons, divided equally between Mandarin and English  * Amazing two day excursion to Beijing to see the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square * Activities offered during the camp include kung fu, horse riding, sailing, Chinese tea ceremony, calligraphy and dragon dance  * Day excursions to Hong Kong, Shenzhen Bay Park and theme parks * Evening entertainment 

We are offering a limited number of subsidised places, for further information please email info@xploretheworld.com

It was announced by the UK government in June 2014 that tens of thousands of pupils in the UK will be given lessons in Mandarin to introduce “the language of the future” into state schools and we hope this language camp will offer the perfect introduction to Mandarin or an opportunity to improve a students level whilst experiencing Chinese culture.

The Telegraph recently reported that 'more than 1,200 specialist Mandarin teachers will be trained in the subject to give state pupils the same access to classes as their counterparts in private schools' and that 'the move will be made as part of a plan to open the biggest training centre for Mandarin outside China – the Confucius Institute – to be based at the Institute of Education in London.'

Elizabeth Truss, the Education Minister, said the move would double the number of children learning the language to GCSE level by the end of the decade.

English test success for Language students!

Xplore are proud to announce the first Anglia Examination results for the 2013 season. During the past six weeks of summer, nearly 2,000 students aged six to eighteen, have participated in the Language Activity Camps across seven centres nationwide.

Of the 53% of exams marked thus far, our students have achieved a fantastic 95% average pass rate combining all those who achieved a pass, merit or distinction grade.

We are still awaiting the remaining results of the Anglia test papers, which vary through nine different levels from ‘First Step’ to ‘Proficiency’, measuring all aspects of learning a language – listening, reading, writing and speaking which our specialised teachers delivered through seven different teaching levels, available at different camps across the UK.
