Most residential accommodation
for these summer months is fully
booked as early as April or May
and even before in some cases.
Additionally, most schools do not
reserve the accommodation you
have requested until your booking
is fully confirmed. For this reason,
you should confirm and pay a
deposit as soon as you are sure
that are going to attend the course.
Homestay accommodation
(half-board) provides in most
cases, a single room with
breakfast and evening meal from
Monday to Friday, and usually
lunch on Saturdays
Sundays.Some schools can offer
and
Homestay and self-catering.
Residential accommodation is
available at some schools in
summer. Apart from the above,
schools will supply addresses of
hotels, B&B’S etc. Remember that
these establishments may be
much more expensive than similar
places in your own country.
Welfare
British Council and inspectors
of all major accreditation bodies
ensure that the school realises
how difficult it can be to come and
study in a foreign country. They
look at information and support
for students, and procedures for
dealing with emergencies. If the
school offers accommodation, the
inspectors visit it, and check that
the school inspects it regularly
and that student complaints are
acted upon promptly.
This guide will provide you with
all the essential information you
need to choose the right course. In
addition to educator information, it
shows clearly the location, facilities
prices and conditions of each
centre.
Our booking service for any
student all over the world is FREE.
It is the quickest, simplest and best
way to reserve your course. By
special arrangement Educatours
get the best price for all courses
including groups bookings.
For further information, specific
requests and requirements,
please contact us.
Accreditations and Memberships
Accreditations and Memberships are very important when you are looking for a reliable and
trustworthy education provider, as well as meeting our very own high standards; we insist
upon these key accreditations and memberships in our business partners. Whilst each
partner has many more, and in some cases country specific, testimonials, we believe that
these are the most important to you.

 European Funds Lifelong Learning
Programme
EU residents of the following
countries may be eligible for
– Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2013 funding under the Lifelong
Learning Programme.

European monies for education AUSTRIA

are available in 4 main funding
packages; Comenius (largely for BELGIË
Teachers), Erasmus (which largely – BELGIQUE

ITALY

– What is available and who is it for?

Some readers will be aware
that grants, loans, bursaries and
other funding maybe available to
assist you with financing your
education. Often the rules and
application processes are
complex and confusing and in
many cases not generic. The
following is a brief outline of some
of the things that "may be"
available to residents of the
European Community to help
finance education. It is true to say
that in the main it is a combination
of the course, the course location
and the student that attracts the
funding but in the first instance
you should obtain advice directly
from Educatours.
University and Higher
Education
Going into higher education
could be one of the most valuable
things you ever do, setting you up
for a greater choice of jobs, and
a good chance of better pay.
There will be costs while you’re
there. But to help you cover them,
there’s lots of financial support on
offer.
EU nationals
As an EU national, or a family
member of an EU national, you
can generally apply for financial
help to cover the cost of tuition
fees when studying in England,
Wales or Northern Ireland if:
you have been living within the
EEA and Switzerland for the
three years immediately before
the start of your course
your main reason for being in
the EEA and Switzerland was
not to receive full-time education
If you or your parent, guardian
or partner were temporarily
employed outside the EEA and
Switzerland for all or part of the
three-year period, you may still
qualify for help.
Student Loans and non-
repayable grants from the
government can cover your
tuition fees and help towards
living expenses for full-time
students. And a non-repayable
bursary from your university or
college could put more money in
your pocket. Bursarys differ from
University to University, so it is
wise to check with us first.
Grants. A third of all new
students are expected to receive
the full amount of Maintenance
Grant ( 2,835), while the further
third will receive a partial grant,
depending on household income.
Bursaries On top of your
Student Loans or non-repayable
Maintenance Grant, your
university or college will also offer
non-repayable bursaries to a wide
range of students.
Exactly what’s on offer is up to
your university or college.
Students paying the maximum
tuition fee and receiving the full
non-repayable maintenance grant
are guaranteed to get at least
310 next year.
In practice, you could get much
more than this – in 2006/2007
a typical bursary was around
1,000. And this was available to
a wide range of students.
You only start repaying your
Student Loans when you’ve left
university and are earning over
15,000 – and you don’t have to
repay Maintenance Grants and
bursaries at all.
International students from
outside of the EU and EEA are, in
the main. not eligible for UK
student loans and grants. You will
pay a higher fee than home
students too, though this does not
mean there is not any financial
help. Many universties offer some
scholarship awards to international
students and in some extreme
cases, International students may
qualify for the same assistance as
Home, EU and EEA students do. It
is best to ask advice first.

Travel in the United Kingdom is relatively
easy with a good network of transport routes

Cosmopolitan Cities, available by road and rail. Often, unless

booked well in advance rail travel is expensive
and whilst our partners offer airport pick-ups, most

London has three main Airports in Heathrow,
Gatwick and Stanstead. Each is

and coast and the English Riviera
The United Kingdom is
perhaps one of the most
popular countries in which,
students chose to learn English
or go to university. Learn
English at an English School or
English Language Centre in the
United Kingdom or Sudy at
a United Kingdom University
and become the best you can
be. Whatever your motive –
career development, further
study or personal interest –
study in the UK will take you to
the highest level.
How do I chose the best
place to study?
There are thousands of
schools and universities in the
United Kingdom, over 350 of
them are members of English
UK alone, and so the standard is
high. Educatours have carefully
selected, what in our opinion, is
the best of those schools and
each one of them comes with
our approval and as a minimum
expectation is accredited to
membership of English UK and
the British Council. Other
prestigious award bodies have
also approved many of our
partners.
Which Location should
I chose?
London is perhaps the most
popular choice, a vibrant
bustling cosmopolitan Capital;
there is never enough time to
do it all. Whether you chose
a language centre in the City
like St Giles, Francis King or
EC or you opt for the leafy
suburbs of Hampstead,
Muswell Hill or Wimbledon you
are never far away from the
main attractions, museums
and theatres.
For something more
traditional and within easy
access to London, you may
choose the idyllic beauty that
has for centuries produced the
countries best scholars; of
Oxford or Cambridge.
If you would like something
slightly different from London,
why not try the English Riviera of
the South West. Enjoy English in
the beautiful surroundings of LAL
in Torbay or International House
in Torquay and also in Bath;
where you can encounter Roman
history in the washrooms and
Georgian architecture in the
streets. Day trips to Stonehenge
and to London by coach or train
will give you the opportunity to
view some of England’s most
beautiful scenery.
The South Coast of Brighton
and Worthing might appeal to
those wishing to embrace the
freshness of the sea air or
maybe you’ll head North to
Anglolang, where you’ll find
beauty and history in
Scarborough and also golden
beaches to dream of, on your
return home.
Perhaps the warmth of
a Great Northern welcome in the
sporting Cities of Newcastle or
Manchester is what you desire
or a City with a majestic and
colourful history like York,
Edinburgh, Belfast or Chester
will be your choice.
Whatever your choice, your
destination is sure to bring you
Language, Culture and an
experience to remember.

You, the learner, are encouraged to
participate actively in the process of
learning and acquiring the

their qualifications by providing
them with financial support for
further study and training, and all

training for teachers. As well as
English language teaching, St Giles
is also a leading teacher training
organisation, offering Certificate
and Diploma ELT qualifications.
Our expert teachers, who are
training other teachers, continue to

which means St Giles has some of
the most experienced and well-
qualified teachers in the field.

Brighton
Location Brighton is located in
the south of England, on the
eastern coast. The region enjoys
a mild, sunny climate sunny and
warm periods most of the time.
In the winter months, however,
the temperature can drop rather
low with frequent raining periods.
When Brighton became
a favourite vacation spot of the Royal
Family in the 18th century, much of
the high class English society
followed suit. As a result, Brighton
immediately became synonymous
with glamour and sophistication,
and still today, Brighton is very much
regarded as a hip place. Watch one
of its sporting events held in the city,
or enjoy the nightlife in what is one of
Europe's liveliest club scenes, or
simply stroll along the pier or
promenade.
Originally a small fishing village,
some parts of Brighton still have
the old fashioned feel. To
experience it, visit the "Lanes",
a collection of narrow alleys now
filled with antique shops,
restaurants, bistros and pubs.
Also, with two universities in the
town, Brighton is a very
cosmopolitan and hip place. Come
experience it for yourself!

Complement or Compliment?
A "complement" is something which adds a new quality to an
item, usually to improve it or make it complete.
"This wine makes an excellent complement to the fish."
Also, if two things are "complementary", then they go well
together to form a whole.
"They have complementary personalities."
However, a "compliment" is an expression of praise or approval.
You can "pay a compliment" to somebody, or simply "compliment"
them.
"When I arrived for the date, he complimented me on my dress."
"What an unusual hair colour you have!" - "Thanks, I'll take that
as a compliment."
As a company, when you send out free information to interested
parties, you may enclose a "compliment slip".
You may also recognise the word from staying in foreign hotels.
However, beware: when you see the sign, "The mints are
complimentary", this does not mean they will say nice things about
you – it means they are free of charge!

Malaca Instituto
Location Malaga
The major defining characte-
ristics of Andalucía, the southern
region of Spain in which Málaga is
found, are the result of the 800
years of occupation by arabic
peoples from Africa, which
continued until 1492. They
brought with them their music (the
roots of flamenco), their palaces
and white-washed villages,
fountains and flowing water,
books, libraries and universities –
all this at a time when the rest of
Europe was in the savage depths
of the Middle Ages.
It is these influences from
another continent and culture that
create what many visitors describe
as the "passion and mystery" of
Andalucía and which make it such
an interesting and exciting place
for your language studies.

where artists, architects, writers
and scholars did things rarely, if

palaces, squares, churches,
monuments and museums.
Today FLORENCE is an active
commercial centre for business
and banking, for the production of
leather goods and clothing, as
well as for fashion design. The
perfect dimension of a „town
made to man's measure”,
FLORENCE counts less than
500.000 inhabitants. At the same
time its innumerable artistic
treasures and the natural beauties
of the Tuscan countryside attract
many people from all over the
world to come to FLORENCE as
their place for an unforgettable
combination of learning and
pleasure. After a busy day, the
numerous and characteristic
restaurants, bars, and discos of
FLORENCE offer both residents
and visitors a pleasant and
animated way to meet people and
make new friendships

that necessary mastery of the
language to face all the situations
of daily-life.
One of the school's main
characteristics, which is much
appreciated by our students, is its
friendly atmosphere that is
established right from the first

France
Nice
France is a vast world of culinary,
geographic and historical discovery!
The ABC regions of France – Alsace, Burgundy
and Champagne – have been at the heart of history
since the beginning of civilization and today the
influences, dating back as far as Julius Caesar, can
still be seen. The past is everywhere – in the
architecture of majestic castles and cathedrals, as well as humble cottages and
inns. In the rich and robust recipes that have been handed down for generations
and served daily on weathered farm tables and in three star restaurants. In the
centuries old forests and equally old wine cellars. In fact, you’ll discover entire
villages built in the unique „half-timbered” architectural style associated with the
Black Forest. From the hundreds of museums that carefully preserve the artefacts
and stories of romance, rebellion and revitalisation, to the fairs and festivals that
preserve the rituals and customs of this noble heritage, the past is always present.

Dan La Midi
Let us start with the beautiful Cote D’Azure, for many, it is the
stylish Mediterranean playground – the glamour queen of the coast
but in the gaps between the uncontrolled and often eclectic
developments, and on the offshore islands, the remarkable beauty
of the hills and land's edge, the scent of the plant life, the mimosa
blossom in February and the impossibly blue water after which the
coast is named, the Côte d'Azur remains undeniably captivating.
Located in South East France on the French Riviera, 30 km away
from Italy between Cannes and Monaco, Nice is our first entry for
France this year and has been chosen as it is one of the easiest to

 Guardianship
White House Guardianships
White House Guardianships cares for children studying
at some of the best schools in Britain. If required, we offer
a free placement service with advice on the right choice
of school for each child.
With over twenty years of
experience in school selection and
guardianship, the wealth of
knowledge in our family business
and our long-standing relationship
with schools all over the UK has
attracted students from more than
30 countries.
Head Office maintains contact
with parents/agents by e-mail and
fax, reporting regularly on each
student’s progress and immediately
should any particular event or
incident merit attention.
From Head Office, our staff co-
ordinate the activities of a highly
trained team of Local Coordinators
throughout the UK who act as local
guardians, living close to the child’s
school and providing constant care
and support. They maintain regular,
individual contact with all of our
students by telephone, letter and
personal visits, passing a constant
flow of information back to us for
transmission to parents. This also
means that if you have children at
different schools within the United
Kingdom, we can provide
guardianship cover, meaning you
only have to deal with one
organisation.
page 54 LanguageZone
The UK School year is
divided into three terms:
Autumn: September­December
Spring: January­March
Summer: April­July
The safety of every child is
paramount.
All our staff at Head Office, our
Local Coordinators, Host Families
and Transport Drivers are verified as
safe persons to be with children by
the UK Government’s Criminal
Records Bureau. Whilst conforming
with the guidelines of the Children
Act 1989, we also meet the
professional standards of The
Association of Educational
Guardians for International Students
(AEGIS) & The Association of
Guardianship Services (TAGS).
Our guardianship service is
designed to provide for every need
that a child in a British School
would require, and which would
normally be provided for by their
natural parents.
We hope to allay the
understandable anxiety of parents
whose children are many miles
away from home and to provide the
pupil with the friendship and
Discounted packages available on all courses
security to enable them to fulfil their
place at the school with the same
confidence as their peers whose
parents are close at hand. For
private school students we arrange
family accommodation during half
term holidays and exeat weekends,
Private School Programme
(Available to students aged 7­18
years from any country)
British private schools have
a worldwide reputation for
excellence. They provide an
outstanding education in an
environment that combines long-
standing tradition with a modern
enterprising philosophy that
prepares their students for the
challenges of adult life. Many
students reach high levels of
academic achievement and usually
go on to study at university.
In our experience, students
benefit more as boarders. They
become a much more integrated
part of the school community, and
their progress is considerably faster
than students who decide to live with
a family during term time. Boarders
tend to be more confident and
independent, and show greater
qualities of leadership and
responsibility.
We take great care to regulate the
number of students of any one
nationality in the same school. This
ensures maximum integration and
encourages the use of English at all
times. During half terms and exeat
weekends, we arrange family
accommodation for all our boarding
students.
In summary, Private Schools offer
greater parental choice, smaller
class sizes, supervised homework
sessions, and an extensive choice of
sports, music and the creative arts.
Principal GuardianShip
Programme
A White House Local
Coordinator, is the students
immediate point of contact, living
within forty-five minutes of each
child’s school. They will act as the
student’s guardian and are
responsible for him/her whilst at
school or staying with a host family
during an exeat or half term
holiday.
State School Programme
Schools participating in this
programme are selected very
carefully on their record of
academic achievement and for
their enthusiasm in accepting
students from other countries.
These schools comment that they
benefit as much from the cultural
exchange as the foreign students
themselves. Great care is taken to
regulate the number of students of
any one nationality within the same
school to ensure maximum
integration and to encourage the
use of English at all times. Schools
are generally located in small
communities and not in large cities.
Students live with a carefully
chosen host family within easy
reach of the school and their Local
Coordinator is available by
telephone and email. We
encourage students to become
fully involved in the social life of the
local community.
University
Programmes
In addition to Languages, Guardianships and Work
Experience programmes, Educatours can also arrange
your University Programme.
Selecting a course and
a course location can be a long,
complex process and whilst we at
Educatours do have access to
several hundred Universities
across the world, we prefer to
offer you a selection of the best
and most innovative that we have
to offer
Funding
Going into higher education
could be one of the most valuable
things you ever do, setting you up
Discounted packages available on all courses
for a greater choice of jobs, and
a good chance of better pay.
There will be costs while you’re
there. But to help you cover them,
there’s lots of financial support on
offer. Funding in one way or
another is available, sometimes in
limited sitauations, almost world-
wide.
However, in truth it is most likely
that you or your family will fund
some or all of your Univeristy fees.
Here is a basic guide of what may
be available.
University Programs
Student Loans and non-
repayable grants from
governments can cover your tuition
fees and help towards living
expenses for full-time students. And
a non-repayable bursary from your
university or college could put more
money in your pocket. Bursarys
differ from University to University,
so it is wise to check with us first.
Grants. A third of all new
students are expected to receive
the full amount of the UK
Maintenance Grant ( 2,835),
while the further third will receive
a partial grant, depending on
household income.
Bursaries. On top of your
Student Loans or non-repayable
UK Maintenance Grant, your
university or college may also offer
non-repayable bursaries to a wide
range of students.
Exactly what’s on offer is up to
your university or college. In the
UK, students paying the maximum
tuition fee and receiving the full
non-repayable maintenance grant
are guaranteed to get at least
310 next year.
Other. Other government grants
are available in some other EU
countries but elibillity varies.
Eductatours will check with your
choice of University first.
EU nationals studying
in the UK
As an EU national, or a family
member of an EU national, you can
generally apply for financial help to
cover the cost of tuition fees when
studying in England, Wales or
Northern Ireland.:
International students in the
UK from outside of the EU and
EEA are, in the main. not eligible
for UK student loans and grants.
In many EU countries, you will
pay a higher fee than home
students too, though this does
not mean there is not any
financial help. Many universties
offer some scholarship awards
to international students and
in some extreme cases,
International students may qualify
for the same assistance as Home,
EU and EEA students do. It is
best to ask advice first.
Universities outside of the UK
may also have a range of different
sources of funding to offer.
