Academic activities

Academic activities

Learning English should be fun and rewarding. During your program, the ESL teachers will plan various indoors and outdoors class activities so that you can practice the skills you are learning in real settings.  Teachers will take you to volunteer at community events, visit the library for research, tour museums and participate in university lectures and events so that you have the opportunity to interact and communicate with native speakers. Students from other classes are welcome to join in activities happening outside of their regular class schedule.

Throughout the year, APPROACH hosts parties and events to ensure you will make friendships that will last a lifetime. Keep an eye out and don’t miss Valentines week, the Annual Summer Barbecue in July, the Halloween festival in October, the Thanksgiving dinner in November and, the holiday celebration in December. The monthly activities calendar is available at the main office. You should sign up for activities in advance to guarantee availability.

Our Activities calendar includes all academic activities scheduled for each month as well as some fun and more relaxed outings including excursions around the Boston area, movie sessions, graduation parties and our traditional International Lunch where students bring a dish from their country to share with friends and teachers.
