My daughter joined the study tour organised by Excel to England last year.  She stayed in the school and no need to travel on her own.  She enjoyed the trip very much.

My boy is going on a study tour to UK this summer.  The tour is organized by his school, but the boys will take courses in UK offered by Excel Academy.  The cost is £2200 for 15 nights exclusive of airfare and insurance.

我仔學校暑假搞去西歐10天瑞士同德國, 原定P4-6去後來人數不足, 所以亞仔P3都有機會參與, 因人數不足現在10天要27000左右, 看完你們所講好似又不太貴, 我們跟學校去有處好, 老師學生一定就是用番英語溝通, 因本身學校是英小, 所以平常都是英語, 衡量過都係給他去走走.

請問有冇人問過YMCA此國際營有資料沒有?  Thanks.

我仔學校都有英國遊學，但一班同學去，仲有老師照顧，去玩多過學。
但就咁放响陌生人屋企，我十萬個不放心。

我仔學校都有攪英國遊學16日$35000，好似貴咗D.請問其他學校是否也要這個價錢嗎？謝謝！

最好就係當地有親人，再以個人身份報讀當地學校，最經濟又唔會接觸到大量廣東話！ ...

同意! 最經濟又唔覺, 費用會平d但唔會相差太遠, 不過就唔會接觸到大量廣東話就係重點！有朋友住在加拿大, 佢d阿妹每年都送d小朋友過去'玩'! 效果好好. 但又要夾在當地有親人至得.

Whether study tours are worth the money and time really depends on the organising body and your own priority. The argument I want to stress is that a study trip is not just a day language class and a sightseeing trip put together in one; it is a different learning experience as a whole.

For study trips organised by your child's own school, the quality is usually better, and features a more substantial part of learning. For example, in the one organised by my school, the students (in pairs) have to travel from home-stay to the summer school using public transport by themselves every day, while weekends are sightseeing tours with their HK schoolmates. In a tour like this, it is guaranteed that at least during weekdays, the children will use and practice English.

For tours organised by external companies/institutions, you should pay more attention to the exact details of the tour - its composition, learning hours, accommodation arrangements, etc. Every single bit can make a difference. Parents should make serious comparisons and choose one that can benefit your child most.

Talking about objectives and priorities of joining a study tour, of course language learning, sightseeing and learning independence are all important elements. But it should also be remembered that, especially for school-organised tours, it also serves as a good way for your child to strengthen their friendships with their fellow schoolmates, which is also a very treasured part of their childhood memories. There is no better way to know your friends better than living together for some time.

I understand that a study trip is not cheap by any means, and all parents would like their children to get the most out of it. However, in joining a study tour, you are not just buying a flight ticket, summer school tutition, food and accommodation for your child, but also a happy and memorable experience that your child will talk about in the years to come.

I will not join study tour definitely.  What's the point of sending a bunch of Cantonese speaking kids together?  Do you think that they will chat in English if their everyday medium is Cantonese?  

This is a useful link to find summer schools:

Or else ask around or find a UK chatroom for opinion.

我係澳洲住過頗長時間, 個人來說我覺得
2萬4, 16日, 價錢合理, 我仲覺得抵TIM,而家澳紙對8 或8點幾, 當地消費指數都好高.
去澳洲邊度?
