有關ymca暑假英文國際營, ,你可向尖沙咀ymca查詢.

上年暑假我小朋友有參加另一區的YMCA國際營(普通話,), 5d4n, 是同內地同台灣生交流, 亦是一個不錯的交流營.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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！

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。

請問有冇人問過YMCA此國際營有資料沒有?  Thanks.

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.

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.
