The staff and students at IH Aberdeen are delighted to be the first of IHWO’s affiliated schools in Scotland. Located in the very centre of a city known as the ‘oil capital of Europe’ and for its two outstanding universities, IH Aberdeen (formerly English for Everyone) has moved from strength to strength since it was founded in 2006.
The emphasis from the beginning has been on quality teaching by cheerful and attentive staff and on acclimatising students to the local language, the city and the spectacular country. From visits to castles and distilleries, mountain hikes, spotting seals on local beaches to museums and concert visits, the school’s very satisfied students are spoiled for choice.
Within the school itself, they can enjoy comfortably-sized classes (or one-to-one instruction), computer rooms and a spacious social area which is the meeting-place at break-time, an agreeable location for visiting speakers and the popular location for the monthly ‘international lunch’ and parties (any excuse for a party!).
IH Aberdeen offers a wide range of courses and is particularly proud of the achievements of its students: many have found employment, while others have been accepted at university or gone on to post-graduate study.
Congratulations to Yue Xu from IH Xi’an who came 5th in China's CCTV English Speaking Talent Competition! The CCTV English Speaking Talent Competition is a unique English competition held at a national level. 130 competitors took part in the final which was held in Beijing in front of an audience of 1.6 million – and watched on television by a further 20 million!
This year was the first year that IH Xi’an took part in the competition so they were delighted that Yue Xu came 5th! Two more students also made in into the top ten which was a truly great result for IH Xi’an and they are already looking forward to taking part in the competition next year!
The competition was truly IH as the following schools were involved in sponsoring the event: IH Belfast, IH Bristol, IH New York, IH Cape Town, IH Barcelona, IH Freiburg, IH Vancouver, IH Toronto, IH Newcastle, IH Malta and IH Dublin.
