23.01.2022 The English College of Adelaide is pleased to announce that this past weekend some of our students were lucky enough to be instructed in how to stay safe at the beach by Surf Lifesaving SA! Many of ECAs international students come from countries with no beaches nearby, and know nothing of the dangers of the ocean. The Surf Lifesavers SA program has opened their eyes, and given them the tools they need to survive in a tricky situation! Our students had a wonderful t...ime on the shores of Glenelg, and have given us wonderful feedback about the program and their experiences. "I have learnt many things from the presentation like safety rules and how to swim", Ashish Lama from Nepal said. Jumi Bae, from South Korea, said she was now more confident about swimming in the ocean"! ECA is thrilled to have been a part of this important learning experience, and hopes that more of our students can benefit from this fantastic program! Thank you Surf Lifesaving SA!

18.01.2022 Today we had the sad task of saying goodbye to the 15 year old Pierre, who came to study with us all the way from France! We had the pleasure of hosting Pierre in our General English class for 4 weeks, and we are all going to miss his wonderful smile and energy! Here is what Pierre had to say about his time here at ECA:... "My mum helped me choose to study at ECA. She says that the first time we went here the people were very sympathetic, and that its important to study in a good group with good vibes. In fact lessons are not too difficult, but very useful! Moreover, we studied all topics, and it is a very good for base vocabulary in daily life. The class and different teachers are really sympathetic and helpful. Moreover, teachers try to help everybody and its great! In my time at ECA I got to hold a koala at Gorge Wildlife Park. It was amazing! I met my friend Bob, and I am very happy to meet him. I will definitely contact him after I leave Australia!" Were so happy to hear that Pierre made friends and had a good time while studying with us at ECA! We wish you the best of luck with your studies, and all of your swimming competitions! Bye Pierre!

16.01.2022 Last week we said goodbye to Kyouka and Ayumi who both joined us in our General English class. Kyoukas positive feedback included comments about classes at ECA where she said: I am glad I could make friends with not only other students from Japan, but others from various countries...it was a wonderful experience getting to talk with people who have different first languages to mine. ... She also said of ECA: ...it had a real at home feel that aligned with my values . Ayumi echoed this commenting: at ECA there is so much opportunity to develop your speaking skills and conversation skills on more in depth topics than everyday English. and ..it was a small, inviting school so that made me feel safe. Both Kyouka and Ayumi were valued members of their class and will be missed - particularly on Fridays!

16.01.2022 Last week we said goodbye to Simone, who came to study with us all the way from Italy! Simone studied English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Direct Entry (EDE) with us at ECA for 6 months! Heres what he had to say about ECA: "... I chose ECA because of the familiar environment, which is daily transmitted by both the teachers and staff. The lessons at ECA are entertaining and playful. Teachers are helpful and motivating! I enjoyed the cosmopolitan environment at school, and the opportunity to learn new things, not only during class, but also in other situations, such as at lunch time. Furthermore, everyone in the school was always ready to help. My favourite memory at ECA was when we had lunch with the teachers at an Italian restaurant in the city, and many other moments I will never forget." From all of us at ECA we wish Simone all the best with his future studies, and hope that one day he will return to Adelaide to gift us with a visit

15.01.2022 On Monday, Goichi, one of our students, finished up after a year of studying with us at ECA! Goichi successfully finished four English courses and never missed a day! Here are some of the things he had to say about his experience in Adelaide: "I have studied English at ECA for 1 year and enjoyed all of my lessons. I sometimes went to the beach, factory, and other places to learn precious classes. These were enjoyable as well.... Before I came here, I had been very anxious because living in a country by oneself is too difficult, however I've enjoyed my life in South Australia." Good luck in Japan Goichi! We wish you all the best!
