Prime English language courses for older adults in Salisbury, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. A mix of English classes, social activities and excursions.

2. Prime English Courses
English for older Adults
These 2-week courses are designed for students over the age of 40 who prefer to study and
socialise with people of their own age. The historic city of Salisbury, with restaurants, bars, shops,
theatre and cinema in easy-walking distance, is a perfect study location for more mature students.
The courses consist of
 3 hours of General English classes per day
which take place from 0900 to 1230
Monday to Friday and
 the Social Programme
Classes are given in groups with an average of 6 students (maximum 15) and all levels are available,
including complete beginners.
Should the minimum number of students (4) not be attained for the course, Babylon School of English
reserves the right to include the participants in our general classes.
(Mature staff will always accompany the students on the activity programme).
The course also includes a varied programme of activities and excursions designed
specifically for this age group, featuring such activities as evening visits to a typical
restaurant, a trip to the opera, ballet or theatre, and a variety of excursions around
the area.
The June course takes place during Salisbury’s International Arts Festival.
The September course includes the Salisbury Food and Drink festival.
