This week we have had the pleasure of working with British Council Thailand and hosting a group of agents as part of their FAM tour in the UK. Our visitors had the opportunity to meet members of Chaucer College staff and students and take a tour of our campus in Canterbury and its facilities. We also provided time for lesson observations, whilst rounding up with a satisfying lunch. One of the major concerns highlighted by agents regarding sending young students to England, was around safety. One guest commented that “the College has the best security measures they had seen anywhere”. Thank you to everyone involved and making the event a great success! We really enjoyed meeting you all and hope to see you again soon!

We were very sad to see our Teacher Education students return home after an excellent five week course. Everyone here got to know them really well throughout their stay and they will be missed. Course coordinator Richard Venner had this to say: “We would like to wish you lots of luck with your studies when you return to Japan. You will all be excellent teachers one day.”

We welcomed our new students to the college last night, the first of three groups to be visiting from Sardinia in the coming weeks. They will be staying on campus with us and have an exciting schedule ahead of them full of lessons, trips and activities to keep them entertained throughout their stay. Benvenuto!

Watch the video from British Summer of a class that visited Chaucer College last year. This dramatic trailer filmed by the students gives a glimpse of Chaucer life.

We are very pleased to have students back on campus at Chaucer College. After the Christmas vacation period it’s wonderful to have students and teachers bringing life back to the college.
