Language Conquests-EFL - One of the First Schools to Make Cyprus a New Language Tourism Destination
Cyprus boasts an annual average of 340 days of sunshine and is a popular destination for beach holidays, especially among British and Russian citizens. While the island's tourism industry is starting to embrace package deals, there are also markets that are looking into offering niche products - the language learning sector is one of them. Language Conquests - EFL at the English Study Centre offers specialized English courses for professional needs combined with adventure and relaxation.
Limassol, Cyprus, January 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Mediterranean island of Cyprus is currently still one of the lesser known destinations for language tourism. Also known for being the birthplace of Aphrodite, Cyprus has only recently started to attract tourists who come and improve their English during a 'language learning holiday'.
Besides the big, more obvious pluses of mild climate and uncountable picturesque beaches, the island has a rich culture and fascinating history, going far beyond the continuing quarrel between the Turkish and Greek side. A wide variety of excursions to traditional villages, archeological sites, mountain resorts, museums is available.
At the reputable, private language institute English Study Centre, mornings are dedicated to learning English. A program called 'Language Conquests - EFL' www.languageconquest.com caters to the adult learner who wants to improve his/her English for professional purposes. Especially the middle-aged whose school English has gotten 'rusty' have shown great interest in these tailor-made courses which are held in small groups of 3 - 12 students and include topic-related afternoon activities.
Courses offered include General English, Business English, English for the sports and fitness industry, for the hospitality and tourism industry, English for agro tourists, English for caregivers (doctors, nurses/carers, social workers, counselors, psychologists, therapists, conservationists), English for the creators (photographers, actors, journalists, artists).
The English Study Centre was founded in 1983 by Krini Askanis, originally from Britain, and is a well-established English language learning institute in a quiet residential neighborhood just outside Limassol in the south of the island.
Their new kind of program includes the daily hotel-school transfer, allowing students to sunbathe or explore to their heart's content after a productive morning 'at school'. Cyprus is Greek, English and Turkish speaking but having been under British rule for roughly 100 years, this influence is still evident with the majority of inhabitants speaking perfect English, allowing for ample practice outside the classroom.
"It only makes sense for this practical combination of play and work in a lovely setting to catch on and provide a fresh breath of air to the Cyprus tourism industry," says director Mrs. Askanis.
