The Study Plan
Before the group arrives in Hua Hin, Dragon Study Tours sends the tour organiser a complete Secondary Plus study plan — every lesson of Secondary Plus English for teens at Dragon Study Tours Hua Hin planned with a clear objective, the British Council-aligned materials identified, and the language development targets specified for the group’s level. Tour organisers and school leaders have full visibility before departure.
Block One — Authentic Materials at the Right Level of Challenge
Block One of Secondary Plus English for teens at Dragon Study Tours Hua Hin uses British Council-aligned secondary English materials — authentic texts, journalism, academic articles, and spoken English in formal and informal registers. Teenagers engage with real English at an appropriate level of challenge. The writing task in the second half of Block One develops the formal, analytical writing register that secondary-age learners need for academic work — essays, structured arguments, and analytical responses rather than the narrative writing that dominates primary English programmes.
Block Two — Debate, Discussion and Formal Presentation
Block Two of Secondary Plus English for teens at Dragon Study Tours Hua Hin places spoken English at the centre: structured debate, formal presentation practice, paired analytical conversation, and grammar and pronunciation embedded in communicative tasks that reflect the academic and professional contexts teenagers are preparing for. Native English teachers model accurate, natural spoken English throughout. Every student speaks in every session, because the maximum twelve class size makes silence structurally difficult to maintain.
Fruit Break — 10:50 to 11:10
Twenty minutes of fresh seasonal fruit, light snacks, and social time. Block Three makes the most intellectually demanding requirements of the morning.
Block Three — Collaborative Outputs
Block Three of Secondary Plus English for teens at Dragon Study Tours Hua Hin produces research tasks, analytical presentations, structured debates, and group reports — intellectual outputs that match the ability and ambition of the age group. Every teenager has a genuine, non-negotiable role in every Block Three session. The work that comes out of Block Three is not a simplified exercise. It is real English production at the level the group is working towards.
