Dear Sir.,

How are you? We hope this email finds you well. This month, we said goodbye to Susannah, our social organiser. She has moved to London where she hopes to have more opportunity to follow her passion for the cello. Many thanks for your great work. We really enjoyed your social activities!

FamTrip

 

Oxford English Centre recently welcomed language travel agents from around the world as part of the Study World Oxford Fam Trip 2008.  The agents visited 5 schools including Oxford English Centre where they enjoyed a fantastic barbecue, bingo and karaoke party.  As well as school visits, they participated in Alex's famous Oxford Ghost Tour and learnt all about King Henry VIII and Charles I.  A trip to Oxford University Christ Church College also featured a Harry Potter Tour!  Join us in 2009 for the social and cultural event of the year!

OEC filming part II or No one in the Scullery can hear you scream!! 
This month saw all the excitement of Hollywood arrive at OEC as Oxford University Press (OUP) came to shoot a DVD for the forthcoming publication of the Intermediate course book "Result". 
As you can imagine all of the teachers were rushing forward to be filmed while teaching an Intermediate class. Unfortunately, there were many long faces as long-time favourite and star actor Will, along with the up and coming starlet Sophie, breezed through the auditions and got the parts- better luck next time you lot!
Needless to say, the real stars of the show were the students who took part and the director was really impressed with their knowledge of English and their patience (there is only so many times you can repeat the word "accessories"). Everyone who took part was rewarded with gift vouchers and the knowledge that their contribution will help students (and teachers) around the world with their studies! Well done!!!!
