School Trips with Language Learning: When English Leaves the Classroom

School trips with language learning can be much more than a change of scenery. This presentation looks at how well-designed overseas school trips create authentic language immersion and strong student motivation. Drawing on real experience from educational travel, it explores what works, what doesn’t, and how schools can turn a short stay abroad into a meaningful learning impulse.
