I would like for thank my teachers in special (Sam ,Marie, Kathleen) and friends Lexis Schoool for my start in english. Today I’m very happy for undertand more english. Now I go back my country and I will back in August because can not stop. thank you very very very much

Leo studied at Lexis Byron Bay for 16 weeks, starting in October. When he arrived he could speak no English at all, although he understood a little. He joined our Elementary class and also had some private catch-up lessons to help him settle in.

Leo with his Elementary classmates and teacher Sam

Leo was a model student. Even though his attendance wasn’t perfect, he always tried to speak English with everyone in the school and it was this social attitude that enabled him to leave the school with a B pass in Pre-Intermediate.

Leo enjoying a free beer with other students at Student Night

Everyone at Lexis wishes you a fantastic time back in Brazil Leo and we look forward to your return.

With our normal teacher for salsa not able to make it this week we had one of our students run a salsa class for us.

Today’s activity was coffee club. Students gathered to talk in English and enjoy coffee and Tim Tams. Students talked about their home cultures and about their travelling experience and where they first began to learn English. It’s very interesting to learn and share about all of these cultures. Join us again in two weeks for the next coffee club!

Students all gathered at Aquarius Backpackers Bar for some drinks, live music, and BBQ! Everyone had a great time talking and learning about each other’s home countries and culture. Even some ping pong and billiards were played! It was a great night! See you all at the next one on the 24th!

Last Friday the activity was Volleyball! Many students joined us in the garden for some very competitive games. After a few challenges of getting the net up and lots of help from the students we were off and playing. It was a good time and we have a lot of talented students.

Today we welcome 4 new starters!

Iza comes to us from Spain and has been travelling and studying for a few months now. She wanted to spend her final week here in Byron Bay to visit our great little town! She graduated from University back home and worked for a bit before deciding she wanted to travel.

Olivier is from France and is a Chemistry student at university in Lyon. He just finished an internship in Melbourne and now wants to stay in Byron for a bit to improve his English before going home to finish his studies.

Fabian and Linard are from Switzerland and are both Professional Cross Country Skiers; training to be in the next Olympics! They won their trip to Australia to learn English through a radio competition back home and chose our school to study at!

Make sure to welcome all our new students this week!

Nina – Switzerland – 10 weeks – Upper Intermediate

Nina was a great student and is now going off travelling for a while. She said thanks to her teachers and friends!

Anna – Italy – 2 weeks – Upper Intermediate

Michael – Switzerland – 8 weeks – Upper Intermediate

Michael said thank you to all his teachers and friends and will be travelling Australia for a month before heading home. He also said he will miss it here in Byron Bay.

Shiho – Japan – 7 weeks – Pre Intermediate

Shiho’s teacher said she was fun to have in class because she always had stories about her adventures and was very competitive. Shiho said she really likes Byron Bay, Kathleen (her teacher), and chocolate. Thank you everyone and Enjoy!

Flavia – Switzerland – 4 weeks – Pre Intermediate

Flavia graduated today with very good marks and is now heading to Africa to do a Cambridge course over there. She said thank you to every one and that she had a lovely time.

Sarah – Switzerland – 2 weeks – Intermediate

Sarah said even though she was here such a short time she still had a lot of fun. She also said thank you to her teachers and her new friends!

At Lexis Byron Bay, our classes are always relevant to daily English-speaking life…even when our students occasionally don’t show up for class! In Elementary today, one student (not naming any names *cough*Rafael*cough*) told another student that he HAD to come to class today because class is very important… and then he himself didn’t come to class!

They were studying telephone conversations today and part of class was to practice daily-English language by doing a dialogue build. As a class we wrote an example dialogue together on the board, and then the rest of the class used it to model their own practice conversations on.

Below is a copy of our real-life-inspired dialogue build…enjoy =)

Marie in red is the Elementary teacher, and Raphael in blue was our inspiration for this piece of art

Looks like for this weekend we have the usual live music throughout the week and movies playing and we even have The French Film Festival coming to Byron!

Weather for the weekend! Looks like scattered showers throughout the weekend with it being 23 at the highs and 16 at the lows.

This group did exceptionally well on their placement tests and all speak English really well but are now ready to step up and get even better.

Joelle is from the German part of Switzerland and is hoping to improve her English to help her studies to become a nurse.

Jerome comes from the German part of Switzerland as well and, in a strange coincidence, is currently working as a nurse.

Marie has come to us from Germany where she is studying International Business and wants to improve her English to help pursue a career in that field.

Welcome to Lexis Byron Bay! We hope you all have an amazing time here.

Today’s activity was an Easter Egg hunt. Chocolate eggs were hidden around the school and, once their afternoon class was out, students went searching for them!

During yesterday’s Activity Students enjoyed Tim Tams, Coffee, and good conversations at Coffee Club. They spent the time getting to know each other and learning about each others’ countries, as well as spending some time on the map seeing where they have traveled and where they want to go.

Here at Lexis English Byron Bay we have a rule that students must speak English the whole time they are at school, not just in the classrooms. This policy is extremely popular with students, for three reasons:

1. They can make friends from other countries

If students are able to speak in their own language they automatically gather in same language groups for breaks and lunchtimes (so that they can relax and talk easily). However, with the English Only policy, students are forced to speak English so there is no reason to seek out students with the same mother tongue and, therefore, everyone makes more effort to get to know people from other countries. 

2. It’s polite in mixed company

It’s a horrible feeling when people nearby are talking in a  language that you don’t  understand, especially if it’s a big group and you are alone.

Here at Lexis Byron Bay we often have students who are are travelling alone from countries such as Taiwan, Czech Republic, Russia and Poland. They are totally reliant on English because nobody here speaks their language. At the same time there are big groups from countries like Switzerland and Brazil. If you are a German or Portuguese speaker, please try to imagine how you would feel if everyone was speaking Russian or another language around you. Wouldn’t it make you feel shy and uncomfortable and even worry that they were talking about you? We can avoid this with the English Only policy.

3. It’s the best way to improve your English. Fast!

English is a skill, like driving or learning to play a sport or an instrument. The only way to get better at a skill is to practise, practise, practise it.

In class you learn the theory and you practise what you learn with games, roleplays and other speaking activities that are designed to be as much like real life as possible. However, it’s when you actually have to use the theory in your everyday life that it becomes really real for you and, then, you remember it.

Imagine learning to drive in a classroom with a model car. It would be helpful, of course, but you cannot learn to drive properly until you practise in a real car on real street. English is the same. 

Or think about sports training. You need to warm up before you can really perform. Then if you stop and have a break you need to warm up all over again. English is the same. If you speak your own language during the break, then you have to warm up back into English when you return to class. It slows you down.

So, remember: To make more friends, be polite and improve your language skills…
