The LCLC’s year ends with a three-day residential Summer School held at Pembroke College in Oxford, a more intensive experience for a smaller number of participants, giving sixth formers the chance to experience what it is like to study languages at university. Students are set essays by postgraduate students in their chosen language, which they complete with access to Pembroke College’s extensive resources, and with the assistance of undergraduate mentors. The Summer School culminates in a traditional Oxford tutorial, in which the students are expected to discuss and defend their essay with their postgraduate tutor. This challenging but highly rewarding experience gives students an unrivalled opportunity to speak directly with an expert on their work, and gives them a taste of a unique element of the Oxford academic experience. The Summer School also gives the sixth formers the chance to meet and converse with current language students at Oxford, giving them an invaluable insight into life as an undergraduate.
