Joyful English, as it is called in the same title, aims to be a pleasant moment to learn English and enjoy learning, even though learning a language can be like climbing a mountain for many people. Especially for those who feel that it is an obligation and who do not understand so much the need to be able to speak English as a second language.
Another important aspect is the “communication skills” that can be developed through learning a language, broadening one’s perspective on a larger and more complex world, now characterised by multiculturalism and the constant exchange and influence of other cultures.
Joyful English expresses the spirit of the proposed program, structured in short sessions and enriched with non-formal educational and outdoor activities.
Depending on the level of the participants, the course is aimed at teachers, students, school leaders or adults in general, with short intensive sessions in different contexts, indoors and outdoors, in formal learning spaces and in a completely informal environment.
The core content remains language, divided into:
– grammar (lexicon, phonetics and phonology, syntax and context)
– reading
– writing
– listening
– speaking
– communicating
Learning must be a joyful experience. That’s why JUMP takes advantage of Soverato’s beautiful landscape to offer indoor and outdoor activities, including natural spaces, partnerships with public schools, and other working environments that promote “different” and more natural learning.
Participants are engaged in workshops and group activities (Project-Based Learning) led by trainers who are native or proficient English speakers with a captivating attitude and intelligent approach.
Through collaboration and the use of “special ” didactic tools (made of recycled materials such as paint, paper, etc.) and using new media and technologies, the class becomes an active player of the lesson, invited to take the lead and be creative. The pace of the course is fluent and pleasant, allowing all participants to express themselves and share learning and teaching experiences.
LEARNING GOALS
Participants are any teacher at any level of education working in a public or private school or educational institutions.
INTRO/METHOD
Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant.
Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, businesses and citizens of our territory. Each local context has its own economy so it’s always useful, in training programs, to get in contact with concrete examples (experiential learning and real based learning).
We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects. If possible, inside the program, a morning is spent inside a local school, visiting, observing, and cooperating in the realization of one or more lessons. The proposed program JUMP works, in European dimension and with an international spirit, at the local level and, according to the period of the training along the year and the weather, it is possible to change some sessions and add visits and meetings, in cooperation with our network of partners including schools involved in European projects).

JUMP is based in Soverato (Catanzaro province), on the Jonian coast but the association cooperates with local partners and institutions of the surroundings towns and cities. Calabria region represents the deep South of Italy, known for the tropical climate and sandy beaches but also famous tall and green mountains.
During our trainings we also aim to make participants discovering the region, especially those old towns rich of culture, traditions, castles, small churches, narrow streets, colourful balconies, tropical flowers and local farms.
The nearest airport to Soverato is Lamezia Terme (SUF), 30 minutes far away from Soverato.
Our pick up is organized ONLY from and to this airport which is the biggest and the most important, connected to all the other cities in Italy and in Europe.
Many people like to stop in Rome or in Naples and take a train which is also comfortable and the journey along the coast is also pleasant (you see all the South).
JUMP proposes to participants to be lodged by Villa Gabriella International B&B managed by our local partner C.T.E. CENTRO TERRITORIALE EUROPEO company (https://closertoeurope.com/). The Villa has 7 big and comfortable rooms continuously renovated but also preserving the typical “old times” atmosphere of a very local house of Southern beach place. The Villa has many spaces for activities, a training room, the breakfast room, the terrace and flowers all around. It’s located in a peaceful and safe district called “Cittadella” surrounded by hills of olive trees and other Villas. JUMP created a network of other similar b&b for when participants are more than 12, in order to assure the same quality with an amazing breakfast, all comforts and an international environment. Villa Gabriella is also the JUMP headquarters for the general management of our activity. The Villa is the meeting point for all guests during all trainings and it’s where we realize all project activities.
Thanks to the cooperation with the C.T.E. company Jump provides lodging in 2 villas and if the groups are big, we have cooperation with all the owners of b&b and bigger hotels.
