Did you know that there are many studies that provide evidence that learning a second language has significant cognitive benefits? Therese Sullivan Caccavale, president of the National Network for Early Language Learning states that a study in 2007 in Harwich Massachusetts, proved students of a foreign language did better at comprehensive assessment system tests. After 2-3 years the foreign language learners did better than their non-foreign language learning peers.
Did you know that inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global morality? According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) 6 percent of deaths are attributed to inactivity. That is half of high blood pressure and 2/3rds of tobacco use, but equal to high blood glucose. The same article goes on to say that adults should do at least 150 minutes of physical activity throughout the week or 75 minutes of vigorous activity.
That’s why EC English, who have a language school in Brighton, have a keep fit program for both students who attend the school and for the teachers. Every week there is the popular football session on Astroturf. Every fortnight there are three activities; Yoga, which is held in the school, the Under Cliff Jogging which carried out along Brighton seafront, and beach Volleyball which is held on special courts made of sand during summer.
