Cape Town
Cape Town is waiting for you . . .
A perfect day in Cape Town starts with a
great breakfast and clear blue skies. Its
Saturday and you probably signed up
for a day-trip with the Good Hope Stud-
ies Social Club and need to head for the
school soon.
A small bus takes you and your school
mates along the Atlantic seaboard
through Camps Bay and along a wind-
ing road, following the coast line to
Hout Bay. The bus stops for a break and
you can choose to go on a short boat
trip to seal island.
After the break the drive continues
along one of the most scenic routes in
the world on Chapmans Peak Drive, with
its deep blue sea on the right hand side
and red rocks and green vegetation on
the left hand side.
The bus stops a couple of times for you
to enjoy the magnifcent views, then
it heads for the Cape of Good Hope
Nature Reserve. Here, at the southern-
most tip of the peninsula, you can take a
short hike to the Cape of Good Hope or
to spectacular Cape Point.
On the way back the bus stops in
Simons Town to visit the penguins at
Boulders Beach. The penguins are pro-
tected here on the shores of False Bay
and tourists enjoy being close to these
animals in the largest breeding colony
in the world.
After a full day, the bus drops you back
at your accommodation. Its late after-
noon and a short rest is just what you
need to take it all in and recharge.
It wouldnt be a perfect day if you
werent invited to a braai for the
evening, the South African version of a
barbecue. South Africans love to braai
and it is common to bring your own
meat and drinks.
This is a great opportunity to meet new
people, make new friends and practise
your English.
A perfect day probably ends with a clear
view of the night sky. Look out for the
Southern Cross, the most famous con-
stellation in the southern hemisphere.
What would your perfect day be like?
Perhaps you are more into sports, such
as surfng, kiting, climbing or cycling; or
maybe youd like a horse ride along the
beaches of Nordhoek; or would enjoy
going to a festival or to the theatre.
Cape Town has so much to ofer. Come
and experience it.

The school was the best language
school Ive ever been to. The staf
is friendly and help you if you have
any problems but the best thing is
that I enjoyed every single lesson.
The teachers fnd a perfect mix
between hard work and fun. As a
result of this my English improved
a lot.
Christoph from Austria
The atmosphere here is gorgeous
and the teachers and staf are just
perfect, always friendly, helpful,
and aware and concerned about
our problems, actually they have
become my family here, and I will
always be grateful for that. Ill never
forget the exciting classes and con-
versations with my teacher, the sup-
port that Ive always received from
staf, and of course the everyday
smile of Ches. Romina from Chile
Nationality mix (May 2013)
Johanna from Switzerland:
In my opinion the courses at Good Hope
Studies are on the one hand perfect to learn
English an on the other hand to learn some-
thing about the country and its inhabitants.
Todays class is a good example of that.
In the morning we did phrasal verbs and
prepositions because we students think
that we still need some practise with these
subjects. So at Good Hope Studies, the stu-
dents and the teacher decide together what
to do in the lessons. After the tea break, we
spoke about South Africa and watched a
documentary about the country. Then we
discussed what weve seen. Its very interest-
ing to learn English by learning something
about the country. Id like to go home in a
few months and be able to tell my family
a lot of things about the country and its
history, and Im sure that I will learn enough
to do so when Im back home. Not only is
the course great, but also the teachers are
very kind. In my second week here I was very
homesick. My teacher noticed that and went
to Rhodes Memorial with me for a little walk
in this Nature Park. That was nice of her
and Im really grateful to the school that the
teachers are so sympathetic and very loving
people.
Besides the course you can meet new people
nearly every week and the school excursions
are great! Next weekend Ill go on safari
which Im looking forward to. Its great that I
can do such experiences of life here in South
Africa.
Our social coordinator organises three to
four activities per week. Some activities are
free of charge, some will be charged at cost.
Taking part in the activities is a great way to
get to know other students from the school
and to learn more about Cape Town and the
surrounding areas.
Examples of activities:
Dinner with a teacher
Transfers to popular night spots
Tour up Table Mountain
City Tour
Beach Volleyball
Safari and Bungee jumping weekend
Township tours
Good Hope Studies Social Club
Soup Kitchen (assisting a volunteer
organisation in bringing food to poor
communities)
Full-day tours to the Cape of Good Hope,
the Winelands, whale watching at Her-
manus and exploring the West Coast.
Learning in a relaxed yet challenging
Our classrooms are spacious, friendly and
quiet with lots of natural light. You wont
fnd language labs or computer programs
at Good Hope Studies. This is because we
believe that the best way to learn a language
is with real teachers and real students talking
about real issues. We suggest that computer
programs are rather used before or after
your trip.
Our approach
At Good Hope Studies our priority is to
provide lessons of a high standard and our
aim is for you to leave Cape Town feeling
more confdent communicating in English.
To support these lessons, we provide ac-
commodation and a social programme, and
many students use these services to practise
their English.
Four-week cycles
Our teaching programme is based on a four-
week cycle and most changes take place
only every four weeks. For your convenience
you can start every Monday, but we strongly
recommend starting at the beginning of a
cycle, on the of cial starting dates. Students
who start on an of cial date will beneft the
most from their classes, and will enjoy the
most interesting sightseeing tours.
In the last week of each cycle you will write a
test to help you and your teachers to moni-
tor your progress.
Lesson content
The lessons are geared towards the needs
and interests of the students in each class.
The lessons focus on the four skills (reading,
writing, listening and speaking) and on lan-
guage systems (grammar and vocabulary),
with a strong focus on communication and
real-life tasks.
Coursebook
The lessons are based around a coursebook,
which provides a basic structure for the
lessons. We use a range of diferent books,
and have at least two diferent books at each
level so that students who stay for longer
than one cycle in a level do not repeat mate-
rial. The material in the coursebooks includes
both skills and language work. We constantly
review our choices to ensure that the books
we use are up-to-date and in line with cur-
rent theories on language learning.
At Good Hope Studies we are serious about your learning progress. We use the latest teaching meth-
ods, only employ teachers with the best possible qualifcations and use the most up-to-date books
available.

Now Im able to focus on
improving my English, as well as
enjoy the friendship made with
the students. I was also able to
learn about South Africa and
its neighbouring countries and
each time gaining more knowl-
edge. Manoela from Brazil
I loved coming to school. We
had a brilliant atmosphere and
our teacher connected hard
working and fun perfectly! I
felt the passion of teaching. I
feel well prepared for the frst
exam. Our teacher taught us
a lot about life and history in
Cape Town. She gave me a lot
of inspiration for my work as a
teacher in Switzerland. Thank
you very much! Lukas from
Switzerland
Additional material
The coursebook is supplemented with ad-
ditional material, either adapted from pub-
lished material, developed by the school,
or designed by the teacher for a particular
lesson. This allows teachers to cater more
specifcally to the needs and interests of
their students. It also allows teachers to
draw on the South African context, often
bringing South African culture and history
into the classroom.
Teacher qualifcations
Good Hope Studies is also a teacher training
centre for local and international teach-
ers. This ensures access to highly qualifed
teachers.
A Cambridge CELTA qualifcation as well as
extensive and varied experience teaching
English as a foreign language are the mini-
mum requirements. In addition, many of
our teachers have passed one or more Delta
modules and take part in regular workshops
and in-house-training sessions.
Our mission
We want you to leave Cape Town full of posi-
tive memories, with new friends, insight into
diferent cultures, and
knowing more
about South
Africa. First and
foremost, how-
ever, we want
you to leave the
school full of
self-confdence
communicating
in a language
that might even
have become your
second home-
language.

It has been my great joy and privilege to have lived in
Cape Town for my whole life. Since I have been with Good
Hope Studies, I have also had the honour of showing the
city and our schools to many students and visitors, and I
am always very proud to do so. I really enjoy interacting
with our students, whether its at the school, at a braai
(barbecue) or going out for a meal in the evenings. I look
forward to welcoming many more students to Cape Town
very soon!

Study Year Programme . . .
Who is it for?
The Study Year concept has been designed to cater for the specifc
needs of long-term students. It is ideal if you want to become prof-
cient in English and/or want to study or live in an English speaking
country.
Why choose Study Year?
For students who aim to study at a university or college in an Eng-
lish-speaking country, Study Year is designed to help them to reach
the right level of English. We also ofer related support: we assist stu-
dents with applications for further study, and help them to register
and prepare for the English qualifcations they need (e.g. IELTS).
Study Year (SY) students receive free additional support, which is not
ofered to short-term students. They are closely monitored through
regular meetings and tutorials with their SY advisor. Workshops and
remedial teaching are provided on a regular basis. A SY advisor is
available on each campus to ensure that SY students have easy ac-
cess to their services.
Study Year students also receive social support: They are encour-
aged to engage with the SY blog, and to participate in social activi-
ties, such as theatre trips, dinners, a cinema club, ten pin bowling,
and hiking.
Study Year Packages
The needs of study year students can best be met by booking a
study year package. Typically, this starts with General English (either
mornings or full day). Many Study Year students plan to study at an
English university, and for these students we would recommend an
English for Academic Purposes course, followed by an IELTS or TOEFL
course. We fnd that exam preparation courses help to keep Study
Year students motivated once their English is at a high enough level.
The most suitable study year package depends on your budget,
needs and length of stay. Our registrar can advise you on the best
possible study year package.
A possible study year package could be as follows:
Week 1 - 8: General English, 30 lessons per week (GE 30)
Week 9 - 20: General English, 20 lessons per week (GE 20) +
5 Private Lessons per week
Week 21 - 28: GE 20 + English for Academic Purposes
Week 29 - 32: GE 20 + IELTS or TOEFL
Changes can be made during your stay when the need arises, and
the Study Year Advisors will be happy to advise you.
Study Year Advisor
We have a Study Year advisor at each of our premises. These are
friendly, competent teachers who teach in the mornings and focus
exclusively on Study Year support in the afternoons.
You can meet with the Study-Year Advisor in the afternoon at no
extra charge for any of the following:
Progress meetings: discuss progress and keep motivated.
Remedial teaching: get extra help with grammar, language skills
or even handwriting.
Get assistance with writing letters or applications to universities or
other institutions.
SAQA (South African Qualifcations Authority) assistance: a
necessary requirement for any students studying further at South
African universities.
Study programme counselling for your time at Good Hope Stud-
ies, or for your university plans.

Your home away from home . . .
Travel distance to both schools is very short,
with only a few families living as far as 45
minutes from the school. In the southern
suburbs, all host-families stay in private
houses with gardens, while in the city centre
most stay in apartments.
In the southern suburbs, Good Hope Studies
is the only major English Language school. We
therefore have a large number of high quality
families available. In the city centre, the num-
ber of good quality families is limited.

It is a very inexpensive form of accommoda-

newly acquired knowledge of English while going out, rather than with a host-family, then this is for you.
There is a self-catering kitchen and a large

Other services we offer . . .
Volunteering in South Africa
There is a high number of NGOs working in South Africa. These
organisations depend on local and international volunteers. If
you are interested in social or environmental volunteering then
this programme is for you.
We ofer projects in and around Cape Town as well as in other
parts of South Africa.
Helping people in need or working in nature conservation can
be a hugely rewarding experience. At times volunteering can
be a real challenge but you can connect with people and gain
an insight into South Africa which would not be possible in any
other way.
Internships
Add a highlight to your curriculum vitae, and further your com-
mand of the English language in a professional environment.
Internship programmes are useful if you are looking to gain in-
ternational work experience. You will be placed with a company
in the feld of your choice, giving you insight into the working
practices of a company in an English speaking country.
Work South Africa
Work South Africa is a one year, working holiday programme,
available to full time tertiary students or recent graduates only.
The majority of Work SA applicants fnd work in the hospitality
industry, either working in one of the many vibrant bars, restau-
rants and nightclubs in Cape Town, or within the lively backpack-
ing industry.
