LETTER BY RICHARD VAUGHAN

Dear friends:

It is with particular pleasure that I hereby present Vaughan Systems’ immersion programs. They represent the only option I would choose if I really needed, personally, to master French, German, or any language that was very important for my career. Except for beginners, who need a teacher to lay down the first foundations of the language, the immersion option is the only way for those who really do not want to waste any time in their search for a definitive solution.

Conventional English classes, even with the best teacher in the world, often yield an uncertain return on the student’s investment. Travel is a problematic part of the equation, daily responsibilities distract the student, difficulties attending class and poor punctuality take their toll, and the time between classes dilutes the overall effect of each session. At best, these classes will be 85% effective.

The effectiveness of an immersion program, in contrast, approaches 100%.The students are completely removed from their everyday lives and worries. They are isolated from everything except English. Every hour of class is taken full advantage of and the student is 100% focused on the language from the moment they sit down for breakfast until they finish their last beers at night. For many the change is so positive that a single immersion weekend can surpass what is achieved in two years of conventional classes.

This is why I can say that it is a real pleasure to present these immersion programs.

One-Week Residential: The student spends every waking minute of the five-day program with a teacher. As well as demanding one-to-one classes, the student and teacher spend all their downtime together, including all the meals of the day and breaks during which they can engage in more relaxed conversation. The 72 hours of classes and social time equates to 300 hours of conventional group classes. This program has been specifically designed for students who need to consolidate their mastery of the most essential aspects of the English language.

Weekend Residential: The course design is the same, but the weekend schedule is intended for those who, due to scheduling conflicts, cannot attend during the work week. Many executives attend a weekend program every two months and, in a year and a half or less, observe a radical improvement in their English.

VaughanTown: Teachers are banned at this program. This is because VaughanTown is different. In only six days, patricipants drastically improve their comprehension of English, as well as gaining real confidence when speaking the language. To this end, each year we recruit over 1,000 English-speaking volunteers who, in groups of 15 each week, lend us their voices and their energy, 13 hours a day, so that our participants can make leaps and bounds in their listening skills and overcome their fear of speaking English. This is the only educational approach that I personally recommend for 98% of Spanish adults at the intermediate level or higher. Despite having personally created and designed VaughanTown 17 years ago, I am still amazed at the results it produces. Every week I see miracles; inspirational improvements in people’s communicative abilities, transformations that are more the result of a psychological shift than a technical improvement in terms of

grammatical mastery or vocabulary. In the end, it’s actually very simple: Vaughan Town improves your comprehension of English while making you an overall more confident person. For both the patricipants and volunteers, VaughanTown can be a truly life-changing experience.

Over the years, we have got to know our students very well. They have conveyed to us the need to offer shorter immersion programmes, so that those who don’t have much time can still experience the best of the Residential and VaughanTown programs. This is why we have created new programs meeting these requirements: FiftyFifty, a hybrid of a Residential and VaughanTown. And DayTown; a one-day VaughanTown format, to accommodate those who do not have time for more extensive programs.

Most of our students, curiously, ask us for conventional classes, and shy away from immersion options. This is a big mistake. The approach taken in residential programs is, by far, the most effective and beneficial, and, in terms of providing a definitive solution, the most economical of all.

Best regards,

Richard Vaughan

VAUGHANTOWNIS VAUGHANTOWN FOR YOU?

Our participants ...

• want to make a substantial leap forward in the language

• want to improve their listening comprehension skills

• have been studying English all their lives, but need practice in real situations

• have little time and want substantial and immediate results

• are willing to make a big effort

Why volunteers and not teachers? Three reasons:

• Because volunteers speak in a much more authentic way than teachers, who

have spent years polishing their English

• Because the volunteers will speak English (and only English!) during the program

• Because volunteers come to VaughanTown just because they want to. They are

eager to help you improve your English and to experience Spain in a different way

Our volunteers come from all over the world and have a broad range of professional backgrounds

FIFTYFIFTYWHAT IS IT THAT WE DO?

Group ActivitiesEvery day there are activities to promote group conversations and teamwork.

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Vocabulary ClassWe will look at specific vocabulary, depending on the student’s profile and needs. Phrasal verbs and expressions are reviewed.

One to Ones Presentations Individual Study Time

English is spoken at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Groups of four or more people, made up of participants, teachers and volunteers, sit together to eat and chat.

Grammar ClassWe will work on verbal agility, practicing the verb tenses and key language points of the English language through a dynamic variety of exercises.

Period of time reserved for study and homework.

Participants prepare a presentation to be given in front of the rest of the group at the end of the program.

Individual conversation sessions with native English speakers.

* This schedule may undergo slight modifications, which will never affect the quality of the program.

3. THE CLIENT accepts and agrees to comply with the behavior and academic discipline rules provided him, and declares that he does recognize and accept the consequences set forth in this document with regards to cases of non-compliance, which can even entail cancellation of the right to attend the program, without any consequent right to financial compensation.

4. In the event that, following his registration, the CLIENT wishes to change program dates, he must so request, in writing, at least 15 working days prior to the start of the program.

5. If a CLIENT decides to cancel his participation in the program contracted, he is to so notify VAUGHAN by return-receipt letter. For all purposes, the date on which this letter is received shall be used to calculate the cancellation periods and refunds appearing below:

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS

For VaughanTown, Residentials and FiftyFifty:

• Cancellations 30 days or more prior to the start date: VAUGHAN will refund 100% of the amount paid prior to cancellation

• Cancellations from 29 to 20 days before the course start date: VAUGHAN will refund 50% of the amount paid prior to cancellation
