What is the English equivalent?
|
Dear colleagues,
I would like to ask you for help- especially the native speakers.
Namely, I need an English expression for the "classes" that don �t take place at school but out in nature or elsewhere. In Slovenia such activities take usually a week, students are taken to a place (town, village, somewhere in nature) and they stay in a hostel or some other accommodation together with some teachers and other educators. They have outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, exploring nature, etc. We call such classes "School in Nature" and I found the expression Outdoor Education on the Internet. Do you think this is the right expression for what I have in mind?
I would be really grateful for any suggestions or ideas.
Thank you in advance.

Field trip or school or class trip? Outdoor Education is probably considered more of a course in school.

Personally I would call it "English in Action" I do outings with my students all the time and have lessons just walking down the streets of Cairo, Egypt. I shout out "English in Action" and point out new words such as grafitti, vandalism, or even have the students teach others from their own specialties vocab. For example Engineers will point out the things they know, and tour guides will point out the things most Egyptians don �t think about because it is their normal. They think about the things in Arabic first, but on "English in Action" outings we share our own personality and specialties with what we see around us. Plus it gives the students the confidence to speak about what they know and express their opinions on new things (in English instead of Arabic).
