Free Educational Resources

By choosing NST, you’ll receive some free educational resources to help your group get the most out of their time away.

The Go Explore Journal

When you book your language tour with NST, you'll receive a FREE Go Explore journal for every student. By keeping a daily record of their experiences on the tour using NST's journals, your students will be better able to learn and recall key language phrases.

Teachers often tell us that the journals become a treasured souvenir once their students have returned to the classroom. They can even be used to demonstrate to parents and school governors the impact of taking learning outside the classroom and used as examples of individual learning and development.
