This course is designed to give participants the opportunity to develop core English language skills with intensive immersion in dynamic, international classes. The course covers the four basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing and is especially programmed to improve communication skills in spoken and written English. Course books and supplementary materials are stimulating and up to date to reflect current culture and issues. We place great importance on oral communication in the classroom, allowing students to share ideas, participate in intercultural exchange and learn from their classmates. Participants will have ample opportunity to learn about the cultural heritage of both Ireland and the local area.
The week-long programme includes a full-day cultural tour to a local area of scenic and heritage value, a guided immersion of Dublin city and optional afternoon social/cultural activities.
