Course overview
Emphasis is placed on encouraging your fluency and confidence in the language. Your teachers will employ the most efficient techniques to ensure you develop accurate grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.
You will be in a multi-national class, placed with other students of the same level with the same high motivation. The aim is to ensure you learn the maximum possible.
Teaching methodology and process
On the Intensive General English Course, you will follow the same programme as the Standard General English Course in the mornings, plus three afternoon classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, which gives you the opportunity to improve your communicative proficiency through discussions, topical debates, authentic materials and video.
The main objective of the Intensive General English course is to develop communication skills at an accelerated rate and to improve your competence in using English in everyday situations.
The school’s modern teaching methods and use of supplementary materials give you the best opportunity to build your language skills and maximise the benefits of the time you spend with us.
During the summer months (June - September) the school also runs special Conversation Classes that are aimed to improve students oral capabilities. This course runs on the same timetable and price as the Intensive Course but the afternoon classes are dedicated to Conversation!
Social programme
The Adult Social and Cultural programme forms an important part of your stay in Dublin.
As well as being a great way to improve your English, the social programme includes visits and tours that enable you to see your new city through the eyes of local people.
Each school has a dedicated team of ‘Yellow Shirts’ responsible for coming up with new and exciting things for you to see and do.
The school is very proud of their vibrant social and cultural programme. During your stay the school will arrange:
- An orientation tour on your first day
- Visits to the museums and art galleries close to your learning centre
- Visits to areas of historic or natural scenic beauty
- Movie afternoons
- History and nature walks
