Speak a lot - Learn a lot.
For students to improve their English ability, we believe that it is important to have a good knowledge of grammar. Once they understand the rules, the focus switches to putting them into practice, so we use a lot of speaking practice activities. It is also important for each class to have an objective. We find that at the end of class when this objective has been reached, students feel a sense of accomplishment. Whether the objective is getting to grips with the third conditional or being able to use phrasal verbs correctly, they know that they have gained another communicative tool.
We do not generally use books so students do not have an extra fee for materials. We have a basic course skeleton that we use adapt accordingly for each level. It includes all aspects of English language acquisition. It also involves regular review tests and feedback reports. We tailor courses to suit each class and student so feedback reports are especially useful for us.
GE 15 + 5 private Students have all the benefits of the General English course but then have 5 hours of one to one tuition where they can focus on their own specific needs. Students consult with the teacher to decide the private class content.
GE 15 + Culture Students study General English in the morning and in the afternoon they study Irish Culture including history, dance, language and life.
GE 15 + exam As well as a General English course in the morning, students prepare for their chosen exam for 2 hours each afternoon.
Part-time course These classes are especially for students who do not have the time to come to school everyday but would like to improve their English. These classes are held at different times and depend on students level and time availability.
