GENERAL ENGLISH
General English
Dublin and Cork
* To enroll in this course, a minimum age of 16 years is required.
We teach general English at every level – from Beginner (A1) to Advanced (C1). The course programmes for each level are 14 weeks long with built-in assessment designed to monitor your progress and indicate when you are ready to move to the next level. We carry out progress tests every 7 weeks where we check your level of English and your progress at that level. This ensures that you are always in the right class for your development.
We operate an integrated syllabus which balances work on the four key skills of speaking, reading, writing and listening with contextualised language input including grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. Our English language lessons develop skills in recognisable and useful communicative contexts. Our teacher training programme is designed to emphasise the importance of placing all language in the context in which it is used. Thus, helping teachers to continuously improve their skills at doing so.
Improve your English in every way -our full time English courses are designed to help you with your speaking, listening, reading, and writing. All of the grammar and vocabulary work is drawn from the Common European Framework. Furthermore, our syllabus is based on the European Framework ‘can do’ tasks accompanied by tasks to help you to be successful in the real world. You will continually receive feedback from your teacher to help you develop. You will also receive a certificate at the end of your course (all academic course students are required to sit an external exam at the end of their course e.g. TIE/Cambridge/IELTS in order to obtain the end-of-course certificate), and you will get a full report from your teacher.
