This course follows a skills-based approach where speaking, listening, reading and writing are fully integrated with spoken production the main objective for most students. Classes are four days per week from 1-5 pm allowing for an extended weekend for students who want to work part-time or travel around Europe. Because our context is Ireland, students learn the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation of English while exploring the culture of contemporary Dublin. Students taking this course can join weekly social club activities on Friday and at the weekend.
