Descrição do curso

Structure

Mornings: General English 20 lessons per week

Afternoons: One-to-One 4 hours per week over 2 afternoons which would include task based learning.

At Alpha our research indicates that as well as needing to learn English for educational and professional or career advancement many of our students would also like to develop their leisure-time skills at the same time as they are taking an English language course.

Some of the most popular Special Interest supplements include:

English and Photography
English and Movie Making
English and Coding
English and Art

Medical English
Legal English

If you have a special interest that you would like to explore, please let us know and we can look into it for you.

Here is an example for English and Photography
This module is delivered by University graduates of Film and Broadcasting who have experience in Print Photography, TV and Radio. They are also qualified teachers of English so their unique skillsets, up-to-date knowledge and enthusiasm ensure that students taking this module will benefit enormously from the programme.

"It was very good experience to learn english"

Louis Gaultier, estudante de França

I really liked to classes and the teachers, they were here to teach and make the activity fun to make you feel it's more a game than a boring classes it was a good one. It was very easy to come with the bus and to find the school, and it's the city center so really simple. But I do think it's better to rent an apartment or an house during the trip and work in the city than going into a family house.

"Interesting topics, explained by good teachers with lack of organisation"

Eva Hofmann, estudante de Áustria

I really liked the classes, because they challenged me and the teachers were very friendly. It was very practical that the school is located just a few minutes from the center.

The Orientation Tour and the Howth trip were pleasant and enjoyable.
My host family surpassed all my expectations. They cooked vegetarian for me and were always friendly.

The school just did not seem to have their ELearning Platform all under control, because many students did not receive the link to sign up.
