Quality Tuition

The Irish College of English is Recognised by ACELS, a Service of Quality and Qualification Ireland, for English Language Teaching (ELT). Progression is our focus and we aim to develop a natural interest and love of the language in all learners. As part of our academic policy, students are evaluated on registration and placed at the correct level. On completion of their course, students receive a progress report from their teacher and a certificate of attainment.

At the Irish College of English, we offer Adult and Junior English Courses year round in our Malahide Centre and Junior Residential Summer Camps at Glenstal Abbey, Limerick & Clongowes Wood College, Kildare.

Syllabus & Levels We tailor our classes and academic programmes for juniors and adults, ensuring that courses are age specific. Lessons are planned to ensure students practice all elements of the language - Speaking, Reading, Writing, Grammar, and Listening with a focus on real life resources to encourage fluency in communication. Modules include General English, Irish Culture, Real Materials and Project work. Students complete a weekly project and tests which are graded by their teacher.

We offer a wide range of levels from elementary to advanced, challenging all levels of learner. Students complete a level test on their first day and are assigned to a class appropriate to their level of English. Class groups are limited to 15 students so each student receives individual attention from their teacher. Our teachers’ approach is communicative and focuses on progression through natural immersion in the language.

Progression We are dedicated to our students’ advancement in English while at ICE and our syllabus and reports are focused on progression. On completion of the course, teachers will prepare a progression report for each student detailing general progress, test and project results and areas for future attention. In addition all students are awarded a Certificate of Attainment.

Intercultural Irish Teenage Programme We are continuously improving our Junior Summer Camps and in order to enhance our student's intercultural experience, we have weekly lessons called the Intercultural Teenage Programme. Irish, teenage students will join lessons to lead an exercise alongside teacher which allows our students the opportunity to connect with Irish teenagers, their peers and we have had an incredibly positive response to this programme.
