Learn English in Cork at our partner school, ACET (formerly known as The Cork Language Centre). The school is located in two adjacent Georgian buildings which have been renovated while keeping their elegant 18th century character. The school is centrally located, meaning everything you may want is located within walking distance of the school. Besides light and comfortable classrooms and other facilities to aid you in your studies, the school also has a pleasant garden where you can relax with other students between and after your classes.
The intensive course consists of 20 or 26 lessons per week (1 lesson = 55 min) in a group with a maximum of 14 participants. The small number of students per class ensures effective teaching with the flexibility to meet your individual needs, in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. You have a progress test and a personal tutorial with your principal teacher each week. The intensive courses have a cultural component, which helps you to learn about Irish culture and the Irish way of life.
The intensive course focuses on practical communication skills with the emphasis on speaking and listening. Reading and writing activities provide you with opportunities to interact with other students. Vocabulary, idioms and grammar are practised in interesting and stimulating ways to achieve fluency.
