The Professional Development Course for Teachers of English aims to meet your professional needs in all aspects of English language teaching. You complete a needs analysis questionnaire which helps our highly qualified team of teacher trainers to design the programme to suit your objectives and interests. The course provides a balanced programme of methodology, classroom resourcing, current theory, cultural exposure and language enrichment. As a teacher of English, you can expect a challenging learning experience which updates and refreshes your teaching. The course is practical and provides you with new activities, new skills and new techniques.

Seminars and workshops
Based on your needs, the stimulating course content may include: language awareness and analysis, classroom management and lesson planning, teaching the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, testing and evaluation, error correction, materials development and current issues in methodology.

Irish life and culture
The afternoon sessions complement the academic component of the programme. Through a series of visits to places of historical interest as well as lectures and workshops, you gain an overview of the culture, the history and the education system of Ireland.
