WINTER PROGRAMMES

Project-based Mini-Stay courses are aimed at secondary school students who are studying English in their home country and who wish to further improve their English, specifically their speaking skills, while also gaining an understanding of the culture of an English speaking country.

Throughout the stay, students are encouraged to explore and consider the differences between life in their own country and life in Ireland by researching their topic area and preparing a minipresentation for the end of the course, in which they compare aspects of Irish life and culture with life in their home country. Throughout the course, the lessons are topic -based, allowing the teacher to review major areas of vocabulary while also reviewing basic language points. The focus is on providing as much communication practice as possible, therefore listening and speaking are heavily emphasised. The Ministay programme uses task-based learning as the basis of lessons. Class content can be tailored to include topics and language areas of specific interest to the students in the group.
