Big Demand for Conversational English Classes in Killarney A new conversational English language class – Failte Isteach - being run in Killarney through South Kerry Development Partnership Ltd. in conjunction with Third Age has attracted a large number of people from many countries. The class is aimed at migrants who do not have English as their main language. The Failte Isteach programme being run in Killarney was developed by the active retired group Third Age based in County Meath. They first began the initiative as a small project in the village of Summerhill in 2006 with the aim of helping those in the migrant communities in that area develop a confidence in speaking English as well as a means of helping encourage integration within the different communities. It has since spread around the country to other communities and is being implemented in the greater Killarney area by SKDP. Community Development Manager Paul O’Raw described how the basis of the programme is the group of trained volunteer tutors who come in to work with the students attending. “We are lucky to have 7 trained tutors on the programme in Killarney at present and they are working with some 25 students who are attending the course” Paul said. He added that the course runs for circa 10 weeks and is for around 2 hours a week with the students having a book that will assist them developing their skills further during the course of the week. The current course is full but it is planned to start a new course in September which will be well advertised in advance to make sure we get as many as possible to participate Paul concluded
