21st Century Skills in English AM

コース内容

We believe that all learners choose to study English for a purpose and our courses are designed with a sense of that purpose; personal, social, professional and academic. We also emphasise the importance of learner autonomy, and our courses invite the learner to take responsibility for their progress, help them to develop their learning skills and the ability to develop themselves.

Our adult course is divided into three stages according to English language level. At each stage, the exit criteria are those specified in the relevant Integrated Skills Exam (ISE) for ILEP purposes by Trinity College London.

All of our courses are project-based which means the students will learn English while working together and making use of technology as a basic tool of communication and support for language learning. Our course has 15 hours of project-based tuition per week (morning or afternoon).

STAGE 1: LIFE SKILLS THROUGH ENGLISH – LEVELS A2 TO B1

The initial stage of our course is designed to help people to make a life in Dublin through English and deal successfully with all the situations that will arise at work, at home and socially. It aims to help develop communication skills that consider the cultural as well as the linguistic challenges to successful communication in English.

STAGE 2: PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION – LEVELS B1 TO B2

The second stage is designed for professionals who are interested in developing their spoken and written communication skills in an international and technology-enhanced environment. The aim is to equip participants to communicate effectively in English in order to be able to progress professionally. Dublin is a hub for international technology companies that employ multinational teams to service European markets in the first language. The language of coordination and management in these companies is always English. however, in order to progress in your career, you need to be able to present yourself well and communicate effectively in that language. Effective communication is about more than just the language, it is about engagement with the culture of the company in an appropriate way.

The aim is to equip participants to communicate effectively in English in order to be able to progress academically. Effective communication is about more than just the language, it is about engaging with the educational culture in an appropriate way.
