This course is aimed at groups of current practising international teachers of English traveling together who may be teaching English through other content like, for instance, Art or Maths or Science or be teaching English as a second language in primary or secondary schools. Teachers should have a minimum level  of A2+ English. The course aims to be highly practical and involves defining the needs of the group and tailoring the course to those needs. 

The learning environment is communicative, and participative. There are opportunities at the weekend to explore the island of Ireland through extra organised trips.
