Course Summary:
This programme is designed for students who
have more time at their
disposal to learn English and who wish to become proficient in English
by being immersed in the language and in the culture for a long period
of time.
On arrival, students are tested and a
specific study programme is
created for them taking into account their level of English, their aim
for the term of the programme and the length of time they are here to
study.
Students can commence any one of the above
programmes at any time of
year and we can integrate preparation for any of the Cambridge
Examinations (FCE/CAE) into any of the terms, provided the student has
the appropriate level of English on entry. There are opportunities to
take either of these examination in December, March or June at
University College Cork, our local testing centre. (The above costs do
not include examination fees)
Accommodation
There are many accommodation options
available in Killarney including
host families, self-catering, B & Bs, hotels and apartments. One of
the most popular options for those in long-stay programmes is to stay
with a host family for the first few weeks and then to find an
apartment or room in a house, sharing with others for the remainder of
their stay. Killarney School of English can give advice and help
in finding such an apartment or room when they make the decision to
change.
