Learners at All Stages
City Language School is focused on providing a memorable, cultural and educational experience in the context of learning English in Ireland. We deliver dynamic and engaging English tuition to students from all over the world, both to individuals and groups arriving for short mini-stays. Language courses at City Language School offer a curriculum which focuses on promoting life-long learning strategies for learners at all stages.
Real World English
CEFR-based Curriculum
As English Language Educators, we incorporate the principles of the Common European Framework Reference of Languages (CEFR) into our programmes and assessment practices, and promote a learner-centered approach to language learning. Communication and using language to interact is key when setting learning outcomes and learners receive graded and focused feedback on their use of English and the progress they make.
21st Century Skills
In addition to the CEFR, which promotes the language learner’s autonomy in the real world, our curriculum and syllabus aims to develop competences in 21st century skills. Collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and developing digital competency are key to our course design.
Teaching, Learning, & Assessment
Our experienced and highly-qualified teachers respond to the needs and interests of all students to provide dynamic and engaging lessons which place the student at the very centre of lesson-planning. All skills are practised in class, with priority given to speaking and listening. All permanent classrooms are fully equipped with Interactive Whiteboards, giving instant access to the latest digital learning technology.
We have a comprehensive and transparent system of assessment practices and learners’ progress is monitored throughout their course through continuous classroom assessment as well as by the Academic Team, who specialise in assessment and evaluation.
