The General English Year Round Programme is suitable for learners with various levels of English who wish to improve their general English communication skills.
General English will help you to:
- develop your fluency by providing lots of opportunities for practising spoken English;
- understand how the language works;
- develop all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing);
- increase your knowledge of Irish culture;
- practise and improve your intercultural skills;
- develop your ability to learn languages independently.
