Centre of English Studies for Excellence

First established in 1992 as an English Language School in Dublin, Ireland, the Irish College of English is a quality education provider and is recognised by the Department of Education as having year round English schools for the teaching of English as a foreign language. Our syllabi are carefully designed to meet the needs of our learners and each student is graded on arrival and placed into an appropriate class. On finishing a course, students receive an individual exit report and graded certificate of attainment.

Elementary Level to Advanced Level

Classes range from elementary to advanced proficiency levels and all students are tested on arrival and placed in a class which best suits their level of English. The main focus of all our language school courses is on communication through spoken and written English. Our highly qualified teachers set students clear learning objectives and use the best techniques to provide practice in speaking, writing, listening, reading and grammar for the English language.

Factors at ICE English language schools which help our students excel:

• Students are engaged in communicative activities to develop their ability to speak, listen, read and write in English. There is an emphasis on the use of authentic texts and materials to build students’ cultural awareness during their course at the Irish College of English.
• On-going assessment and movement through class levels ensures that students are always learning at a pace best suited to their needs.
