Quality is the core of what we do at Active Language Learning. Our focus is on practical classes where students learn to use real-world English. Our teachers are highly qualified, with a wide range of native speaker accents from Ireland and the UK. All of our teachers have many years’ experience in teaching English.
We have a very simple philosophy at ALL. We want our students to learn real-life English and to be able to communicate naturally and fluently. Group classes in the school have a strong speaking focus, and even when studying grammar, students will have lots of opportunities to use their English to talk to each other. In the afternoons, we offer a number of extra activities to help students to continue using what they have learned in class. We have conversation class, movie afternoons, trips to local sights, fish and chips nights, and more. These activities help students to practice their English, and they also help to make new friends.
Our courses are recognised by ACELS, a service of Quality and Qualifications Ireland, for English language teaching (ELT).
