Student Reviews

I will always remember the different activities that I did and enjoyed, for instance, football and volleyball matches, disco nights, karaoke days…not to speak of the Irish dances!! Moreover, I would like to mention that I made a lot of friends in class, with whom today, I continue talking.

Angela & Maria, Students, Spain

Thank you for taking care of us. You are very good team, who made us and our children (that the most important thing) satisfied. It was a big pleasure to meet and work with you.

Lessons are delivered using the communicative approach, this provides an interactive and engaging learning experience for all students. Lessons have been developed using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, CEFR. Levels from A1 (Elementary) to C1 (Advanced) are offered. Lessons are task based, ensure student centred learning and are focused around topics that teenagers can really identify with.

The course is designed to develop students’ English language skills by integrating the key areas of reading, writing, speaking and listening. Lessons are designed specifically for different age groups and levels of English. Teachers design lessons based on the interests of the students and each lesson will have a particular focus on communication skills. Students have regular assessments in order for teachers to monitor progress and ensure students are suitably challenged and they are progressing during their stay.

All student will receive an end of course report at the end of their stay. ATC’s teachers are all degree qualified, hold an international English teaching certificate and some have been teaching with ATC or in the Irish State sector for a number of years.

ATC Projects –

Students will also take part in a personal development session each week depending on their age; older students will join the ‘Next Generation Career Guidance’ workshop, focusing on topics such as the impact of Covid-19 on workplace automation and flexibility, the opportunities created by Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, the Green Economy alongside Cybersecurity and other emerging sectors.

Younger students will join a Conversation Club, discussing Digital Identity and Citizenship, where they learn to speak about their digital identity, their lives on social media and the challenges and opportunities presented to them as a result.

The University of Limerick offers excellent sports facilities for students to enjoy. A full evening programme with a choice of exciting activities is provided on campus for all students 7 nights a week including activities such as karaoke, Irish night, quiz night, fashion shows and more.
