Student Reviews
Spending time there, with lots of lovely teachers and doing many wonderful activities, was something that I will never forget… Moreover, I made a lot of friends in class, with whom today, I continue talking.
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 and provide 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 and ensure student centred learning. 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. Teachers will design lessons based on the interests of the students and each lesson will have a particular focus on communication skills. Students take regular tests in order for teachers to monitor progress and ensure students are learning during lessons. All students will receive an end of course end of course certificate with their level of English and comments from their teacher. ATC’s teachers are all degree qualified, have an international English teaching certificate and some have been teaching with ATC for a number of years.

A full evening programme with a choice of exciting activities is provided on campus for all students 7 nights a week, including Irish nights, movie evenings, quiz nights and others. The welfare of our students is of paramount importance to us and we offer a high standard of care and supervision to all our students. We provide nominated ATC staff members to act as guardians to our individual students that travel without Group Leaders. By choosing summer with ATC, students will be sure to develop their English skills in a fun environment, meet new international friends, and make lifelong memories.
