Cork English College

English courses and golf in Cork.
This programme is available to junior students between the ages of 12 and 17.
The courses offer a combination of language tuition in the mornings with golf and cultural activities in the afternoons and evenings.

Accommodation:
Students on this programme reside with carefully selected Irish host families. Accommodation is offered on a full board basis. Students share a room with a student of another nationality. This allows students to experience Irish family life while continuing to put their language skills to practical use.

In the afternoon, students on this programme participate in golf training on two afternoons with a PGA professional and on the other two afternoons, they participate in a golf match. Our English & Golf programmes allow you to both perfect you English and improve your golf while mixing with young golfers from other countries. We cater for all golf handicaps and levels of English .The remaining afternoon can be spent shopping or engaging in supervised sports at the junior centre gymnasium. Evening Activities are also offered on three evenings a week and consist of a disco, bingo and karaoke.Students participate in a full day excursion to a venue outside Cork every Saturday.

Academic:
Students attend classes at the junior school every morning from 9am to 12:15 pm. All students are assessed on arrival and are then placed in classes with students of a similar ability.  Classes are interactive and the main focus is on improving the students’ spoken ability and vocabulary expansion.  A progress test every Friday ensures that the progress of each individual is monitored on an ongoing basis.
