English Courses with Activities

Each summer, the DLTC English Language School (Ireland) offers an exciting programme of English classes and extracurricular activities to foreign teenagers who want to learn English in Ireland.  We offer our courses in 2 fantastic locations: Dun Laoghaire (Dublin - capital city and East Coast of Ireland); and Clare (West Coast of Ireland). We are a family-run business and we provide a very personal service to each student - taking great care to ensure that students are safe, relaxed and enjoying themselves throughout their stay. As part of our standard packages, DLTC will:

• meet the student at the airport in Ireland;
• place the student in accommodation with an Irish family;
• place the student in English classes appropriate to their level of English;
• integrate the student with other students;
• provide the student with a diverse range of interesting, fun and challenging activities;
• monitor progress and contentment;
• and finally return the student to the check-in and security gates at the Airport in Ireland for departure

The programme is aimed at students from around the world between the ages of 12-17 years who wish to learn or improve their English and enjoy a holiday in Ireland at the same time. We welcome individual students arriving on their own as well as groups of up to 50 students at a time.
