English immersion programmes in Ireland

Studying English on an immersion course in Ireland makes a lot of sense. So many famous English-language authors and poets are Irish. Jonathan Swift who wrote Gulliver's Travels, Samuel Beckett, famous for his plays, and Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, were all Irish wordsmiths. So are the witty Oscar Wilde, poet William Butler Yeats, and James Joyce, who turned the literary world upside down with his experimental works like Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake. Ireland's literary history is deep and wide. On an immersion course in Ireland, you'll be able to drink as deeply of the English language as your thirst allows.

During your immersion course in Ireland, you can choose to stay with a host family. Participating in your host family's life will make you more familiar with the language and the culture. Whether you're sharing stories at teatime or swapping tall tales at the local pub, your English will benefit greatly. If you prefer to live with people your own age, you can choose to share an apartment or dorm room with other students from around the world. As you and your new friends explore Dublin, you'll understand what makes an immersion course in Ireland so different from any other English course: this is the magic that Ireland will work on you.
