Our school is situated in a small village in the countryside. Students
spend their free time self-studying, reading, listening to music, watching
TV, chatting with friends or exploring the local sites, which provide students
with the opportunity to practice the use of everyday English and to meet
local Irish people.
We have a rule that students have to speak English at all times
so they have many opportunities to use English not
only in the classroom but also in everyday life.
