Location: Just across the River Lee, in the engaging Irish city of Cork, is Cork English World. Cork is the third largest city in Ireland and although reasonably small, it is jam packed with things to see.

Local attractions: Cork has some interesting local food treats for those interested, and these can be tried and tested in the English Market or in one of the many cultural festivals and fetes that frequent the city. The city has two cathedrals, and the most spectacular one, the gothic Fin Barre's Cathedral, is opposite Cork English World. The Crawford Gallery is a great way to view the local art with over 1000 art pieces using a number of different mediums. All of the inner city attractions are within a 20 minute walking circumference of the school. There are also attractions outside the city which are well worth a visit including the Cork City Gaol Museum, Blarney Castle and the Cork Butter Museum. A quick walk across the River Lee and students can find a well connected bus station for trips outside the city centre. Cork has all you can need for a stay, with local pubs, restaurants, bars and shops and the nightlife is true to the Irish reputation.

Getting around: The city has its own international airport but for those coming into the city from the capital city of Dublin, there are frequent bus and train services which generally take about 3 hours.

School facilities: The architecture throughout the city is of a Georgian style and this is reflected in the beautiful school building at Cork English World. Inside the school the facilities are modern and the atmosphere homely.

Teaching style: The teachers are up to date with the current teaching methodology and there is an inhouse teacher training programme to ensure that the students receive the best teaching possible during their stay at Cork English World.

Course structure: To accompany a range of different general English classes available, the school also offers its students the opportunity to join an exam preparation course in either the IELTS exam course or FCE Cambridge Exam, both of which are credible English exams that can be used for employment or further education.

Social activities: The Irish are known for their friendliness and the school offers its students a number of after class activities that can be joined by simply signing up to them in reception. These include a free weekly conversation class, half day excursions, visits to local attractions, evening socialising at local taverns and at times a full day excursion.

"Not recommended for short stays."
Kornelia 5.0
"Great teachers."
Meritxell 4.0
"I was there for 2 weeks. My teacher was Àngela who is fantastic, funny and helpful. The school was well organised. The only thing that they have to improve are the social activities in the afternoon because they only offer a grammatical lesson for 2 hours and go to dance Irish dancing. "

“Already answered in the evaluations, but I would like to mention the teacher assigned to me (John), wo had got a lot of empathy and was very professional. And a very special and affectionate mention for Mayara, from reception, who helped us a lot and in everything she could, making us feel very comfortable and greatly reducing the logical nervousness of our level of English.”
“Maybe I would have preferred more diversity in the nationalities of my classmates to make it more enjoyable, although I guess it was a coincidence and it is not that important.”

Listening and speaking every day.
Small classrooms, never more than 10 people.”

You join the course at the beginning, middle or end of the textbook.

Insider tip: “If you want to learn English even more and communicate daily in the language instead of having the multicultural and lively life of the apartment residence, you should prefer a host family as accommodation.”

Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I was there for 2 weeks. My teacher was Àngela who is fantastic, funny and helpful. The school was well organised. The only thing that they have to improve are the social activities in the afternoon because they only offer a grammatical lesson for 2 hours and go to dance Irish dancing.

Student reviews about Homestay Type A
Rebecca
Accommodation: 2.0
Location: 3.0
Room: 2.0
Meals 3.0
"I had two host families, I have based the ratings on the second one as I stayed there for longer. My first family (Carol) was a dream - super kind and open. My second family (Ann) was very difficult as a person and I was more of a housekeeper most of the time and occasionally a therapist when she told me about her family drama. It was bearable, which is why I didn't move, but I wouldn't say it was a relaxed atmosphere. Ann also had some very extreme views, which she always tried to convince everyone of.
