EF Dublin’s intensive course is for those students who are looking for the quickest path to improving their English skills, as this option provides 32 classes every week (21 hours and 20 minutes). The approach taken by the school is general, and benefits people from all walks of life, including those who are studying for academic or work purposes.
Just to add more practice to your already-busy schedule, you will also speak English with your homestay family - think of this as an opportunity to learn more about how people speak locally, as well as the unique cultural aspects of Dublin. Your bedroom features a double bed, and your meals included in your fees are breakfast and dinner.
Take some time to think about how you would like to use your ten Special Interest Lessons that come included in the Intensive Course package, as you will have to speak with your teacher to agree on which subjects you would like to learn more specifically about.
