•Dear Learner, At Chapterhouse Dublin, we realise that every minute of every class is important, especially if you are on a short term programmes Therefore, we design each of our courses to maximise your learning over a short space of time. Furthermore, we strongly believe good teaching is not only concerned with the transfer of knowledge but that learner motivation and the development of effective learning skills are of equal importance. Many schools claim to offer “intensive programmes” which can in reality mean even more hours of leisurely chatting often in several languages. Some schools suffer from absenteeism, long term students, latecomers, and lack of structure, assessment or homework. While the atmosphere in Chapterhouse is friendly and supportive, we take our teaching and your learning very seriously indeed. Our programmes put real intensity back into the meaning of intensive programme. In addition to the regularly–assessed core skills, you will be converted into a high performance learner through our Chapterhouse Learning to Learn© Module. Come to Chapterhouse to experience the difference good teaching makes and realise your English language potential. We look forward to welcoming you.
