Ireland is a relaxed,friendlyandwelcomingcountry. It is known as the countryof“onehundredthousandwelcomes.” This will surely be extended to you on your arrival. Most Irish people address each other by their first name and traditionally enjoy chats with neighbours, friends and visitors.

ThereisafamousIrishsaying:‘Astrangerisafriendyouhaven’tmetyet’.

Education in Ireland English is the first language spoken in Ireland. IrishpeoplespeakwithclarityandthestandardofIrisheducationishigh.Therefore you will have the opportunity to practise and develop your language skills wherever you go in Ireland.

TraditionalIrishmusic,storytellingandsportsare very popular with young and old in Ireland.

Age is not important in Ireland as youngandoldsocialisetogether. Traditional pubsare a meeting place for Irish people of all ages. They are places to catch up with friends, relax, unwind and enjoy a Guinness and listen to a traditional music session.

Ireland’s climate is considered to be mild and changeable. This is due to the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures range from 15° to 20°C in summer, around 10°C in spring and autumn and 4° to 7°C in winter. However Irish weather is unpredictable and you should be prepared for the unexpected.

No matter what time of year you choose to be here, Wexford always has something special to offer. Watch the StPatrick’sDayparadeinMarch. Visit our beautiful endless sandy beaches.

WhatistheTIE(TestofInteractiveEnglish)Exam?The Test of Interactive English (TIE) is a task-based oral and written test graded according to the Council of Europe Framework. The Test of Interactive English (TIE) is an international EFL exam developed by a group of Irish English language professionals under the umbrella of ACELS, a government agency responsible at that time for quality assurance in English Language Teaching. It is designed specifically to meet the needs of students coming to Ireland to learn and improve their English.

The TIE has been designed for students of any ability, over the age of 18 as a follow-on to both long and short courses in language schools.It is a flexible, learner-centred exam that can accommodate the needs and interests of learners whatever their level of English, age, cultural or educational background. The test is task-based with the content chosen by each individual learner. There is no specific preparation course required - the exam can tie in with the students’ existing curriculum. Elements of TIE exam preparation are included in the General English Group Course Intensive.

WhereandwhencanIsittheTIEExam?The TIE can be taken at the IELT centre in Dublin on one day per week. The exam has to be booked only 14 days in advance. This makes the TIE an excellent end of course exam for Slaney Language Centre students.

We’ve really appreciated all what you did to make us enjoy our stay and the fact that you were successful with Filippo too, is really something as he is certainly the most difficult and critical of our family. Moreover, as a primary school teacher I think that you were great in getting children so involved in quite all the afternoon activities offered by your school: the crab fishing, the international lunch, the football match, the goodbye song etc. Now it’s my turn to say to you: Well done! We’ll surely recommend your school to our family and to my pupils and we know that if we’re coming back to the ‘fantastic Ireland’, we’ll come to Wexford to say hello to you, no doubt!

Luisa,42,PrimarySchoolteacherwhoattendedafamilycourse

Hello everybody, a short email to tell you I arrived at home. Today I’m still a little bit in Ireland, it’s raining (lol). I would like to thank everybody for the quality of your welcome and of the lessons but also for the friendly atmosphere in the school. Now I know to find the sun in Ireland you only have to look the eyes and the smiles of Irish peo-ple and to find the warmth you have only to listen their heart. Thank you very much for everything.

Christian,43,French,whoattendedanIntensivePlusCourse

I miss you. You made me feel so good. I’d like to come back some day. The atmosphere in the school is genuine, brilliant and the surroundings beautiful. The best thing is that you feel relaxed and don’t have any pressure to learn English and I think, this is really important, mainly for people shy like me. The organisation is very accurate and the skills and quality of teachers are fantastic.

JosefromSpainwhoattendedaOne-to-OneCourse

We would like to thank all of you for everything!It’s hard to believe that we have to leave Ireland today. We had such a great time and are very sad that we have to leave. It was a pleasure for us to spend 5 weeks together with you. We learned so much, our English has improved a lot and we enjoyed all the activities with you. The time in class and also our work-experience were really good experiences. It was not only a school of teaching English, it was like a big family!! We wish you all the best and hope that you’ll stay as you are because you are such a great team. A million thanks to everyone of you! We would love to come back next year.

Alissa,21andTanja,19,fromGermanywhoattendedtheEnglishandInternshipCourse

I appreciate that I could learn English at the Slaney Language Centre. The school was just as I imagined. The class was small and I could have enough opportunity to speak English. The atmosphere was so friendly. I felt the distance between teachers and students was very short. Every teacher was eager to meet the needs of students. I could know and understand more about Ireland this time through the stay in Wexford. And I could exchange with lots of people. It was a very valuable experience for me. I look forward to visit Wexford and see you again some day. Tomoko,61,teacher,JapanesewhoattendedanIntensivePlusCourse

Have I told you that we had a great time in Ireland and that you are very much to blame for that? Have I told you that Anita’s helpful assistance together with Lisa’s made it all very easy-going? That we absolutely enjoyed every activity, the weather, even the classes, the entertainment by the Great Circus Ring Master Jim, the food, the landscape, the music.... should I go on? Suffice to say that Javier jr wanted to stay and live in Ireland. All the best and as we say in Spanish – a big fat hug.

Javier,50,Spanish,SchoolprincipalwhoattendedaFamilyCourse

I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me. Everyone I met in the school helped me so I want to say thank you. It was a wonderful time. I had a great experience. Thank you.

Takeshi,32,Japanesebaker,whoattendedtheGeneralEnglishGroupCourseIntensive

I would like to say thank you for this great month. This is/was one of the best experiences in my life and I’m sure I will remember it forever.I’m sure that I will see you all again! (Maybe next year? Who knows... ) Now it’s time to say/write a last good bye, even though we will see us again! ;-) Good bye SLC!

Student Comments


Repeat Students in 2017I just wanted to let you know that my daughter came home excited, happy and very much in love with Ireland and Irish people. She told us how she felt at home, how helpful everybody was, how kind and friendly. She told us about the charming places she visited, her excellent teachers and Jim of course. Last but not least her classmates – they made a great group and she learned a lot about lives in their countries, too. I appreciate very much all you have done for Hana and wish you all the best.

Marie,motherofHana(18),CzechRepublic

Thank you so much for the fantastic time we had with you in Wexford. We enjoyed the lovely atmosphere in your school, the beautiful surroundings and the lessons with the friendly and encouraging teachers. The highlights of our stay were definitively the activites with Jim. If a language school can have a “soul”, then it is Jim with his great humour and sense of community. He turned every part of the tours into an exciting adventure for the kids and an entertaining experience for the adults - even the daily journey to school and back was always great fun. Thanks a lot to all of you. We are hoping to return again one day.

Barbara(43),Stefan(51)andAlexander(7)fromGermanyattendingourfamilycourse

Last but not least, a big compliment to Catherina my hostmother. She was so lovely and cheerful that I never felt homesick. She took care of us and did her best to make us happy. I miss you so much. And I have a big request: Please stay the way you are! I hope that many other people will also have their best time in life in Ireland, in Wexford and in your school. Thanks for this great experience!

Tom,19,AustrianwhoattendedtheGeneralEnglishGroupCourseIntensive

I had fantastic time while studying in Slaney Language Centre! Every moment me and my kids were busy with different interesting things. It wasn’t only language, but perception the new country, its traditions and the most fabulous thing- the people, beautiful, generous, with great sense of humour!

NataliaRumyantsva(46)Russian,whoattendedaFamilyCoursewithher16yearolddaughterandher8yearoldson.

We are so proud that many of our students come back to us for another course or tell their friends about us. Below are some language students who came back to us in 2017 for a second, third, fourth, fifth and even sixth time. Thank you so much for coming again, we have become friends!


GeneralEnglishGroupCourse Intensive (Small Groups) We pride ourselves on our lowtutor-studentratio.

We aim to develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills with the main emphasis on conversation. We use the course book ‘New English File’ which includes consideration for a variety of media. Many exercises are designed for groups of students, with interaction in mind. Elements of the TIE (Test of Interactive English) are included in the syllabi. We believe that language learning can be both challenging and enjoyable. Due to the relaxed atmosphere in our school and the small group sizes, students make significant progress in all areas of English language development. We encourage our students to take the TIE exam as an end of course exam. This is the course for parents attending our family courses.

Together with the booking confirmation we send out placement tests to our clients. Pre-testing before arrival ensures students can begin classes on their first morning. Students are placed in groups according to their level.

CoolKidsCourses:tailored towards students aged between 6 and 10Our youngest students learn English through a variety of child centred, fun filled activities under the expert supervision of fully qualified teachers. Activities include songs, board games, arts and crafts, and drama. Elements of the Cambridge Starters Exams are included in the course syllabus.

KeenTeensCourses: tailored towards students aged between 11 and 15Our teenage students are placed in groups according to their level of English. We usually have two to three different level groups. Keen Teens Courses are General English Group Courses focusing on topics that are interesting and relevant for teenage learners. We use the text book ‘Cambridge Interactive’ for our young learners. Students are given opportunities to learn about Ireland, it’s history, people, culture and traditions throughout the course. Elements of Cambridge Examinations are included in the Keen Teens syllabi.

While students learn the main language skills, the focus on both the Cool Kids and the Keen Teens courses is on conversation as it is important that our young learners enjoy communicating in English.

During our family courses we offer three afternoon activities per week and a daytrip on weekends. Transport and admission fees apply. Children aged 6 to 12 can now join an afternoon club with Irish children. Please contact us for more information.

LanguageCourseandWWOOFingWorld Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms

Would you like to stay in Ireland a bit longer and practise your language skills? Do you like animals and spending time in the countryside?

Students on the English and WWOOFing programme start with an English language course (min 2 weeks) and then go on to work on an Irish farm and receive accommodation in return. WWOOFing has become very popular in recent years with people who like hands-on work in a natural environment.

The organisation WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) lists organic farms in Ireland who take wwoofers for a couple of weeks. www.wwoof.ie

It is advisable to arrange your farm placement well in advance, especially if you are coming during the summer months.
