The most effective method of learning the language is by spending a term or full academic year in an English speaking school. The student will benefit immensely by spending time in a class with 25 – 30 Northern Irish pupils. This programme is designed for those who want to perfect their level of English by totally immersing themselves in the daily linguistic and cultural life in Northern Ireland. Due to Coleraine consisting of 20,000 inhabitants, this course is ideal for those children who have not studied outside of their country before.
The UK education system consists of 2 stages
