Leaving Certificate Programmes
Leaving Certificate Oral Programme
The Leaving Certificate Oral Weekend is perhaps one of our most popular
programmes to date. As it can be difficult to get out of class during
the school week, the weekend option is a favourite amongst schools and
students. (Please note that, as with all our tours, both mid-week and
weekend options are available). Leaving Certificate students often
comment on the fact that they thoroughly enjoy the chance to go on, what
for most of them, is their final school tour before they leave school.
The fact that they also partake in various adventure sports also allows
them to let off some steam during this stressful year. One of the things
that students say again and again is the fact that they don’t feel
‘guilty’ about taking time out from study to come on a Language &
Adventure tour, as they get so much work on their chosen language done.
This is an excellent course and we aim to take the fear out of the oral
exam. We also work extremely hard on building, not only their competence
in speaking various languages, but also on their confidence and
enthusiasm to do so.
Areas of study include:
- Essential vocabulary to cover all areas of conversation
- Review of tenses
- Work on pronunciation
- Sample questions on each topic
- A look at how the exam is actually marked and what the examiners are
looking for
- Students also get plenty of practice speaking the language they are
studying.
