English Language Teaching
JULY 2023 (REOCCURRING)
This past Summer, I was given the opportunity to work as an English Teacher and Art Room Co-ordinator in Moyle Park English Language College. During my time there, I independently planned & delivered English lessons each day to groups of students of varying age ranges & abilities. I also conducted assessments for these students, and adapted lessons accordingly.
I also acted as the Art Room Co-ordinator throughout my time at MPELC, and created a series of workshops both in the afternoon and evening, to facilitate opportunities for students to learn a variety of new techniques, and experiment with new media, but also to learn key words & practise their English abilities. I also helped co-ordinate and supervise excursions, special evening activities and discos for these students.
The college has welcomed thousands of international students to Ireland to learn English, and aims to provide students with a high standard of learning in a safe and friendly environment. Students travel from all over the world to study at Moyle Park College. Groups come from Spain, Italy, France, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.
Courses include 3 hours of classes per day, an afternoon programme of sports and activities and Saturday tours to places of cultural interest in Dublin and surrounding areas.
“Education is not the filling of a pot,
but the Lighting of a Fire”

Art Room Activites
While working in MPELC, I facilitated a number of workshops for students, along with a variety of daily art activities. These were planned in advance, and scheduled through a timetable I created for the outside of the class, to entice students to participate, and also let them know what was happening each day. These activities ranged from canvas painting tutorials, to ceramic workshops, all the way to tie dye!
