English Language Week 6AB in Bray, Ireland

6AB-Irlandreise-Mai-2014-Wicklow21 After arriving on Monday in front of our language school we were all excited to be picked up by our host families.

After Ms Froeschl had welcomed us warmly, Ms. Ayse Bürgmann told us something about jobs in the EU, how to find them and what EURES is (EURopean Employment Service). We were given some background information about working abroad. Then the main part, the English workshop, started. Greg Eastman, a South African (ex tennis pro), and Dave Baker (a British golf pro) explained how to write the perfect CV and how to behave properly in a job interview.

6CD – Language Week in Dublin City

„I wanted real adventures to happen to myself. But real adventures, I reflected, do not happen to people who remain at home: they must be sought abroad.“ (James Joyce, Dubliners)

Fifty-one students of 6CD and their English teachers Mag. Brigitte Kern, Mag. Juliana Mistlbacher and Mag. Johannes Eichhorn spent a fantastic week in Dublin, exploring the breathtakingly beautiful countryside, the secrets of Guinness Storehouse and Kilmainham Gaol and surviving Dublin’s chaotic traffic. We particularly enjoyed the Irish hospitality, an exciting Ladies Football Final in Croke Park and glorious sunshine of the Irish coast.

6AB in Eire

Classes 6A/B spent an exciting and actually quite intensive language week together with their teachers Parrer and  Sommer in Bray and Dublin. After school with their native teachers Eileen, Colette and Sean, our students explored Dublin with a guide and on their own, saw the Guiness Storehouse, visited the notorious Kilmainham Gaol (jail), and saw the world-famous monastery complex Glendalough in authentic Irish rain. Also a visit of Croke Park stadion, home of Irish games such as Gaelic football and Hurling, was part of the program.  A cliff walk along the coast from Bray to Greystones was another highlight of the week. In the evenings we did fun activities such as Irish dance, bowling and spent an evening in the cinema. Above all, we experienced the friendliness and hospitality of the Irish. Thank you Eire for a wonderful week!

From March 7 to March 14, 44 students from 6C and 6D classes and their English teachers Mag. Johannes Eichhorn and Mag. Katharina Apfelthaler spent a week in Bray and explored Ireland´s capital city Dublin. Rough and challenging weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hailstone and only occasional sunshine) did not prevent us from enjoying a Gaelic football match, the cliffwalk to Greystones and the scenery in Glendalough. Furthermore, we could improve our English both when doing projects in the language school and when having a chat with the host families.
