Led by professional tutors of the Gaiety School of Acting - The National Theatre School of Ireland, students will embark on a musical journey through some of the world s greatest musicals. Students will learn to sing, act and dance and will perform in a show for their peers on the final day of the course. No experience is necessary. The CES Fame Academy Summer Course includes English language classes every morning from day to day, and three afternoons of musical dance theatre per week. English Language and Golf There is no better place in the world to learn how to play, or improve your golf, than Ireland. CES has been running a junior English language and golf programme for over 14 years with great success. Our students have English language classes every morning, day to day. On three afternoons per week, students are collected by private bus and are taken to Elm Green Golf Course for their golf classes. Elm Green has a 24 bay driving range where the students receive their professional golf tuition. The club also have a wonderful practice area where other areas of the golf game can be worked on such as the short game and putting! The professionals are able to cater for all levels of golfer from complete beginners to low handicap players. On 2 of the afternoons, golfers who are able to play on the course will enjoy 9 holes on this wonderful parkland course.

21 Junior Super Intensive Summer Course The Junior Super Intensive Programme is a brand new programme that offers junior students the possibility to have a more intensive English language tuition experience. CES International Junior Summer School combines expert English language training with a full programme of sports, activities and cultural visits. The morning lessons focus on developing the core language skills, with particular emphasis given to speaking and listening. Vocabulary and pronunciation work are integrated into each session. We use role-plays, AV technology, project work, and taskbased activities to develop students communicative skills. Students will also be asked to research and give weekly presentations on various aspects of Irish/UK culture, myth and legend. NEW COURSE As well as the morning classes mentioned above, students will have 3 additional afternoons classes aimed at improving their communicative proficiency through discussions, use of authentic material and technology. English Language and Rugby This programme started in 2009 with just 17 participants and we have doubled our numbers every year since then, such is the demand for our rugby programme. Students who are just starting to play rugby, or who have rugby in mind as a professional career, can take this course. CES worked very closely with the IRI (Irish Rugby Institute to design and develop the most suitable course for our students. With students coming to us from countries such as France, Italy, Spain, Argentina and Russia, the course has a truly international feel. The coaches all hold the highest coaching qualifications and some have played the game at the very highest international level. Intensive, dedicated and strong are how the rugby students have ranked this programme. Modern teaching for the modern game of rugby. Centre Of Of English Studies 21 19
