The programme of the course consisted of general English language course with the emphasis on conversation and comprehension improvement in the mornings and afternoon individual lessons focusing on methodology of English language teaching as well as Irish culture, history and literature.

He also acquired a lot of knowledge related to the history of Dublin. He feels particularly benefited with the opportunity to share his teaching experience with other students involved. Apart form of the course, Lukáš participated in a number of trips to plenty of Irish places of interest, such as Cliffs of Moher, Galway or Wicklow Mountains, organized by the school and travel agencies.
