Adult Summer General English Programme

An international 20 hour per week course for adults developing communicative abilities and encouraging self-expression through fun and enjoyable activities based around music, drama, mythology and Irish culture.  Participants will enjoy the privacy of our designated adult learning centre.

One full-day and three afternoon activities each week include hikes in the mountains, rock-climbing, archeological walks, sea-kayaking, boat fishing, exploration of the coastline with a marine biologist, cycling, trips to nearby towns and much more.

As an alternative to our outdoor afternoon activities you can choose our volunteer internship placement programme (3-week courses only).  Asana will place you as a voluntary worker in a local business such as bar, restaurant, family business, tourist activity, office business or any area in which you specify interest.  Placement is usually three to four hours in the afternoon or evening, and is an ideal way to be fully immersed in an English speaking environment.

Transfers from and to Cork Airport, Kerry Airport and Killarney train station on Saturday or Sunday are included in the price.  If travelling outside these days please contact Asana for help with your booking.
