Special Topics calendar Dublin<\/strong> at ISI Dublin shows the weekly themes available for teachers, Erasmus+ participants and education professionals joining our English language and teacher training programmes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Special Topics are designed to complement General English classes by giving participants the opportunity to explore practical, cultural and professional themes in English. Topics may include communication, inclusion, technology, sustainability, Irish culture, creativity, critical thinking and classroom-focused activities.<\/p>\n

These weekly topics can form part of our Semi-intensive General English<\/a>, Intensive General English<\/a>, CLIL Methodology<\/a> and Erasmus courses for teachers in Dublin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Special Topics for teachers<\/h2>\n

The calendar below shows the planned weekly Special Topics. The topics follow a recurring 12-week cycle, with a new topic beginning every Monday. Once the final topic in the cycle has been completed, the programme begins again with Drama in the Classroom. Topics are subject to change depending on availability, course planning, school closures and final programme arrangements.<\/p>\n
