Chapter 01
Dublin: look for the layers
SEDA Summer’s Dublin destination guide points to history, culture and global technology companies. Trinity College, Dublin Castle and Temple Bar are among the places it highlights. A useful field note: choose one old and one modern detail, then describe how they sit beside each other.
Chapter 02
Cork: follow food and maritime stories
Cork’s destination page highlights food culture, maritime heritage and access to Ireland’s southwest coast. Students can compare what they notice in a market, along the River Lee or near the harbour—then write down one new word that helps explain the place.
Chapter 03
Limerick: connect a campus with a river
The Limerick programme is based at the University of Limerick beside the River Shannon. The destination guide also lists the Cliffs of Moher and Killarney among possible excursion interests. Ask which visits are included for the specific programme and dates.
Chapter 04
Galway: make time for the west
Galway’s destination guide describes a lively arts and festival scene. English lessons are at Yeats College. The wider west-coast setting gives students plenty to notice, but accommodation and excursion details should be confirmed for each quote.
Chapter 05
Keep a three-line field note
- One detail I noticed…
- One question I want to ask…
- One English word I used today…
