Ireland: geography and landscape
Ireland is an island nation on the westernmost edge of
Europe. It is the continent's second largest island (after
Great Britain). The Republic of Ireland occupies 80
percent of this landmass, while a large chunk of land in
the north, called Northern Ireland, is part of the United
Kingdom. All together, the island of Ireland is made up of
32 counties.
Ireland is known for its wide expanses of lush, green
fields − so much so, that its nickname is the Emerald Isle.
But there are also large areas of rugged, rocky
landscape, too. About 15,000 years ago, Ireland was
completely covered by thick glaciers. The movement of
these giant sheets of ice stripped the soil, leaving huge
tracts of flat, limestone ground.
The midlands and west coast of Ireland are dotted with
damp peat bogs, the soggy remains of dried-up ancient
lakes left by the glaciers. Ireland's highlands rise mainly
in the southwest, often ending at sheer cliffs that plunge
thousands of feet into the Atlantic Ocean.
Ireland's wildlife and nature
The Irish have a great affection for nature and rural life. The country's first coins even featured pictures of animals. Low levels of development and pollution in Ireland have left most of the nation's open spaces relatively undisturbed.
Did you know that there are no wild snakes in Ireland?
The sea has stopped many animals common on
mainland Europe from reaching the island. There are also
only two wild mouse species (the wood mouse and house
mouse), one type of lizard (the common lizard) and just
three kinds of amphibians (the natterjack toad, smooth
newt and common frog).
Irish wildlife is protected by government conservation programs. To preserve natural habitat, the governmenthas established six national parks and hundreds of national heritage areas throughout the country. Great news!
Irish history
Archaeologists think the first people to settle in Ireland arrived around 6000 B.C. By 3500 B.C., settlers were using stone tools to clear farmlands. Around 700 B.C., a diverse and technologically advanced culture from central Europe, called the Celts, began to settle on the island. They would thrive there for nearly 2,000 years.
n the ninth century A.D., Viking invaders began raids into Ireland. They eventually established settlements that later became some of the country's main cities, including the capital, Dublin. These aggressive arrivals fought with the Celts often for 200 years until a battle in 1014, known as the Battle of Clontarf, united the country. Peace broke down quickly though and Ireland was divided into many kingdoms.
In 1170, Norman Vikings who had taken control of
England invaded Ireland and made it an English territory.
In the early 1600s, England's official religion became
Protestant, while most Irish remained Roman Catholic.
This would create tensions that would eventually lead to
revolution and Ireland's independence.?
the 1820s, British laws unfair to Catholics had sparked a mass movement for Irish sovereignty. In 1829, many of those laws were overturned, but Ireland still wanted freedom. In 1922, after violent uprisings, the Irish Free State was created within the British Empire.
In 1948, most of Ireland became an independent country,
while six mainly Protestant counties in the northeast
remained a British territory.
Irish people and culture
Ireland is a nation of storytellers. The tradition dates back to Celtic bards, who would record and recite the country's history. Many famed writers come from Ireland, including four winners of the Nobel Prize for literature. The Irish also excel in sports, music and dancing!
Irish government and economy
The government of Ireland consists of an elected parliament, which makes the laws, and a president, who is head of state. The head of the government is the Taoiseach (pronounced tee-shuck), which means "chief." The Taoiseach is the prime minister, and leader of the political party with the most parliament members.?
For most of its history, Ireland's economy has been based on farming and agriculture. But beginning in the late 1950s, government efforts to attract business turned the country from one of Europe's poorest nations to its second wealthiest. The amazing turnaround and economic boom in the mid 1990s and early 2000s earned Ireland the nickname the "Celtic Tiger."
During the global financial crisis of 2008, Ireland entered a recession and the country experienced serious financial problems. But in the past few years Ireland's economy has started to recover and is once again on the rise.

( A ) GRAMMAR-TRANSLATION METHOD ( B ) DIRECT METHOD ( C ) ORAL APPROACH ( D) AUDIOLINGUALISM METHOD
( ) Grammatical rules are not presented formally and the texts used for reading and writing activities are no longer literary since this method is based on certain principles, such as: selection, gradation and presentation.
( ) Learning is associated with syntactic, morphological and phonological structures which are learned from a system of stimulus, response and reinforcement.
( ) In this method, the writing skill is also developed, but not with a communicative purpose.
( ) Adopting the monolingual principle, this method involves the use of objects, gestures and images to explain the meanings of words, since the students' native language is prohibited from being used.
( ) Language learning would be associated with the formation of readers and the intellectual development of students.
( ) This method involves automatic correction and immediate assessment of students' mistakes by teachers in order to prevent the students from forming or acquiring bad habits and behaviors during the learning process.
( ) As a theoretical systematization of foreign language teaching, its objective would be the development of students' oral skills as the vocabulary and grammatical structures they have learned would be controlled in terms of frequency of occurrence.
( ) In this method, learning must be directly connected to the target language without going through the process of translation into the students' native language.
( ) The language to be taught is the spoken language and the new elements of the language are practiced situationally as the grammatical items are proposed gradually, that is, from the simplest to the most complex forms.
( ) In this method, language is both seen and considered as a behavior, for it is a means of oral communication.

What is a consumer society?
A consumer is a person who buys things, and a
consumer society is a society that encourages people to
buy and use goods. Some people think that a consumer
society provides people with better lives. People in
consumer societies tend to live more comfortably.
They eat a wider variety of food. They go to restaurants
more often. They also buy a lot of products, maybe
more than they need. Products such as TVs, cell phones,
and computers used to be luxuries. Today people can
buy these things more easily than ever before. The
market for these goods is growing faster all the time.
Consumer societies encourage people to buy bigger
and better products. For example, “smarter” phones
come out every year. In a consumer society, people are
often buying newer and more advanced products. This
creates a lot of waste. Nowadays, many people are
thinking more seriously about the effects of consumer
societies on the environment, and they are trying to
become more responsible consumers.

Is English language teaching for you? A guide to a new career
Marie Therese Swabey
June 14, 2021
Whether you’re just starting out or thinking of a career change, teaching English as a foreign language is one of the most rewarding professional journeys you can embark on.
In English language teaching, there is a lot of career potential. As you develop your skills and take on more responsibilities, you can enjoy a long-term career. Many professionals become senior teachers or teacher trainers, or move into management or materials writing.
Why become an English language teacher?
There are lots of reasons you might want to become an English language teacher. For a start, you can make a real difference in people’s lives. According to a 2019 survey by Wall Street English, 18% of professionals who have learned English report that they feel happier at work; 12% say they feel happier in general; and half of English speakers earn 25% more because of their language skills.
Moreover, English language teaching is an immensely flexible profession. You can decide whether to take a public or private job, or offer lessons on your own. Your working conditions are flexible too. You might prefer to work in a local school or academy, but many English language teaching jobs also allow you to work online from home. And if you’re feeling adventurous, there are lots of opportunities to live and work abroad, in a new country and culture. If you do travel further afield, you might even learn a new language of your own.
English language teaching is a career that encourages creativity. You’ll become an expert at designing lessons and making learning materials to meet the needs of your students. Best of all ... it’s fun! You spend your day with interesting, engaging people who are keen to learn. What could be better than that?
What do English language teachers do every day?
It probably goes without saying that language educators teach students English on a day-to-day basis. But there are plenty of other aspects to the job as well.
English language teachers assess their learners through quick tests and official exams. They use this information to define learning objectives, and then plan courses and classes that meet their students’ needs.
Language teachers use a range of coursebooks and English language teaching materials, including a variety of audio, visual and digital tools. At the same time, they find and create teaching and learning materials of their own.
In the process of developing learners’ reading, listening, speaking andwriting abilities, teachers also help students develop confidence in presenting and communicating ideas. Furthermore, language teachers encourage students to develop important 21st century skills, such as creativity, collaboration, leadership, autonomous learning and adaptability. These skills are transferable and will help learners in many areas throughout their lives.
What do you need to become an English language teacher?
Being a good English teacher requires more than just being able to speak the language fluently. You’ll also need a comprehensive knowledge of English grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary, combined with excellent communication skills. Teachers of young learners will also need to have an understanding of how to teach engaging, effective classes to children.
It helps if you are comfortable speaking in front of other people, managing groups of learners, and able to plan and organise your time. And it’s important to have a friendly, sympathetic nature and a good degree of cultural sensitivity. After all, you’ll be working with people from all over the world and all walks of life.
Where can you teach?
There are opportunities to teach the English language almost everywhere. For example, you can teach English in an Englishspeaking country such as the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland. You’ll find many private and public programmes and classes for people who have come to work or study, and who need to improve their English.
Alternatively, you can teach English in schools and universities in countries where English is the official language – but not always how people communicate on a daily basis. Nigeria, Malta, India and Sierra Leone are examples. You might also prefer to teach in non-English-speaking countries, where you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and learn a new language too.
In terms of teaching environments, there are opportunities to teach in private academies, public schools, universities, offices, private homes and online.
Who do you teach?
There is an extensive list of people who want to learn to speak English. Many teachers start out with a variety of class types to find out which they like best. Your options include (but are not limited to):
- • adults in private groups or one-to-one classes
- • adults in language schools, colleges or universities
- • professionals such as business people, medical professionals, pilots, etc. who require English for a specific purpose
- • students who are preparing for an official exam
- • people who have moved to an English-speaking country and need to improve their English
- • young learners in one-to-one classes or groups, or online
- • young learners in private language schools, or in secondary/ primary schools.
