Methodology
Includes
ISE Magazine
ISE Magazine is written by ISE students for ISE students. Every term we invite ISE Students
to submit a piece of writing to ISE Magazine. We have published 2 magazines so far, one
which focused on Dublin: advice for students new to Dublin, for example how to find
accommodation and a job, as well as other interesting information such as places of interest
in Dublin and Ireland, restaurant and pub reviews, and so on. Our second issue featured our
students’ creative writing and our third issue, due to be published at the end of the Autumn
term will have a Christmas theme. ISE Magazine is a lovely way for ISE students to share
their stories and experiences with one another, and to see their English writing in print.

exam, and the various exam tasks they will face. They do practice exam
tasks and receive feedback and advice on how best to approach each
different task type
