Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Texts in Irish will be read and discussed. More complicated structures will be taught and vocabulary built up. This course is targeting intermediate students. The minimum requirement is at least 1 semester of Irish (can also be a longer time ago) or similar (e.g. courses at other institutes or a period of time spent amongst Irish speakers). It is important that the basic structures are already known to the students. I will go over the basics quickly again at the beginning of the course.
The goal is to build on existing knowledge, to introduce some of the more challenging structures of the Irish language.
Method: interactive - The students are expected to practise at home. Individual teaching, group work - the emphasis will be on independent working.

Assessment and permitted materials

Attendance, general participation, homework, written assignment towards the end of the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Assessment will be continuous. There will be weekly assignment, whereby a text of intermediate level will be translated and the students must be able to explain more complicated grammatical constructions. In order to pass, I must be able to clearly recognise that the student has understood most of the text and the grammatical or linguistically interesting constructions used in it. This will be regularly assessed orally during the tutorial. Support materials such as a dictionary, preposition lists etc. are allowed.

Examination topics

All texts used in the tutorial and new grammatical and linguistic structures learned during the course in addition to the basic elements learned previously are the basis for assessment. Assessment can be written or oral and is continuous.

Reading list

I recommend, that every student has a dictionary (e.g. Foclóir Póca, Publ. An Gúm). If someone already has another dictionary, this will surely be enough (no need to buy another one!). For those of you who do not want to buy a dictionary, there are alternatives on the internet (focloir.ie) but they often give the student too much information (for example, www.focloir.ie). Working with a small compact dictionary is generally easier. A group order can be arranged to keep postage and packing costs low. Other materials will be provided through Moodle.
