Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
attendance, general participation, continuous small checks of material learned, also orally. All support materials (dictionary, internet) allowed.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
At the end of the semester, students must be able to read a short text in a way that it can be understood and that the right intonation is evident. They should also have knowledge on the system of pronunciation, of relevant grammatical constructions discussed in the tutorial and their influence on pronunciation and intonation. A basic knowledge of the various dialects is also expected.
Examination topics
The students are expected to practise the pronunciation and the grammar points learned also at home. In some cases, recordings will be made available for this purpose. All texts and recordings which were used in this tutorial are the basis for assessment. Assessment will be both oral (the pronunciation) and written (grammar points, influence on pronunciation, knowledge of dialects) whereby continuous assessment also counts.
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. Whoever needs a dictionary should contact me per E-mail as I have some left-over from the last order which I will pass on at cost price. Other materials will be provided through Moodle.

1. to get an overview of the dialects of Irish and practise basic pronunciation and intonation
2. to practise basic grammatical structures in Irish
It is meant to complement the lecture in basic Irish and is suitable for all levels: those who have neglected the pronunciation of Irish and who want refresh both pronunciation and the basic grammatical structures in Irish or those who are learning it for the first time and who are attending the lecture. I would advise beginners to attend the accompanying lecture in any case.Apart from learning the pronunciation and intonation in a dialect from the West of Ireland, the emphasis will be on the association of written Irish with the appropriate sound. Separate typical sounds will be practised and later simple dialogues will be used. Dialects in other parts of Ireland will be discussed when the basics are clear to the student. Parallel to pronunciation, the basic structures of Irish will also be practised through written exercises and analysing the dialogues. These texts will also be used to further practise the pronunciation and intonation of the language.The tutorial will take place as a video-chat online through Moodle (probably using Collaborate, as this platform facilitates working separately in small groups now and again). Written exercises will be made available through Moodle.
