Overview
This is an Irish language module aimed at complete beginners. It is designed for students who have not previously studied Irish and students who have no knowledge of the Irish language or know only a few words and phrases. This module will be an introduction to the Irish language in which students are required to participate actively in the classroom and devote time to autonomous learning. Emphasis will be placed on developing the four language skills. At the end of the module students will have mastered the key linguistic elements of level A1 (foundation level 1) of the syllabus developed for the European Certificate in Irish and will be progressing towards acquiring level A2 (foundation level 2). This module is offered by the School of Irish, Celtic Studies, Irish Folklore and Linguistics.
