Description

Modúl é seo ina ndíreofar ar scileanna Gaeilge na mac léinn idir shaibhriú teanga agus bheachtú cruinnis a fhorbairt chun gur fearr a bheas siad in ann an teanga a ionramháil go héifeachtach muiníneach, go háirithe agus iad á scríobh. Tabharfar tacaíocht dóibh na scileanna úd a fhorbairt a chuirfidh ar a gcumas eolas leathan a chur ar shaoithiúlacht na teanga. Anuas air sin, cuideofar leo na scileanna agus na teicnící atá riachtanach agus iad i mbun téacs Béarla a aistriú go Gaeilge a shealbhú agus a chleachtadh.

Indicative Content and Learning Activities

Ábhar
Is é sprioc an mhodúil seo a chur ar chumas na mac léinn scileanna cruinnis teanga ar ardleibheál a shaothrú agus a chleachtadh. I measc na ngnéithe den teanga a bheas á bplé le linn an mhodúil, áireofar na nithe seo a leanas: foirmeacha teanga (e.g. tuisil, ainmfhocail agus briathartha a ionramháil, foirmeacha caighdeánacha agus foirmeacha canúnacha a idirdhealú, etc.), feidhm An Caighdeán Oifigiúil a thuiscint, cineál an téacs atá le haistriú a iniuchadh agus a aithint, eolas a chur réimeanna teanga éagsúla, cúrsaí téarmaíochta, comhréir, deise labhartha agus deise scríofa na Gaeilge, agus scileanna eagarthóireachta. Déanfar na scileanna éagsúla sin a chleachtadh agus a thástáil trí réimse tascanna praiticiúla a dhéanamh go seachtainiúil a bheas le haighniú mar chuid d’obair an mhodúil agus a dtabharfar aiseolas scríofa ina leith do na mic léinn mar aon le plé sna léachtaí féin ar phointí casta teanga. De bhreis ar na tascanna seachtainiúla beidh measúnachtaí scríofa le cur ar fáil mar dhlúthchuid de mheasúnú an mhodúil. Is fiú 100% de mharc an mhodúil na measúnachtaí sin.
