Description Díreoidh an modúl seo ar fheasacht teanga, scileanna léitheoireachta agus scríbhneoireachta agus oideolaíochtaí ina bhfuil béim ar thacú le foghlaimeoirí a bhfuil riachtanais speisialta oideachais orthu i scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge. Beidh béim ar chleachtais a chuireann le forbairt na litearthachta Gaeilge. Déanfar iniúchadh ar an dátheangachas agus ar mheasúnú sa dátheangachas. Cuirfidh na mic léinn eolas ar ghnéithe sáiniúla na Gaeilge, m.sh. gramadach, fónaic agus litriú. Beidh béim ar fheasacht teanga. Cuirfear lena dtuiscint ar chur chuige ionduchtach i dteagasc na gramadaí le dul i ngleic leis na dúshláin sa tumoideachas. Leagfar béim ar na botúin is coitianta agus conas díriú ar fhoirm na teanga i ranganna ábhar. This module will focus on language awareness, reading and writing skills and pedagogical strategies including a focus on supporting learners with special educational needs in Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools. There will be a focus on practices to enhance literacy development in Irish. Biliteracy development and bilingual assessment will be explored. Students will develop a knowledge of specific linguistic aspects of Irish, eg. grammar, phonics and spelling. There will be a focus on language awareness. They will develop an understanding of an inductive approach to the teaching of grammar to meet the challenge of grammatical inaccuracy in immersion schools.
