About this Module

Learning Outcomes:

Tar éis do mhic léinn an modúl seo a chríochnú:

1. Beidh siad in ann iad féin a chur in iúl go muiníneach agus go cumasach sa Ghaeilge, idir labhairt agus scríobh.

2. Beidh tuiscint mhaith acu ar ghnéithe éagsúla de ghramadach na Gaeilge, na gnéithe seo a leanas go speisialta:
(a) na tuisil éagsúla den ainmfhocal, cathain a bhíonn siad in úsáid, agus conas an t-ainmfhocal a chur in oiriúint dóibh ar fad;
(b) na haimsirí agus na modhanna éagsúla den bhriathar;
agus beidh siad in ann na rialacha gramadaí sin a chur i bhfeidhm agus iad ag obair go neamhspleách.

3. Beidh siad in ann dul i ngleic le téacsanna Gaeilge de chineálacha éagsúla; beidh siad ina ann ábhair na dtéacsanna sin a phlé agus dul i mbun díospóireachta ar na téamaí sna téacsanna sin.

4. Beidh cur amach acu ar acmhainní agus áiseanna teanga a bhíonn ar fáil don mhac léinn Gaeilge agus beidh siad in ann an leas is fearr is féidir a bhaint astu.



Indicative Module Content:

- Obair phraiticiúil dírithe ar ghramadach na Gaeilge a fhoghlaim;
- Scileanna scríofa, éisteachta agus labhartha a fhorbairt agus a thabhairt go barr feabhais.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
Cur chuige:
Léachtaí ina ndírítear ar chúrsaí gramadaí ar leith (an t-ainmfhocal agus rialacha an ailt, an briathar, an t-ainmfhocal sa tuiseal ginideach);
Cleachtaí praiticiúla le déanamh ag éirí as na léachtaí;
Tástálacha ina dtástáiltear na pointí teanga céanna;
Ranganna comhrá.

[Fágann sé sin nach féidir 'generative AI' a úsáid le hábhar a chruthú i gcás an mhodúil seo. Ar ndóigh, níl aon bhac ar fhoclóirí leictreonacha, srl., a úsáid sa bhaile; ní ceadmhach iad a úsáid i scrúduithe].
