Is é sprioc an mhodúil seo taithí na scoláirí ar an réim acadúil den teanga a fhairsingiú agus a gcuid scileanna anailíse a dhoimhniú trí chleachtaí léirmheastóireachta. Pléifear na hacmhainní leictreonacha Gaeilge is tábhachtaí le haghaidh an taighde agus le haghaidh na scríbhneoireachta, foghlaimeofar faoin gcaighdeán oifigiúil scríbhneoireachta agus faoi ghnéithe de mhórchanúintí na teanga. Déanfar cleachtadh ar scileanna taighde ar nós léirmheas a scríobh agus cur i láthair a dhéanamh ar ábhar acadúil.

Ní cheadófar úsáid na hintleachta saorga giniúnaí (generative artificial intelligence) le haghaidh aon phíosa measúnaithe sa mhodúl seo, ach beidh cead ag na scoláirí úsáid a bhaint as uirlisí eagarthóireachta atá bunaithe ar an intleacht shaorga níos ginearálta, m.s. seiceálaithe litrithe, sa mheasúnú a dhéanfar sa bhaile. Leagfar an-bhéim sa mhodúl seo ar thábhacht na smaointeoireachta criticiúla, scileanna anailíse, scileanna léirmheastóireachta agus scileanna argóna agus bhainfeadh úsáid na hintleachta saorga de na deiseanna a bheadh ag na scoláirí na scileanna sin a fhorbairt.

Féadfaidh an Comhordaitheoir comhrá a iarraidh ar aon scoláire chun a dtuiscint ar an obair atá curtha isteach acu, agus scileanna/coincheapa ábhartha, a scrúdú, agus is féidir go mbeidh tionchar ag an gcomhrá sin ar an ngrád a bhronnfar ar an obair.

About this Module

Learning Outcomes:

Tar éis dóibh an modúl seo a chríochnú, ba cheart go mbeadh na mic léinn in ann:
a) úsáid éifeachtach a bhaint as na hacmhainní leictreonacha Gaeilge is tábhachtaí chun dul i ngleic le tascanna scríbhneoireachta agus léitheoireachta agus chun taighde a dhéanamh sa Nua-Ghaeilge;
b) tras-scríobh a dhéanamh ar chaint sna trí mhórchanúint de réir nósanna sainithe tras-scríbhneoireachta;
c) léirmheas cruinn cuimsitheach a scríobh ar leabhar iomlán i nGaeilge;
d) ábhar a thaighde agus a chur i láthair go héifeachtach agus le súil ar an inrochtaineacht.

On completion of this module, students should be able to:
a) use effectively the most important electronic resources in Irish in order to tackle writing and reading tasks and research in the field of Modern Irish;
b) transcribe, according to specified conventions, speech from the three major dialects;
c) compose a well-written, comprehensive review of a full book in Irish;
d) research a subject and present findings in an effective and accessible way.

Indicative Module Content:

+ Réim Acadúil na Gaeilge | The academic register in Irish
+ Áiseanna leictreonacha teanga | Electronic language resources
+ Caighdeán Oifigiúil na Gaeilge | The Official Language Standard
+ Mórchanúintí na Gaeilge | The major dialects of Irish
+ Scileanna tras-scríbhneoireachta | Transcription skills
+ Scileanna léirmheastóireachta | Reviewing skills
+ Scileanna cur i láthair | Presentation skills
+ Scileanna léitheoireachta | Reading skills

1. Foghlaimeoidh na mic léinn conas foclóirí leictreonacha teanga (teanglann.ie, focloir.ie, tearma.ie) a úsáid go héifeachtach chun cabhrú leo téacsanna a thuiscint agus a scríobh iad féin.

2. Déanfaidh na mic léinn staidéar ar na trí mhórchanúint thraidisiúnta (Canúint Uladh, Canúint Chonnacht agus Canúint na Mumhan), déanfaidh siad cleachtaí ar an tras-scríobh agus ansin tabharfaidh siad faoin tras-scríobh don mheasúnú.

3. Foghlaimeoidh gach mac léinn faoi scileanna léirmheastóireachta, foghlaimeoidh siad stór focal a bhaineann leis na seánraí éagsúla a bheidh faoi chaibidil agus scríobhfaidh siad léirmheas ar théacs fada i nGaeilge. Pléifear an léirmheastóireacht go mion sna léachtaí roimh an spriocdháta agus cuirfear oiliúint ar na mic léinn maidir leis an gcóras tagartha.

4. Forbróidh na mic léinn scileanna cur i láthair, déanfaidh siad cleachtadh ar an bhfoghraíocht chruinn agus déanfar plé ar an dearadh éifeachtach don chur i láthair. Déanfaidh gach mac léinn cur i láthair ansin i bhfoirm réamhthaifeadta.

1. Cur i láthair: Gheobhaidh an scoláire an rúibric a úsáidfear chun gráid a chur ar an gcur i láthair roimh dóibh tabhairt faoin ullmhúchán. Ceartófar an cur i láthair leis an rúibric sin agus cuirfear aiseolas pearsanta ar fáil don scoláire trí Brightspace. 2. Tras-scríobh: Déanfaidh an scoláire 3 thras-scríobh nach gcuirfear gráid orthu (Tras-scríobh A, Tras-scríobh B, Tras-scríobh C) roimh dóibh tabhairt faoin tras-scríobh don mheasúnú agus gheobhaidh an scoláire leagan iomlán den script mar aiseolas tar éis na n-iarrachtaí sin go léir le gur féidir leo iad a chur i gcomparáid leis an obair a rinne siad féin agus féinmheasúnú a dhéanamh. I gcás an tras-scríbh don mheasúnú, úsáidfear rúibric chun an obair a cheartú agus cuirfear an script iomlán ar fáil don scoláire trí Brightspace mar aiseolas. Feicfidh na scoláirí an rúibric roimh ré. 3. Léirmheas: Gheobhaidh an scoláire an rúibric a úsáidfear chun gráid a chur ar an léirmheas roimh dóibh tabhairt faoin léirmheas. Beidh an deis ag gach scoláire dhá léirmheas scríofa a chur isteach agus aiseolas a fháil orthu sula gcuireann siad isteach an léirmheas ar fiú 40% den ghrád iomlán é. Ceartófar an léirmheas ar Brightspace leis an rúibric agus cuirfear aiseolas pearsanta ar fáil don scoláire trí Brightspace.
