Scrúdóidh na mic léinn teanga na Gaeilge i gcomhthéacs leathan na teangeolaíochta. Foghlaimeoidh siad faoi cheisteanna móra a bhíonn ag teangeolaithe a dhéanann taighde ar an nGaeilge, agus tiocfaidh siad i dtaithí ar chomparáid a dhéanamh idir an nGaeilge agus teangacha eile an domhain. Moltar go mbeidh cur amach áirithe ag an mac léinn ar bhunchoincheapa na teangeolaíochta roimh thosnú sa mhodúl seo.

Ní cheadaítear úsáid na hIntleachta Saorga Giniúnaí (Generative Artifical Intelligence) i gcomhair aon phíosa de chuid mheasúnú an mhodúil seo, cé go bhfuil cead ag mic léinn úsáid a bhaint as uirlisí eagarthóireachta (amhail spell- nó grammar-checkers) atá bunaithe ar an Intleacht Shaorga níos ginearálta. Tá an-tábhacht ag baint le forbairt na smaointeoireachta criticiúla agus scileanna um struchturú argóintí/anailíse i gcomhthéacs na teangeolaíochta sa mhodúl, rud a bhíonn lárnach don scrúdú, agus goideann úsáid na hISGin croí-dheiseanna lárnacha uimpi sin ón mhac léinn. Is féidir go n-iarrfaidh an comhordaitheoir comhrá leis an mac léinn chun a gcur amach ar an obair atá curtha isteach acu, agus scileanna/coincheapa ábhartha, a scrúdú, agus is féidir go mbeidh tionchar aige seo ar an ngrád a mbronnfar ar an obair.

About this Module

Learning Outcomes:

Ag deireadh an mhodúil, má théann siad i ngleic leis na léachtaí, plé sa rang, an léitheoireacht, agus an measúnu, beidh na mic léinn in ann:

1. Smaointeoireacht chriticiúil theangeolaíoch i leith na Gaeilge a chur in iúl.

2. Sonraí a bhailiú chun comparáid chórasach a dhéanamh idir chanúintí na Gaeilge, agus idir an Ghaeilge is teangacha eile.

3. Dul i ngleic le hanailís agus litríocht teangeolaíochta ar bhonn neamhspleách chun a gcuid eolais/tuisceana a fheabhsú.

Indicative Module Content:

Is féidir go leasófar ábhair bheachta na seachtainí le linn an trimeastair, ach seo thíos a chlúdófar sa mhodúl:

Seachtain 1 - Plé maidir leis an eolas teangeolaíochta atá ag baill an mhodúil cheana féin
Seachtainí 2-4 - Cúrsaí fuaime (an fhoghraíocht, an fhóineolaíocht) agus taighde/scoláireacht ábhartha
Seachtainí 5-7 - Cúrsaí morfachomhréire (an mhoirfeolaíocht, an chomhréir) agus taighde/scoláireacht ábhartha
Seachtainí 9-11 - Cúrsaí na sochaí (an tsochtheangeolaíocht, an éagsúlacht, an idé-eolaíocht) agus taighde/scoláireacht ábhartha
Seachtain 12 - Plé ranga maidir leis na haistí a bheifear tar éis dréachtú
