Beginning Irish (Gaelic) II

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

A second semester of instruction in the Irish Language, this course is a continuation of IRLL 10101 and further develops the students' linguistic ability and knowledge of Irish. Role-play, pair work and group work, written exercise and dialogue are used to expand the students' vocabulary, and cultivate a deeper understanding of the language. Students read basic texts and view a select number of authentic materials including some videos. Students are required to have passed Irish 10101. In addition to satisfying the language requirement of the College, Beginning Irish II satisfies one of the language requirements for the Major/Minor in Irish Language & Literature and the Minor in Irish Studies. This class meets 3 days per week. In lieu of a scheduled 4th class, students work independently on technology-based language/culture projects.
