Beginning Irish I

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course offers an introduction to the modern Irish language. Each class will focus on the acquisition of the following language skills: Aural comprehension, oral comprehension, writing and grammar. A portion of each class will address specific traits of Irish culture in relation to the Irish language. This course places a keen emphasis on developing a proficiency in speaking. Consequently, drills, pair work and group activities will be a central activity. Students, therefore, are expected to participate in discussion groups and engage fully in role-play exercises and in all classroom activities. You are encouraged to contact me with all questions/difficulties. This three-credit course will count towards the Minors in Irish Language and Literature, and Irish Studies.
