Múinfear an dianchúrsa Gaeilge ag ceardlanna idirghníomhacha leis an mbéim ar an gcomhfhoghlaim le piaraí. Cuirfear pacáiste teagaisc agus foghlama ar fáil mar lámhleabhar do na teagascóirí agus do na mic léinn. Beidh míreanna nuachta, ábhar ó irisí, ón raidió agus ón teilifís, ábhar fógraíochta; ábhar ón ngréasán agus ó na meáin shóisialta san acmhainn sin. Díreofar i ngníomhaíochtaí an mhodúil ar an gcaighdeán teanga B2 (CEFR) toisc go bhfuil an bunchaighdeán seo mar réamhriachtanas chun a bheith ar an liosta earcaíochta Gaeilge san earnáil phoiblí in Éirinn. Tabharfar aird ar straitéis na hOllscoile maidir leis an deachleachtas sa teagasc, san fhoghlaim agus sa mheasúnú. Beidh cur chuige foghlama fadhb-bhunaithe i gceist sna gníomhaíochtaí a bhaineann leis an leabhrán eolais ar shainábhar a dhearadh. Cuirfear acmhainní tacaíochta eile ar fáil ar BrightSpace. Is ar BrightSpace a sholáthrófar aiseolas ar an dul chun cinn a dhéanann mic léinn. Molfar do mhic léinn gach deis a thapú chun páirt a ghlacadh i dtograí a bhaineann leis an nGaeilge lasmuigh den tseomra ranga chomh maith. Díreofar ar ghníomhaíochtaí teagaisc agus foghlama a chur in oiriúint don soláthar cianfhoghlama mar chuid den bhundearadh ábhar. [Translation for internal use only] Key generic and transferable skills in this module are using appropriate language register; cultural awareness; oral and written communication; document use; working with others; project management skills; and continuous learning. These are core competencies and skills that will be of use to students in their future professional and personal lives. This intensive Irish language course will be taught through a workshop format which will emphasize opportunities for learning in collaboration with peers. A teaching and learning resource pack, at B2 (CEFR) standard will be made available to teaching staff and students. This is the language standard needed to meet the Irish language requirement of the Public Service. Resources will include materials from magazines and journals, promotional literature; websites, social media; news items, radio and television. The approach to teaching, learning and assessment is informed by Institutional strategy at UL. A problem-based learning approach will be used to explore some of the topics. Formative and summative feedback will be provided using BrightSpace tools. Engagement with initiatives relating to Irish beyond the classroom will be strongly encouraged. In the materials design stage before the launch of the MicroCred, consideration will be given to the adaptation of face-to-face T&L activities for delivery by distance also. The curriculum design of this module fulfils the UL Graduate Attributes as follows:   • Curious: learners will be problem-solvers and willing to explore with others how best to apply their newly acquired knowledge in the professional context • Agile: learners will be open-minded and responsive to new ideas and approaches to applying their new knowledge and skills beyond the classroom. • Responsible: learners will be aware of the cultural dimension to language and will work to create environments that value linguistic and cultural diversity.   • Articulate: learners on this MicroCredential will develop written and oral skills through active engagement in group discussions, presentations, engagement with research literature and case-studies.
