Gaeilge

Introduction

Tugtar aird faoi leith sa siollabas seo go mbeadh leanúnachas ó shiollabas na Sraithe Sóisearaí chun go bhféadfaí gach a bhfuil sealbhaithe ag na daltaí a leathnú, a dhoimhniú agus a bhuanú. Tá sé tábhachtach freisin cumas na ndaltaí a fhorbairt i dtreo is go mbeidh gach scil teanga (éisteacht, labhairt, léamh, scríobh) acu de réir a n-acmhainne. Go dtabharfaí aitheantas sa teagasc agus sa mheasúnú do na scileanna sin. Déantar gach iarracht meon dearfach i leith na teanga a chothú sna daltaí. Is í an Ghaeilge sprioctheanga an ranga agus tugtar gach deis do na daltaí an teanga a labhairt ar bhonn rialta.

The syllabus at both Higher and Ordinary Level is a continuation of the topics studied for the Junior Certificate and aims to develop the students’ language skills and to nurture in them a respect and a positive attitude towards the Irish language. Irish is the target language in all classes and pupils are given every opportunity to speak it on a regular basis.

Tá ceithre chuid i scrúdú na hArdteistiméireachta: béaltriail, páipéar I –  triail chluastuisceana & aiste, páipéar II – léamhthuiscintí & litríocht

There are four components to the Leaving Certificate Examination: an oral exam, Paper I -  a listening comprehension & an essay, Paper II – reading comprehensions and literature questions.

Sa chúrsa Ardteistiméireachta déantar staidéar ar chúig mhór théamaí:         

The course for Leaving Certificate Irish covers five main themes:                              

·       An scoláire agus a thimpeallacht: The student and their environment

·       Saol an duine óg: The young person’s life

·       An Ghaeilge: Irish

·       Saol na scoile/ na hoibre: school life / work life

·       Na meáin chumarsáide: the media

·       Aon rud eile a chuireann an dalta suim ann: anything else that interests the student
