Leagan Gaeilge: Beartas Oideachais

Is léir do Chonradh na Gaeilge go bhfuil an Roinn Oideachais agus Eolaíochta ó dheas ag teipeadh ar an nGaeilge agus nach bhfuil an Roinn ag dul i ngleic leis na fadhbanna a bhaineann le múineadh agus foghlaim na Gaeilge inár scoileanna i gceart. Cé go bhfailtíonn muid roimh an aitheantas breise a tugadh don scrúdú labhartha Gaeilge, caithfidh baint a bheith ag aon leasú le modheolaíocht iomlanaíoch. Molann an Conradh gur chóir go múinfí gach ábhar oide trí Ghaeilge i dtimpeallacht lán-Ghaeilge, ag foghlaim tríd an tumoideachas agus faoin tumoideachas, ar feadh tréimhse bliana acadúla le linn a gcúrsa oiliúna........

English language version: Education policy

It is obvious to Conradh na Gaeilge that the Department of Education and Science in the south is failing to address the problems in our schools regarding the teaching and the learning of the Irish language. While we welcome the extra emphasis given to the Irish oral examination, any further reforms need to deal with a more complete, holistic methodology. Conradh na Gaeilge recommends that all trainee teachers should be taught through Irish in an all-Irish environment, learning through and about immersion education in Irish, for the equivalent of one academic year of their training course.......

I like the idea of teaching one subject in addition to Irish through the medium of Irish...particularly things that students tend to really get enthusiastic about (as the article suggests, art or PE or something like that, depending on the student's interest).

I have always believed that this is by far the best way to introduce Irish more effectively . In other words, treat Irish as a language not just a subject. There shouldn't be a primary school teacher here without the level of Irish necessary to do this. Unfortunately many don't really speak it other than to teach it and so do not have the confidence to carry this off. The primary school teacher training courses need to put a much greater emphasis on Irish.

oops, sorry i did click , was late last night, only seemed to pick up on the GCSE part and reference to the north.

why do just one other subject in Irish, why also not trial doing a few subjects in Irish, maybe half the day.
If it shows results, perhaps down the road you could trial doing a third the school time in English, a third in Irish and a third in another language.

Would like to see some trials on language nests for preschooler, where they learn to socialise through a language.
by the time they reach school they already socalise through only English. Even Gaelscoil students command on the lanaguge is often no where near what it should be as most socalise almost exclusively in English.

Think some teachers could really do with some more training on how to promote the use of Irish. Ive seen teachers in Irish speaking schools who use Irish for addressing the crowed, but then when speaking to a couple of student on non school related topics they switch to English.
