Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Basic pronunciation and intonation of Irish, particularly regarding the association of written Irish with the appropriate sound are the focus of this course. To this end, simple texts are used for practice. Dialects will also be discussed once the basics are clear. This course is suitable for all levels. It is highly recommended that students who are learning Irish for the first time attend the course "Neuirisch - Basiswissen" in order to learn a bit about the basic structure of the language.
The goal of this course is to improve listening and oral skills for spoken Irish.

Method: interactive - The students are expected to practise at home. In some cases recordings will be made available for this purpose.

Assessment and permitted materials

Attendance, general participation , continuous small checks of material learned, also orally.
Notes will be taken throughout the course and towards the end of the semester, students will be asked to read a text to me.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

No previous knowledge of Irish is absolutely necessary for this course. However, if you have no previous knowledge, it is expected that you attend the basic lecture running parallel to the tutorial on Irish (Course No. 160200). The course on pronunciation and dialects is no use without at least a little knowledge of the structures of Irish. Interest in languages and linguistics would also help.

Examination topics

The students are expected to actively participate during the tutorial and also to practise at home. Texts and recordings will be made available on Moodle. In some cases recordings will be made available for this purpose.

Reading list

I recommend, that every student has a dictionary (e.g. Foclóir Póca, Publ. An Gúm - will be ordered together at the beginning of the course). There are alternatives in the internet (focloir.ie) but they often give the student too much information. Working with small compact dictionary is generally easier.
