Hibernia Irish Interview - One-day Intensive Prep Course
Description
This course is aimed at those who will be doing the Irish language interview for the Professional Masters in Education (Primary). The course focuses on the main topics of conversation that arise in the interview and participants are given an opportunity to improve their speaking skills and add to their vocabulary.
• start their interview well – this will put the interviewee at their ease and impress the interviewers;
• use verbs correctly;
• give comprehensive answers, at a high standard, to questions which are frequently posed in the oral exam;
• give grammatically correct answers;
• read written passages accurately;
• make use of the wide range of online facilities now available through Irish.
The course is suitable for those who have studied Irish at school, perhaps a good number of years ago, who understand a great deal of the language, but have had few opportunities to use it in recent years. Although the emphasis is on developing speaking and listening skills, students also have the opportunity to read and write the language. Grammar is taught in context, as it is required.
Participants will also have access to an online course on Gaelchultúr's e-learning website, ranganna.com. Click here to try that course for free.

Our teaching approach
Gaelchultúr has developed comprehensive syllabuses and every class at every level follows these syllabuses.
The communicative approach to language teaching is used by Gaelchultúr’s teachers, giving learners the opportunity to play an active part in each class.
A strong emphasis is placed on group and pair work and learners therefore have a chance to practise what they’ve been taught. The main focus is on speaking and listening in all classes (with the exception of Cruinneas sa Ghaeilge), but reading and writing activities also feature.
