Is this course for me?
The programme is aimed at teachers practising in
the primary sector who wish to extend their
theoretical knowledge in the area of language in
light of new curriculum specifications (e.g. the
Aistear Framework and the Literacy and Numeracy
Strategy). Furthermore, it is aimed at language
teachers at post-primary level involved with
proposed curriculum specifications for English, Irish
and Modern Foreign Languages. Individuals
engaged in policy and planning in education and
language, in Ireland and abroad, will also be
interested in the course, as will graduates in the
areas of education, language, and linguistics.
