Minority-language Education in a Situation of Conflict: Irish in English-medium Schools in Northern Ireland - McKendry, Eugene
While Irish-medium education has developed strongly over the last 20 years, most Irish speakers in Northern Ireland learn the language in English-medium schools, which currently provide the majority of teachers in the bilingual Irish-medium sector. This paper discusses the background to Irish in Northern Ireland from the plantation of Ulster to the aftermath of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. The Linguistic Atlas of Ireland and census returns provide demographic data. The position of Irish in the education system must be evaluated in the context of languages provision in the curriculum in general, not only in Northern Ireland, but in the...

Immersion Education - McKendry, Eugene
Immersion education, where learners are educated in whole or in a significant part through a language other than their first language, is now firmly established internationally and in Ireland, North and South, as a successful and effective form of education. It aims to develop a high standard of language competence in the immersion language, but must also, and can, ensure at least a similar level of achievement in the first language as that reached by pupils attending monolingual schools.

Early literacy patterns in Irish-medium schools - Nig Uidhir, Gabrielle; McPolin, Peter
Bailíodh sonraí an tsaothair seo seo le linn tionscnaimh mhóir taighde, a rinneadh i
gcomhar le Muintearas na Gaillimhe, chun An Observation Survey of Early Literacy
Achievement a athfhorbairt i nGaeilge, 2001-2005. Is é an cuspóir a bhí leis an athfhorbairt sin ná tascanna measúnaithe sa luathlitearthacht a ullmhú sa Ghaeilge.
Rinneadh an buntaighde sin i gcomhar le páirtnéirí i dtíortha eile ar mhaith leo áiseanna measúnaithe Marie Clay a bheith ar fáil ag a gcuid múinteoirí - sa Spáinn, sa tSlóvaic agus sa Danmhairg. Cuireadh céimeanna breise le tionscnamh taighde na Gaeilge chun trialacha iontaofachta a dhéanamh, scóir chaghnaonacha a oibriú amach...

Irish-Medium Preschool Education - Irish-Medium Education
In the case of most IM children, the preschool is their first contact with spoken Irish.
It is in the preschool that the children acquire the initial skills of understanding,
listening and speaking which facilitate immersion education at primary level.
The effectiveness of language acquisition relies on a number of factors. Of primary
importance is the standard of Irish of the workers, the teacher:pupil ratio, work
methods, effective language-planning, good practice in curriculum provision and
effective management.
The customary practice within the IM sector of providing two years of preschool
education for children, which has been the norm for over twenty years, is of particular
importance. This practice attracts...
