Múineadh na Gramadaí sa Seomra Ranga
Course Overview
This course will help teachers in the senior classes tackle all things ‘múineadh na gramadaí’ in the classroom. It will focus on what to teach and when, and explore the place of grammar within the PLC. It will provide participants with an overview of individual short and long term planning for teaching Irish grammar and also explore the role whole school planning can play.
The course will look at how to structure a grammar lesson, and delve into many of the grammar topics that present in the classroom with a variety of teaching ideas that are child-centred, fun and practical. Participants will investigate a range of resources to assist the teaching of Irish grammar and also come away with a goodie-bag of Is Múinteoir Mé grammar resources. *This course does not focus on developing your own understanding of grammatical rules, but rather how to teach them in the classroom.Learning outcomes
