Gallagher: Only right and proper that EU recognises Irish language
May 24, 2013
A Fianna Fáil MEP is welcoming efforts to support the establishment of an Irish-language version of the official European Parliament website.
Pat ‘The Cope’ Gallagher has said the President of the European Parliament’s position will reverse what he said was “a matter of discrimination” against the Irish language.
The Parliament’s website is currently produced in 22 out of the 23 official EU languages.
Up until now, it has not been translated into the Irish language even though Irish has been an official EU language since 2007.
Mr Gallagher said this is welcome news: “We have our own languange, we have our own culture, and since 1973 all the treaties in the European Union have been made available in Irish.
“Prior to this we could correspond with the institutions in Irish and receive replies in Irish so I think it is only right and proper that our independence, our language, our culture, our heritage is recognised in the European parliament.”

Yeats College now enrolling for Irish summer college
May 24, 2013
Yeats College Galway has this week announced the return of its much sought after Irish language college.
In its fourth year, Colaiste Yeats offers a two-week day course for Junior Certificate, Leaving Certificate, and primary school students.
The first course for Junior and Leaving Certificate students commences on June 17 with a second course commencing on July 1. The course designed for fifth and sixth class primary school students also starts on July 1.
Yeats Irish Language College promises to provide a more appropriate course for the current generation of students, covering the Irish course curriculum while also allowing students to have fun through the optional activity modules. The courses have been extensively researched by the college and are modern and relevant, helping students to develop a better understanding of the language through classroom-based learning in the morning and adventure filled activities through Irish in the afternoon.
Principal of Yeats College, Terry Fahy, promises that the course will celebrate and cultivate a love of the Irish language while also thoroughly preparing students for their Leaving and Junior Certificate examinations.
“This course has been carefully researched to ensure that students take away lasting memories and an improved command of the language. The curriculum based classes will give students an excellent head-start for the upcoming school year, and the revision notes will be invaluable come exam time,” he said.
“Both courses are delivered by our qualified Irish language teachers who possess a second-to-none knowledge of the course curriculum. The classroom-based component of the college will cover the key areas of poetry, prose, essay writing, reading, grammar, and listening comprehension. A major emphasis will also be placed on oral exam preparation,” Mr Fahy added.
Students are divided into three groups: pre-Junior Certificate, pre-Leaving Certificate, and primary level for fifth and sixth class primary school students. The primary level course for fifth and sixth class primary students will cover vocabulary, grammar, conversation skills, aural comprehension, and creative writing.
The afternoon activities, through Irish, offer a combination of adrenaline-filled water sports activities coupled with team sports, ceilis, quizzes, and tours. These optional activities will help students to put their language skills to the test in a relaxed and fun environment.
All courses are two weeks in duration, Monday to Friday. The primary school students’ course runs from 9am to 3pm with the other courses running from 9am to 4pm. Yeats College is conveniently located on College Road in Galway city.
For more information on the Irish language college or any of the courses provided at Yeats College go to www.yeatscollege.ie or call 091 533500.

EU4Schools developing citizenship skills, creativity and information on the European Union
May 23, 2013
EU4Schools creates a new opportunity for secondary school students, giving a simple understanding of the European Union and its functions, and an opportunity for teenagers to share their opinions on the European Union.
The interactive website, EU4Schools gives young people the direction to communicate with the European Union. Digital learning is central to the website, providing online resources to both students and teachers to broaden students’ understanding of the European Union, and giving users the chance to utilise their role as European Union citizens.
EU4Schools covers many subjects which help in secondary school in the form of class projects, essays, debates and digital storytelling projects. It is an innovative way of learning, with emphasis put on digital media through podcasts, videos and digital storytelling available in the classroom.
In terms of classroom projects, EU4Schools inspires students’ creativity, independent thinking and use of digital media. The website also provides topics for open student-teacher discussions including citizenship, advocacy and empowerment. It aims to develop students’ skills and experience in a range of real life projects. The website also aims to help students meet their targets, as well as taking part in class debates, blogs, videos and cartoons – with an emphasis on sharing between students and their peer groups.
EU4Schools gives teachers thefreedom to administrate their own programs, on any subject they wish, with access to a range of modules via the website – all of which are related to the school curriculum and participation in the EU.
EU4Schools is the first of its kind, giving us a brand new product, which is very important during the year of the Irish Presidency of the European Union for the first time since 2004, and due to the fact that 2013 is European year of Citizens.
Founded and developed by director, Camilla Fanning, teacher and lecturer on the European Union, along with a national and international web development team, EU4Schools is available both in English and Irish. A trial version is available at www.eu4schools.com for one school term only and a yearly subscription is available by e-mailing subscribe@eu4schools.ie.
