Tionól Teagaisc teaching conference
November 1, 2011
Up to 500 Irish language teachers are expected to attend a two day conference on Irish language teaching in NUI Maynooth on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th of November.
The conference has been organised by support network for Irish language teachers, An tSeirbhís Tacaíochta Dara Leibhéal don Ghaeilge, and the substantial changes to the assessment of the Irish language at Leaving Certificate level will be one of the main issues to be discussed at the event.
The conference will open on Friday 11th November and over 30 practical workshops will be given by teachers in what is expected to be the largest ever gathering of second-level Irish language teachers.
The workshops will cover new improvements in teaching as diverse as such as the use of ipads in the classroom to literacy issues.
