New DVD for Irish language oral exam to be launched

November 1, 2011

All are invited to attend the official launch of the new DVD, Cuireadh Chun Cainte, which will take place during the Oireachtas na Gaeilge festival.  The launch will take place, on Friday 4th November, at 6pm, in Seomra Onóra in the INEC, Killarney.

‘Cuireadh Chun Cainte’ is a practical guide from Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge and Comhar na Múinteoirí Gaeilge, for those who will be undertaking the new Irish Oral for their Leaving Certificate from 2012 on.

The programme gives students and teachers alike, an idea of what to expect in the Irish Oral exam.  Students will be more comfortable preparing for the Oral, once they understand the structure of the exam.   The programme is suitable for students at both Higher and Ordinary Level, as practical advice is given on to how to avoid common pitfalls, and how to undertake effective communication with the examiner.

The package is suitable for students and teachers in Gaeltacht schools, in Gaelscholáistí, and in schools who teach through the medium of English.

The official launch is open to the public and a free copy of the DVD will be presented to all who attend.  Ferdie Mac an Fhailigh, Chief Executive of Foras na Gaeilge, agus Muireann Ní Mhóráin, Chief Executive of An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta will be present as special guests to officially launch the DVD.  Those wishing to attend are asked to register for the event, by contacting Cillian, 01 679 4780, cillian@comhdhail.ie.

‘Cuireadh Chun Cainte’ was funded by An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta, Foras na Gaeilge, and Teacher Professional Networks.
