Short Description

I teach Irish Language and Literacy, immersion education, Irish Medium Education and numeracy on BEd courses in the college as well as Irish Language and Literature on both BEd and LA courses. In terms of post-graduate studies, I supervise students undertaking master’s level dissertations in Education Studies. In conjunction with QUB and Ulster, I coordinate the Irish Language enhancement course to complement the post-primary PGCE courses offered in the schools of education in those two institutions.

Current Research

I am interested in the following areas:

• Modern Irish Literature;
• folklore and the Irish song tradition;
• the teaching of the grammar of Irish in immersion contexts;
• dialectology;
• onomastics;
• second language acquisition;
• interlanguage;
• immersion education pedagogy; and
• bilingual education.
