Comhairle na Gaelscolaíochta Conference 2024
Over 200 delegates attended the Comhairle na Gaelscolaíochta (CnaG) Conference on 20 September, in St Mary’s University College, Belfast.
According to CnaG:
“The Conference, entitled Eochair Feasa Foghlaim was a hugely successful event which provided a series of TPL workshops for IM practitioners during the morning session, on a wide range of topics including; accuracy & grammar in Irish; CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and the Language Framework for IM Primary Schools. Also during the morning session, a series of innovative booklets was launched, commissioned by CnaG and written by Dr Gearóid Ó Domagáin, University of Ulster, entitled Self-assessment and self-learning; language development resources for immersion practitioners. In the afternoon of the Conference, a significant research report was launched, again commissioned by CnaG, on core competencies in Irish-medium education, written by Dr T.J Ó Ceallaigh, University of Cork and Dr Gabrielle Nig Uidhir, St Mary’s University College. The launch was chaired by Pat Sheehan, MLA, vice-chairman of the Assembly Education Committee.”
