Overview
This course builds on Gaelic language classes at Level 1 and Level 2 and complements other language options available at Levels 3 and 4. The course runs all year. Students will attend 1 one-hour seminar per fortnight. This seminar will provide vocabulary for specific linguistic domains, set writing tasks and discuss students' performance in their writing tasks. Students will be required to undertake a directed programme of writing tasks and submit exercises on a fortnightly basis.
This is a course for native speakers, who are all learning at individual rates and who all have distinctive needs and weaknesses in their language. The needs and knowledge of each individual student is addressed by the lecturer, and the course is tailored individually.
Structure
1 one-hour seminar per fortnight.
Assessment
1st Attempt: Level 3: Continuous assessment (100%); four 1,000 word exercises.
Resit: 1 three-hour examination (100%).
Formative Assessment
Assessment is both formative and summative simultaneously, as it is drawn from a folio of work.
Feedback
The course is based around the concept of using feedback as the main teaching tool. Students submit work which is closely marked by the teacher. Classes take the form of supervision sessions in which marked work is closely examined by student and teacher.
