This course has been designed to comfortably introduce students into the literary and oral aspect of the senior cycle. In this course, our students are provided with excellent material for three poems and prose pieces while also providing an introduction to marking schemes and what these mean for students of higher level Irish. Following on from this, we will provide essay material on the student’s immediate environment (sport and problems in a young people’s lives) and demonstrate how to structure an essay. We will then start the oral topics by again focusing in on the immediate environment of young people (family, area, and school). Finishing off our week, we will demonstrate how best to tackle the aural comprehension and provide some revision on the sentence structure of Irish. By the end of our course, our students will feel comfortable entering the senior cycle.
