Cad is tumoideachas ann? What is Immersion education?
|
Ciallaíonn an tumoideachas córas ina mhúintear gach ábhar trí theanga shonraithe amháin. I gcás na scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge is í an Ghaeilge teanga thumtha an chórais. Is í an Ghaeilge meán cumarsáide agus teagasc na scoile.
Is ionann an Ghaeilge agus teanga oibre na scoile. Leanann daltaí i scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge an gnáth-churaclaim scoile mar atá leagtha síos ag an Roinn Oideachas agus Scileanna ó dheas nó an Roinn Oideachais ó thuaidh. Baintear amach líofacht iomlán sa Bhéarla agus sa Ghaeilge tríd an chóras seo. Tá múnlaí éagsúla den tumoideachas á gcleachtadh go hidirnáisiúnta. Faoi láthair tá múnlaí chomhchosúla den tumoideachas á gcleachtadh sna scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge, bunaithe ar an dea-chleachtas idirnáisiúnta. |
In the immersion education model pupils learn all subjects through the medium of a designated language. In Irish-medium schools, Irish is the language through which all subjects are taught and all communication is conducted.
Irish becomes the working language of the school. Pupils attending an Irish-medium school follow the standard curriculum as laid out by the Department of Education and Skills in the south or the Department of Education in the north. Through the immersion system, pupils achieve a high level of fluency in both English and Irish. Various models of immersion education are practiced internationally. Similar models, based on international best-practice are practiced in Irish-medium schools. |
