A comparison of Irish language and European languages teaching methodologies

aishlingmc

As part of my final year in college, I am required to undertake a dissertation which will be submitted in January 2018. I am hoping to compare the differences/similarities in the way in which the Irish language and the European languages (French, German or Spanish only) are taught in the classroom in second-level schools in Ireland. The aims of this study are to see what are the perceptions of teachers regarding student’s attitudes towards certain methodologies, to find out what method is most commonly used in the language classroom and to establish teachers concerns on their current approaches in language teaching. I am seeking, as part of my research the opinions and first-hand experience of the teachers currently working in the post-primary section. I would greatly appreciate if you could take the time to fill out this short questionnaire.

Hi Aisling, I don't see a link to a questionnaire ?
