Cad é?What is it? Níl Béarla ag an múinteoir! Entire curriculum through Irish Delaying the teaching of English Reading first in Irish Immersion vs. submersion

Cúiseanna imní…Concerns… What about their English? Myths: The greater one’s competence in a second language, the lesser one’s ability in the first language Children for whom English is not their home language will not gain fluency in English Research evidence: Increased metalinguistic awareness Higher achievement in both English and maths than their peers in English-medium schools

Cúiseanna imní…Concerns… Won’t they be confused? Myths: Children won’t understand the teacher The ability to speak two languages restricts a person’s ability to think effectively Research evidence: Teachers are amazing! Greater cognitive flexibility or divergent thinking Increased attentional control Enhanced executive control Delays the onset of Alzheimer's by 4 years

Cúiseanna imní…Concerns… Will it be too academic? Myth: Not suitable for children with special educational needs Research and Practice: The same supports are made available to children in Irish-medium schools Children with SEN enjoy the same benefits of bilingual education Bilingual education ‘does no harm and clearly does contribute to social, emotional and interpersonal growth’ - NCSE Report, 2011

Cúiseanna imní…Concerns… Will I be able to help? Myth: You need fluent Irish as a parent Research and Practice: 95% of parents whose children attend Irish-medium schools outside Gaeltacht areas don’t have fluent Irish Homework reinforces classroom learning Positive attitude of parent reinforces child’s learning

Na buntáistíThe advantages Cognitive Communicative Self-esteem Academic Cultural Economic “Will my child’s thinking be affected by being bilingual?” The answer is “yes”, and probably for the better. The presence of two languages in the operating system of the brain is likely to produce a more richly-fed thinking engine. (Baker, 2000)
