Gaelic Intermediate Step 2 (Online)

This course is the second step of six progressive steps to complete our intermediate level in Gaelic.

In this course, which is taught in Gaelic, you will learn to express abilities, make and ask for recommendations and speak about obligations.

You will develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in your weekly online classes, held on Zoom, and through further interactive and independent activities, on our learning platform, Canvas.

Class-based activities include speaking, small-group role-plays, listening to dialogues or watching video clips.

Because language learning requires regular practice, you will consolidate your skills with vocabulary, grammar and writing exercises between classes.

You will need access to a computer equipped with a camera and microphone, a headset or earphones and a reliable internet connection. You will be provided with all necessary course materials digitally. 

If you have fully engaged with all the learning activities and have attended regularly, by the end of the course, you should be able to:

• Discuss about skills and abilities
• Speak about obligation
• Give recommendations
• Make hypothesis about the future

The above list is indicative and may be subject to change.  

This course is the second step of our intermediate level and is open to anyone who has completed Gaelic Intermediate Step 1 or equivalent. If you have previously learned Gaelic and are unsure of your level, please self-assess.

We welcome all and are committed to fostering a positive culture and sense of community among learners and staff. We expect learners to treat others with dignity and respect. Learners must be aged 16+.

If you have a disability, learning difficulty, health condition, or personal circumstances which may affect your learning, please let us know so that we can make appropriate adjustments in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.

Wherever possible, we mainstream adjustments in line with the University’s Accessible and Inclusive Learning Policy. Learners will have limited access to the University’s student support services. 

You need to have completed Gaelic Intermediate Step 1 or equivalent. If you are unsure of your level, please self-assess. You will need basic digital skills, such as using a computer and navigating a website to access the course learning platform and your weekly class on Zoom.
