Teaching Interests

 

Is iad na sainréimsí taighde agus teagaisc atá agam ná nuafhilíocht na Gaeilge; prós comhaimseartha na Gaeilge; an t-aistriúchán liteartha; an teangeolaíocht fheidhmeach. Ina theannta sin, tá suim mhór agam i modheolaíochtaí teagaisc ar líne agus tá taighde nuálach déanta agam i réimse an teagaisc ríomhchuidithe teangacha. Tá torthaí an taighde sin i gcló.

Ghlac mé ról ceannaireachta i bhforbairt agus i gcur i bhfeidhm an tSiollabais Nua i gColáiste Phádraig. Chomh maith leis sin, thacaigh mé le comhghleacaithe i gColáiste Mhuire gan Smál, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad agus in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh, san obair seo.


 
My main teaching interests include contemporary Irish prose and poetry, literary translation and applied linguistics. I also have an interest in computer assisted language learning and I have played a major role in the development and implementation of the new Irish-language syllabus for third level.
