Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| The course aims to build on and extend the work of Gaelic 1A/1B, and to prepare students for Honours work in Celtic, by providing (1) a detailed introduction to the history of Gaelic Scotland and the Scottish Gaelic language, and to the analysis of the contemporary varieties of Gaelic, its variation, sociolinguistic position, and future prospects; (2) an introduction to a range of modern and medieval Scottish and Irish prose texts; (3) an introduction to the Scottish Gaelic verse of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; and (4) increasing familiarity with, and powers of expression in, Scottish Gaelic by means of regular language work, thus leading students towards a sound competence in speaking, reading and writing Scottish Gaelic. |
