Learning Outcomes
| The course aims to build on the work of Gaelic 1A, and to prepare students for Celtic Honours work, by (1) extending students' experience in and understanding of the Scottish Gaelic literature of the last three centuries through reading and discussion of Gaelic prose and verse texts, thus introducing students at first-hand to the works of some of the most important Gaelic poets, and to a wide variety of Gaelic prose styles; (2) 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; and (3) providing 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.
