Gaelic Language in the Primary School (GLPS)
GLPS, or Gaelic Language in the Primary School, offers an introduction to Gaelic for children not being educated through the medium of Gaelic. This course has proved popular with pupils and is delivered by a teacher who has undergone a twenty-week tuition programme. . The course will not result in fluency but will raise awareness of and interest in Gaelic as well as teaching basic phrases.
Learners' courses in the Secondary School
Gaelic language and literature can be studied at two different levels in the secondary school - 'native speakers' (studied by children educated in Gaelic-medium) and 'learners'. Learners' courses, like GLPS tuition, will not result in full fluency but will raise awareness of and interest in Gaelic and provide a platform upon which children can build once they leave school.
