Higher Gàidhlig
At National 5 and Higher level, classes are taught entirely through the medium of Gàidhlig and pupils are encouraged to use it at every given opportunity. Key features of learning and teaching will be:
- Real communication in relevant contexts, supported by ICT
- A continued emphasis on how the language works, including grammar and idiomatic structures
- Development of critical literacy skills and personal, interpersonal and team-working skills
- A range of extra-curricular opportunities to encourage the natural and fluent use of Gàidhlig in a variety of social settings and contexts
Course Information
The Higher Gàidhlig course teaches a range of skills:
- reading, critical reading, listening, talking and writing skills,
- understanding, analysing and evaluating detailed and complex texts in the contexts of literature, language, media and culture
- creating and producing detailed and complex texts
- knowledge and understanding of Gaelic cultural heritage and the cultural heritage of others
Homework
- Pupils complete at least one main piece of homework a week, usually a reading passage or an extended writing activity. They will also regularly work on key language and grammar points.
- In order to meet the necessary standard of fluency at this level, all pupils are expected to extend their use of Gàidhlig beyond the classroom.
- Regular media contact should become a natural habit, and any additional opportunity to speak or use Gàidhlig will ensure that pupils develop confidence and ability when interacting in real contexts/with external partners.
- At all levels, but particularly in the senior phase, pupils are expected to demonstrate a command of grammatical knowledge and a greater breadth of vocabulary. This means that extra time should be taken to revise and consolidate skills taught in class. Pupils should read widely and should access appropriate materials online such as BBC Naidheachdan and Radio nan Gàidheal.
