Gaeilge as a subject has seen significant change. In-line with Junior Cycle Reform the subject is taught with the 8 skills at the core: communicating, working with others, being creative, being numerate, managing information and thinking, staying well, managing myself and being literate. Students are now being taught the language through poetry and literature with the opportunity to create their own personal pieces of work as part of their Junior Cycle grade. The new course aims to strengthen the confidence of students in all aspects of the language (written, aural, oral and reading) and prepare them with the skills for life-long learning independently outside the classroom.
