Born in Ullapool, I was educated through Gaelic Medium, winning the Ullapool Fluent Gaelic Prize 2016, gaining Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award 2018 and a 200-hour volunteer Saltire Award, working with the museum to translate and discuss historical Gaelic texts.
Within my Master’s degree in Education and Gaelic at the University of Edinburgh, I have studied Gaelic language modules extensively: Linguistics and the Gaelic Language; Gaelic 1B, Gaelic 2B; The Celtic Languages (Gaelic revitalization), but I have also studied it with reference to education: Theory and Pedagogy with reference to Bilingual Education, Reflecting on Gaelic Medium Education and Education and Gaelic in Scotland. Furthermore, I have completed modules that have granted me an in-depth understanding of education: Education Studies 1a, 1b, 3 and 4 as well as Additional Support for Learning and Cognitive and Social Child Development in Education. Supporting this has been my multiple placements within three different Gaelic schools where I have been given the opportunity to teach Gaelic extensively therefore, I have an in-depth understanding of education processes, theories and pedagogical practices.
Depending on the level of the learner I will vary my teaching style accordingly. I will start by developing the learners Gaelic schema by using the Blooms Taxonomy; I will provide knowledge and understanding followed by the learner analyzing and applying information. I will make use of visual cues such as grammatical structures on my large whiteboard, online resources, PowerPoints and in-text examples. I will also be able to refer the learner to the best resources for developing Gaelic knowledge in his or her free time. My aim is to steadily progress the learner through the stages of fluency towards Intermediate / master level. |
