NOTES FOR TEACHERS/LECTURERS
Notes for teachers/lecturers
This unit will develop students’ linguistic skills in the context of a holiday in
Edinburgh. It dovetails into the nominated theme of holidays. A similar unit is
available at Higher level to enable Intermediate 2 and Higher students to be
organised as one teaching group, utilising a differe ntiated approach. The
completion of this unit will contribute towards preparing students for both
internal and course assessments.
There is no single teaching style that suits everyone. However, learning will be
more effective if this unit is delivered with direct teaching inputs addressing
new vocabulary and grammatical structures. These inputs will include
consolidating vocabulary and grammar that permeate from a previous stage.
Many of the activities within this unit may be accessed by students, wit h the
assistance of a dictionary, independent of a teacher/lecturer. These activities
will afford teachers/lecturers an opportunity to direct the work of another group
of students. A learning situation of this nature will be enhanced by allocating
time at the beginning of the course, and sometimes a lesson, to informing
students of outcomes, processes and tasks to be undertaken. This will encourage
students to be responsible for their own learning.
Writing is an optional element at Intermediate 2 level. The writing activities
included within this unit will prepare students for the assessment requirements.
Students who are not being formally assessed in writing may also complete
these activities. This will reinforce other linguistic skills and be a pre paration
for studying Gaelic at Higher level.
Once activities have been successfully completed and checked by the
teacher/lecturer, they should be recorded on individual Evidence Requirements
forms. This allows both students and the teacher/lecturer to m onitor
progression. Integrated with this is providing students with regular feedback
about their work, highlighting positive achievements and areas that require to be
improved. An example of an Evidence Requirements form is included. It would
be useful to issue each student with a copy. Completion of this form should be
the shared responsibility of student and teacher/lecturer.
Advice on learning and teaching styles may be accessed in the Subject Guide for
Gaelic (Learners).
Evidence requirements
The following activities cover the Outcomes at Intermediate 2 as follows, as
long as all the Performance Criteria have been met.

An Latha Mòr
Leughadh
Disathairne
Cha d’ fhuair mi mòran cadail oidhche Haoine le fuaimean a’ bhaile mhòir
agus fuaim na daoine a muigh. Tha flat Iain gu math faisg air an taigh cluiche agus air taighean-òsta agus bha tòrr fhuaim ann eadar aon uair deug
agus meahdan-oidhche.
Dh’èirich sinn tràth agus chaidh sinn don bhaile. Cha do cheannaich sinn
mòran. Bha an t-aodach a chunnaic sinn ann am bùth Jenners cho fasanta
agus spaideil, ach bha e glè dhaor!
Dh’fhuirich Iain bochd còmhla rinn fad na maidne. Cheannaich sinn gibhtean
do ar pàrantan agus chaidh sinn gu Taigh Bidh Eadailteach airson ar biadh.
Fhuair sinn dineir glè bhlasta!
Ghabh sinn bus air ais gu flat Iain agus chòimhead sinn geama ball -coise air
an telebhisean. Cha toil leamsa ball coise idir ach, is toil le Catrìona e!
Mu shia uairean dh’fhàg sinn airson Pàirc Murrayfield. Bha tòrr dhaoine an
sin. Agus aig leth uair an deidh sia, dh’fhosgail na dorsan agus chaidh a h uile duine a steach. Thòisich Coldplay a’ cluich aig ochd uairean agus abair
consairt!
Chòrd an oidhche rinn gu mòr ged a bha sinn uamhasach sgìth oir cha do
chriochnaich iad gu uair anns a’ mhadainn.
