The aim of the course is that on completion, teachers are equipped with both the necessary Gaelic language skills and teaching methodology to deliver Gaelic as L2 or L3 from early to 2nd level.

Why Gaelic?
Quite simply, two languages are better than one and it’s Scotland’s language.
Research has shown that, on average, people with two languages possess better cognitive and language skills than those who have only one language.
