A bheil ùidh mhòr agad sa Ghàidhlig agus a bheil thu airson nan sgilean agad a thoirt do dhaoine eile agus tuilleadh a bhrosnachadh gus a bhith a’ bruidhinn Gàidhlig?
Ma tha, tha sinn airson oidean cànain a thrusadh air feadh nan eilean a dh’fhaodar a chleachdadh uair sam bith a bhios na cùrsaichean cànain againn (me Speak Gaelic, ULPAN...msaa) gu bhith air an lìbhrigeadh. Gheibhear tuilleadh fiosrachaidh mu na cùrsaichean goirid againn an seo: https://www.nwh.uhi.ac.uk/en/study/leisure-and-short-courses/gaelic/
Uallachaidhean: Bithear ag iarraidh air a’ bhanca de dh’oidean oideachadh cànain a thoirt do bhuidhnean de luchd-ionnsachaidh cànain bho air feadh nan eilean. Bithear a’ sùileachadh gun tabhair iad clasaichean cànain sa choimhearsnachd aca fhèin, oileanaich a chlàradh, cunntas a chumail air frithealadh, agus sùil a chumail air adhartas tro na h-eileamaidean a tha air an teagasg de na cùrsaichean cànain. Aig deireadh nan cùrsaichean bidh na h-oidean againn a’ toirt fiosrachadh do luchd-ionnsachaidh mu na cothroman eile a tha ann a thaobh ionnsachadh cànain agus bidh iad a’ tilleadh nan clàran chun sgioba Clàraidh aig UHI a Tuath, An Iar is Innse Gall.
Teisteanasan, Eòlas agus Sgilean: Bu chòir gum biodh co-dhiù teisteanas HNC aig an ìre as lugha, gu miannaichte sa Ghàidhlig, aig an neach san dreuchd. Bhiodh eòlas ro-làimh a thaobh a bhith a’ tabhann oideachadh sa Ghàidhlig air leth feumail. Dh’fhaodadh an obair seo a bhith air leth feumail do luchd-ceumnachaidh a bhiodh airson nan sgilean teagaisg aca a leasachadh.
Feumaidh an fheadhainn a bhios sa bhanca-obrach againn mar oidean a bhith fileanta sa chànan.
