Language Supports

CNNG is providing language support for services operating mainly through English in the Gaeltacht, to encourage the use of Irish in those services. The approach is aimed at parents, children and service staff, to guide them towards the natural use of Irish in the service and at home. We have excellent facilitators who are doing workshops on singing, rhymes, poems, storytelling, games, puppet shows and drama skills all through the medium of Irish. We share the language in a fun way with the children.

The supports we provide include:

  • Information and support on how Irish can be part of the everyday life course in the service.
  • Support material to promote the language in the service.
  • Organising a workshop in the service to promote the language.
  • Material to be given to parents to convey the importance of bilingualism to them.

Enriching & Acquiring Langauge

There are various advantages to bilingualism. International research shows that bilingualism helps a person’s intellectual capacity and awareness. There are more employment opportunities available to people who are bilingual. Bilingualism itself increases the child’s self-esteem and self-confidence. With the benefit of bilingualism, it will be easier for your child to learn more languages in the future. When a person has two languages at will, that person has access to the heritage, literature and music of those languages from the inside.
