JC Irish T1 study guide

Gaeilge na Sraithe Sóisearaí is the compulsory Irish subject taken by nearly every student in the Junior Cycle in Ireland, and it is one of the subjects that counts towards certification. Two specifications exist: Gaeilge L1 for students in Irish-medium schools and Gaeilge L2 for students in English-medium schools, with different learning outcomes but the same overall shape - communicative ability matters more than reciting set material. The subject is assessed in three parts. Two Classroom-Based Assessments (Measúnuithe Rangbhunaithe) are completed in class during the course, the first of them centred on oral communication; these are followed by a written Assessment Task (Tasc Measúnaithe) and by a final written examination set by Coimisiún na Scrúduithe Stáit. The JC Irish T1 study guide has 4 sections and about 1,070 words.
