LCA Gaeilge Chumarsáideach case studies

Gaeilge Chumarsáideach is the Irish (Gaeilge) component of the Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA), a two-year programme designed for students who prefer a practical, task-based approach to learning. This subject develops the ability to use Irish confidently in everyday situations - listening, speaking, reading and writing - with a strong emphasis on communication rather than literary study. It suits LCA students who want to build functional Irish skills for work, travel, further study or daily life, and who benefit from continuous assessment and clear, real-world tasks. The assessment combines written and oral examination elements with coursework and task-based components, so candidates are evaluated across all four language skills plus a portfolio of communicative work. The LCA Gaeilge Chumarsáideach case studies are 5 cases and about 3,974 words.
