Centre for Deaf Studies Director of the Centre: Professor Lorraine Leeson Acting Co-Director of the Centre: Dr John Bosco Conama Bachelor of Deaf Studies Course Coordinator: Mr Patrick Matthews Centre for Deaf Studies Hello, my name is John Bosco Conama. I’m the Course Coordinator of the Bachelor in Deaf Studies, in the Centre for Deaf Studies, CDS. The CDS is based here in Trinity College Dublin. Trinity is one of the top 50 universities in the world and is the only college in Ireland to offer a bachelor degree in Deaf Studies. The course is accredited by Trinity College Dublin and is linked to the National Framework of Qualifications, which covers level one to level ten qualifications. The Deaf studies course is 4 years in length and is a level 8 qualification, which is equivalent to an honours degree. Students who receive an honours degree can progress to a masters, level 9 or a PHD, level 10 programme. Students have the option of studying in different areas such as education, linguistics, psychology, cultural studies, all of which are linked to the area of Deaf Studies. The aims of the CDS are as follows: - To increase the number of qualified Irish Sign Language/ English interpreters. Before the Centre for Deaf Studies was established, there were very few qualified interpreters in Ireland. This course provides professional training for interpreters ensuring that Deaf people are actively involved in society. - To set the highest standard of ISL teaching. - To provide training in the area of Deaf Studies. The CDS is not here to replace what the IDS, DeafHear or other such organisations, rather, it is here to support them. The aim of the CDS is to encourage the use of ISL, to make sure that more people are aware of Deaf culture but also to promote research and education in the area of Deaf studies. The CDS was established back in 2001, prior to this there was no fixed setting for studies in this field. The IDS along with other organisations lobbied for the establishment of the CDS, and after 10 years of campaigning it was finally set up. Now the CDS has more than seventy students who have received the diploma from TCD, approximately one third of whom are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Past students who have finished the Deaf Studies course are currently employed as interpreters, in schools for the Deaf, teaching ISL or as lecturers in the CDS. We look forward to meeting you soon, thank you for visiting our website!

Stiúrthóir: An tOllamh Lorraine Leeson Comhordaitheoir an Bhaitsiléara i Léann na mBodhar: Patrick Matthews Lárionad Léann na mBodhar (CDS) Dia dhuit, is mise John Bosco Conama agus seo é m’ainm comharthaíochta. Is mise stiúrthóir Lárionad Léann na mBodhar (CDS). Tá an CDS lonnaithe anseo i gColáiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath. Tá Coláiste na Tríonóide ar cheann de na 50 ollscoil is fearr ar domhan agus is é an t-aon choláiste in Éirinn a thairgeann céim bhaitsiléara i Léann na mBodhar. Tá an cúrsa creidiúnaithe ag Coláiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath agus tá sé ceangailte leis an gCreat Náisiúnta Cáilíochtaí, a chlúdaíonn cáilíochtaí leibhéal a haon go dtí leibhéal a deich. Maireann an cúrsa Léann na mBodhar 4 bliana agus is cáilíocht ag leibhéal 8 é. Is ionann sin agus céim onóracha. Féadfaidh mic léinn a bhfuil céim onóracha acu dul ar aghaidh chuig clár máistreachta, clár ag leibhéal 9 nó PhD, nó clár ag leibhéal 10. Bíonn rogha ag mic léinn staidéar a dhéanamh i réimsí éagsúla mar oideachas, teangeolaíocht, síceolaíocht agus léann cultúir. Tá gach ceann díobh ceangailte leis an réimse Léann na mBodhar. Is mar seo a leanas aidhmeanna an CDS: - Cur leis an líon cáilithe ateangairí Teanga Comharthaíochta na hÉireann(ISL)/Béarla. Bhí líon an-íseal ateangairí cáilithe in Éirinn sular bunaíodh Lárionad Léann na mBodhar. Cuireann an cúrsa seo oiliúint ghairmiúil ar fáil d’ateangairí, rud a chinntíonn go mbeidh na bodhair rannpháirteach go gníomhach sa tsochaí. - An caighdeáin is airde a leagan amach ó thaobh múineadh ISL. - Oiliúint a chur ar fáil i réimse Léann na mBodhar. Ní ionad múinteoireachta amháin é an Lárionad CDS, bíonn sé i mbun taighde freisin. Tá taighde déanta againn don NCSE, an Chomhairle Náisiúnta um Oideachas Speisialta, maidir le hoideachas na mBodhar in Éirinn. Tá obair déanta againn freisin leis an Paul Partnership chun na seirbhísí ateangaireachta atá ar fáil do na Bodhair i réigiún an iarthair láir a scrúdú. Níos tábhachtaí fós, cuirtear maoiniú ón Rialtas ar fáil don Údarás um Ard-Oideachas le haghaidh taighde.
