Nua-Ghaeilge [Modern Irish] (MA) Expand all Course Overview Is ar an Luan agus ar an Máirt a bheidh léachtaí an chúrsa lánaimseartha ar siúl. Is ar an Luan amháin a reáchtálfar an cúrsa páirtaimseartha. Forléargas ar an gCúrsa An bhfuil fonn ort ardcháilíocht a bhaint amach i Léann na Gaeilge? An bhfuil suim agat breis scileanna taighde, anailíse agus cur i láthair a fhorbairt? An bhfuil tú ag smaoineamh ar thaighde a dhéanamh ag leibhéal na dochtúireachta amach anseo? Má tá, b’fhéidir gurb é an MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge an cúrsa duitse. Is í Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh an ceannródaí náisiúnta ó thaobh Léann na Gaeilge. Tá saineolas ag foireann Roinn na Gaeilge ar gach tréimhse de chuid na Gaeilge, ón luath-thréimhse go dtí an teanga chomhaimseartha. Tá áiseanna taighde den scoth ag an ollscoil agus rinneadh infheistíocht mhór le déanaí i gcartlanna na hollscoile, rud a thugann buntáiste ar leith don mhac léinn ar mian leis/léi taighde a dhéanamh sna bailiúcháin Ghaeilge atá againn. Tá an Ghaeltacht ar leac an dorais againn agus tá teacht ag na mic léinn ar áiseanna foghlama agus taighde den scoth sna campais Ghaeltachta atá ag an ollscoil i gConamara agus i nGaoth Dobhair. Má dhéanann tú an cúrsa lánaimseartha (bliain amháin), beidh léachtaí agus seimineáir ar siúl dhá lá sa tseachtain. Is féidir an cúrsa a dhéanamh go páirtaimseartha chomh maith (thar dhá bhliain) agus beidh léachtaí agat lá amháin sa tseachtain sa chás sin. Agus an cúrsa seo críochnaithe agat, beidh tú in ann: - Feidhmiú go cruinn ag leibhéal gairmiúil agus acadúil trí mheán na Gaeilge sa scríbhneoireacht agus sa labhairt; - Anailís chriticiúil a dhéanamh ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann comhaimseartha na Gaeilge: an Chritic Liteartha, an Chritic Chultúir agus Shóisialta agus an tSochtheangeolaíocht; - Cur chuige idirdhisciplíneach a léiriú san anailís chriticiúil ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann na Gaeilge; - Do chuid taighde agus anailíse a chur i láthair go cumasach agus go héifeachtach ag an leibhéal cuí acadúil; - Taighde nuálach, neamhspleách a dhéanamh ar shainábhar de do rogha féin agus an taighde sin a léiriú i bhfoirm tráchtais. Baineann na torthaí foghlama céanna leis an Dioplóma Iarchéime seachas nach bhfuil taighde neamhspleách i bhfoirm tráchtais le déanamh.

I mo shaol gairmiúil mar iriseoir is gá scagadh agus póirseáil a dhéanamh ar eolas. Go minic, is gá an t-eolas atá ar leas an phobail a aithint, a scaradh ó eolas eile agus a chur in iúl don ghnáthdhuine ar shlí atá sothuigthe. Tairbhe as cuimse a bhí san MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge chun mo chuid scileanna teanga agus anailíse a fhorbairt. Ba luachmhar an taithí chomh maith gur leagadh béim ar scileanna cur i láthair mar chuid den Mháistreacht. Ailbhe Nic Giolla Chomhaill | Mac Léinn PhD Thug mise faoin MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge sa bhliain 2012. Bhí mé díreach tar éis BA a bhaint amach agus ní raibh mé iomlán cinnte cén treo ina rachainn ó thaobh gairm bheatha de. Thug an MA deis dom modúil a roghnú a bhí an-éagsúil óna chéile ach a chuir ar mo chumas scileanna anailíse luachmhara a fhorbairt agus tuiscint den scoth a fháil ar litríocht agus ar chultúr na Gaeilge. Spreag an cúrsa seo dúil mhór sa taighde ionam agus shocraigh mé leanúint den taighde agus tabhairt faoi dhochtúireacht in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh. Ní fhéadfainn tabhairt faoin dúshlán sin gan na scileanna teanga, scríbhneoireachta agus cur i láthair a d’fhoghlaim mé le linn na máistreachta. Amanda Bernhardt & Seanchán Ó Cinnéide | Massachusetts Tugadh an deis don bheirt againn an MA i Nua-Ghaeilge a dhéanamh sa bhliain 2012. Le deontas ón Choimisiún Fulbright, bhí muid in ann bogadh go Gaillimh agus tabhairt faoin iarchéim le chéile. I dtús báire, mar Mheiriceánaigh ba dhúshlán mór é na cúrsaí a dhéanamh ag leibhéal chomh hard sin os rud é nach raibh an cúlra teanga céanna againne agus a bhí ag na mic léinn eile. Thug foireann Roinn na Gaeilge neart tacaíochta dúinn, áfach, agus tá muid thar a bheith buíoch díobh uilig. Ní amháin gur saineolaithe amach is amach iad sna hábhair atá á dteagasc acu, múinteoirí agus daoine den scoth atá iontu fosta. Anois, agus muid ar ais sna Stáit, bíonn muid ag teagasc na Gaeilge sna coláistí áitiúla agus ag stiúradh comhráite beo i nGaeilge ar líne. Bhí taithí ar dóigh againn i nGaillimh.
