Taking account of in-class and out-of-class factors, it examines the variety of Irish spoken by the pupils, the extent to which the Irish spoken deviates from native-speaker norms, the degree to which pupils are aware of and attempt to acquire a native-like variety and the extent to which issues of identity and motivation are involved. The results highlight the limitations of an immersion system in generating active and accurate users of the language outside the immersion setting and will help immersion educators to gain a greater understanding of how young immersion learners learn and acquire the target language. The findings are placed in the context of other one-way immersion programmes internationally with a particular focus on minority language settings, and make an important contribution not only to our understanding of the Irish issues, but how the Irish situation can be placed in a broader scholarly and socio-political context.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 475gAuthor: Pádraig Ó DuibhirGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Children's Learning & Education, Society & CultureBook Series: Bilingual Education & BilingualismRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
