Details: G324 -Ùlpan Gaelic Units 1-24: Teaching Course Ùlpan Gaelic Units 1-24, taught by trainee tutors*. Ùlpan is a fast and effective way to learn a language which has been used to great effect in Israel, where it originated, and in Wales, where Wlpan has brought thousands of adult learners to fluency in Welsh. Speaking comes first, and reading and writing follow a little later. You learn through repetition of key structures and through language activities, with the emphasis on using the language, rather than on more academic skills such as building a knowledge of grammar. More information can be found at www.cli.org.uk. Monday, 28th June – Saturday, 3rd July 2010, 09.00 -16.30 Fee: £150 (students already registered with Ùlpan qualify automatically for a £50 discount which will cover units 1-72). *As course will be taught by trainee tutors under supervision the fee has been reduced from the normal rate of £230.
