Description: Immersion Education : Lessons from a Minority Language Context, Hardcover by Duibhir, Padraig O., ISBN 1783099836, ISBN-13 9781783099832, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Drawing on studies he conducted between 2007 and 2014, the author examines the proficiency in Irish of students in all-Irish schools and the attitudes of students, their parents, and their teachers regarding proficiency and language use inside and outside the classroom, as well as the potential for all-Irish school students to become active users of Irish outside the school environment and increase the use of the language in society. He analyzes the variety of Irish spoken by students, how it deviates from native speaker norms, how pupils are aware of an attempt to acquire a native-like variety, and the role of issues of identity and motivation. He describes the current state of the Irish language, the geographical and political context of the place of Irish in the education system, theories on second language learning, the syntactic and lexical features of the students' Irish, their views in relation to their speech samples, their attitudes and motivation for learning Irish and using it in the home and school outside the classroom, and the views of Irish and French immersion teachers in Ireland and Canada.
