Dolores Mhic G\u00e9idigh is an Adult Literacy Organiser with our Further Education and Training (FET) Service in Gort an Choirce. She represents Donegal ETB on the Steering Group of the Breacadh project. In this blog she tells us more about the project.<\/em><\/p>\n

What does the word \u2018Breacadh\u2019<\/em> mean?<\/p>\n

There are a few ways to translate the word.\u00a0 It can mean \u2018dawn\u2019 as in \u2018dawn of day\u2019 or it can mean to note or jot something down.\u00a0 It is a very apt name to describe an adult education project, as for many adult learners this is their new dawn and a reintroduction to the world of education (and the reading and writing that that entails).<\/p>\n

What is the Breacadh project?<\/p>\n

Breacadh provides high quality teaching and learning resources as a support to Further Education and Training Services in the Gaeltacht.<\/p>\n

It is funded by SOLAS<\/a> and operated by the Education and Training Boards (ETBs) that provide services in Gaeltacht areas.\u00a0 Every ETB that has a Gaeltacht area is represented on the steering group \u2013 Donegal, Galway<\/a>, Mayo<\/a>, Kerry<\/a>, Cork<\/a>, Waterford<\/a> and Meath<\/a>.\u00a0 Cr\u00f3na Gallagher, Director of Further Education and Training in Donegal, was a founder member of the Breacadh project.<\/p>\n

There are two people employed full-time, the Project Manager, M\u00e1ir\u00edn U\u00ed Niaidh and \u00c1ine de Bhail\u00eds U\u00ed Neacht\u00e1in, Editor.\u00a0 Writers and subject experts are employed on a contract basis as resources are being developed.\u00a0 The office is based in Casla, Co. Galway.<\/p>\n

Since its establishment, Breacadh has developed and published a wide range of teaching and learning materials for many ETB adult education programmes.\u00a0 These include classroom resources for Family Learning Programmes like Communications and Maths; a phonics scheme called Mar a D\u00e9arf\u00e1!<\/em> (meaning: As You Would Say!); as well as lots of other reading materials at different levels, both fiction and non-fiction.\u00a0 The project has also supported Further Education and Training Services in the Gaeltacht to train volunteer tutors and has provided professional development courses, particularly around the roll-out of the phonics course.<\/p>\n

Most of these resources and materials are published in all 3 major dialects, Ulster, Connacht and Munster.<\/p>\n

\"ScreenshotWithout a doubt, one of the most important pieces of work ever undertaken by Breacadh is the development and publication of the phonics scheme Mar a D\u00e9arf\u00e1!<\/em>\u00a0 It is a graded, sequential, multi-sensory literacy programme \/ scheme that is used in teaching to allow native Irish speakers to achieve a high standard of spelling and writing in their first language and in their own dialect.\u00a0 It has been designed to help with writing and spelling from early age to adult learners. \u00a0It focuses on the major sounds that the native speaker makes in his\/her own tongue and ties these to the written \u2018codes\u2019 of those sounds.\u00a0 Again, this is available in each of the three dialects.\u00a0 In fact, that why it is called Mar a D\u00e9arf\u00e1! (meaning: As You Would Say!), as it starts with the rich dialectal language of the learner and draws on and builds on that foundation stone.\u00a0 You can have a look at the Ulster scheme here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For more information go to www.breacadh.ie<\/a> \u00a0Many of the resources are there to be downloaded free or you can order them on-line.\u00a0 Mar a D\u00e9arf\u00e1!<\/em> can be found at www.maradearfa.ie<\/a> and can be bought on-line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
