This module will examine the theory and practice underpinning the integration of language, literacy, mathematics and scientific enquiry across the curriculum and will explore ways of developing conceptual knowledge and understanding through a cross-curricular approach and the integration of other subjects into these subject lessons. The development of language and literacy in both English and Gaeilge will be studied in this module. The use of Content and Language Integrated learning (CLIL) in the teaching of Gaeilge will be explored.
In terms of Language and Literacy, Mathematics and Scientific Enquiry, this module further develops students’ understanding and application of relevant theories for the effective linkage, integration and differentiation of language, mathematics and scientific enquiry in teaching and learning. Students will examine, select and apply a wide range of strategies to support children’s literacy, communicative skills and engagement with literature across the curriculum and also apply a wide range of strategies to support children’s mathematical & scientific enquiry through an integrated curriculum approach.
Students will explore the role and impact of ICT for educational issues around language, literature, literacy, numeracy and scientific enquiry. Assessment for and assessment of learning are key components of this module.
