Description
Sa mhodúl seo gheobhaidh mic léinn léargas ar shaincheisteanna a bhaineann le teangacha an domhain, go háirithe an Ghaeilge agus mionteangacha eile. Foghlaimeoidh siad faoi na bealaí ina n-oibríonn teangacha, na fáthanna agus na bealaí ina bhfoghlaimíonn daoine teangacha, go háirithe an dara teanga. Déanfar plé mar gheall ar an dátheangachas agus an ilteangachas, ar mheath agus bás teanga, agus ar athbheochan agus córais pleanála teanga. Déanfaidh mic léinn machnamh criticiúil ar a n-iompar teanga féin go háirithe maidir leis an nGaeilge, agus ar fhorbairt a gcumas Gaeilge. Déanfaidh siad plé ar a ról pearsanta féin i dtodhchaí na Gaeilge.
