Conradh na Gaeilge offer Leaving Cert Course for Oral Exam

Conradh na Gaeilge is to run a one-day intensive course on Saturday, 29th March, in 6 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2, to help Leaving Cert students prepare for their Irish oral exam. The course includes a mock interview with feedback to help each student gain “confidence and competency” in spoken Irish and costs €100.

CnaG spokeswoman, Brenda Ní Ghairbhí, said that the course tutor was “an experienced Leaving Cert examiner and she will help students prepare for the new layout of the oral exam, now worth 40% of the overall mark in the Irish exam.

“Above all else, Conradh na Gaeilge’s course gives Leaving Cert students a great opportunity to practise their spoken Irish more before the actual test and as such, they can approach the oral exam in April with more confidence in their own ability to speak the language.”

Hand-outs will be provided and there will be discussions on the most common interview mistakes. Participants will take part in an individual mock-oral exam and the focus will be on relevant topics of conversation, picture sequences, useful terms, pronunciation, general interview skills, group work and role-play, she said.
