Effects of Bilingualism on the Cognitive and Linguistic Development of Children

Is ollamh cúnta san oideachas í Jacqueline i Scoil na dteangacha, na Litearthachta agus an Oideachas Luath-Óige in Ollscoil Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath. Ba Chomhairleoir Oideachais í san Áisaonad i gColáiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Béal Feirste, áit a raibh sí páirteach i ndearadh áiseanna don Ghaeloideachas. Beidh an caint seo, a mbeidh Gráinne Ní Fhlanagáin ina Caothaoirleach ann, an-úsáideach fá choinne tuismitheoirí le páistí ag Gaelscoileanna. Beidh deis ag rannpháirtithe ceisteanna a chur ag Jacqueline i ndiaidh a cainte. Beidh an t-imeacht seo i mBéarla.

Jacqueline is an Assistant Professor at Dublin City University’s School of Language, Literacy & Early Childhood Education. She was an Education Adviser in the Áisaonad in St. Mary’s University Belfast where she took part in the provision of resources for immersion schools.

This talk, which will be chaired by Gráinne Flanagan, is likely to be of interest to all parents and it will be particularly pertinent if your child either attends or may attend Irish language immersion education. There will an opportunity for participants to ask Jacqueline questiongs after her talk. This talk will be in English.
