Programme participants will be able to register to teach Irish to Leaving Certificate level in schools post-graduation.
The programme, beginning in January, will be provided in a flexible and innovative manner to enable broad participation, accommodating teachers working in both full and part-time roles, as well as those situated across the country.
This programme will be delivered in a way that enables participants to engage in new learning experiences across face-to-face, online and practice-based learning. (Two nights per week online, two days per term on campus, and a Gaeltacht residency.)
Postgraduate Diploma in French for Teachers
Trinity College Dublin will deliver this pilot upskilling programme, commencing in September 2025, on behalf of the Department of Education, aimed at increasing the number of qualified post-primary teachers in French in Ireland.
The School of Education, in partnership with the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies, through the Department of French, will deliver this new free upskilling programme to support teachers with existing French skills. This is a two-year part-time programme and is structured to provide flexible learning to participants through a combination of online, pre-recorded, face-to-face instruction and cultural immersion, designed to accommodate teachers in both full and part-time roles, as well as those based across the country.
Objectives:
- The course allows the teacher participants to develop their language proficiency in French across all skills, to gain an in-depth knowledge of French language culture and to adapt and grow their pedagogical expertise and apply it to the teaching of French.
- Upon successful completion of the Postgraduate Diploma, teacher participants will meet the Teaching Council's curricular subject requirements to teach French to Leaving Certificate level.
- Participants will be interested in developing their language proficiency in French, gaining in-depth knowledge of French language culture and growing their pedagogical expertise.
The programme is funded by the Department of Education, however participants are liable for their application and associated testing fees.
