Oidean Gàidhlig / Gaelic Language Tutors

Are you passionate about the Gaelic language and keen to pass on your skills and encourage more people to speak Gaelic?

If so, we are seeking to recruit language tutors across the islands who can be called upon as and when our language courses (e.g. Speak Gaelic, ULPAN…etc) are scheduled to be delivered. For more information on our short course portfolio link here: https://www.nwh.uhi.ac.uk/en/study/leisure-and-short-courses/gaelic/

Responsibilities: Our bank staff of tutors will be called upon to deliver language instruction to groups of language learners across the islands. They will be expected to run languages classes in their community, enroll students, take registers of attendance, and monitor progression through the taught elements of our language courses. At the conclusion of the courses our tutors will advise learners of further language learning opportunities and return registers to the Registry team at UHI North, West and Hebrides.

Qualifications, Experience and Skills: The post holder will normally hold a minimum qualification of HNC, preferably in Gaelic. Previous experience of providing Gaelic language tutoring would be beneficial to the role. This activity might also suit graduates seeking to develop their teaching skills.

Gaelic bank staff acting as our tutors will need to be fully fluent in the language.

A bheil ùidh mhòr agad sa Ghàidhlig agus a bheil thu airson nan sgilean agad a thoirt do dhaoine eile agus tuilleadh a bhrosnachadh gus a bhith a’ bruidhinn Gàidhlig?

Ma tha, tha sinn airson oidean cànain a thrusadh air feadh nan eilean a dh’fhaodar a chleachdadh uair sam bith a bhios na cùrsaichean cànain againn (me Speak Gaelic, ULPAN…msaa) gu bhith air an lìbhrigeadh.  Gheibhear tuilleadh fiosrachaidh mu na cùrsaichean goirid againn an seo:  https://www.nwh.uhi.ac.uk/en/study/leisure-and-short-courses/gaelic/

Uallachaidhean: Bithear ag iarraidh air a’ bhanca de dh’oidean oideachadh cànain a thoirt do bhuidhnean de luchd-ionnsachaidh cànain bho air feadh nan eilean.  Bithear a’ sùileachadh gun tabhair iad clasaichean cànain sa choimhearsnachd aca fhèin, oileanaich a chlàradh, cunntas a chumail air frithealadh, agus sùil a chumail air adhartas tro na h-eileamaidean a tha air an teagasg de na cùrsaichean cànain. Aig deireadh nan cùrsaichean bidh na h-oidean againn a’ toirt fiosrachadh do luchd-ionnsachaidh mu na cothroman eile a tha ann a thaobh ionnsachadh cànain agus bidh iad a’ tilleadh nan clàran chun sgioba Clàraidh aig UHI a Tuath, An Iar is Innse Gall.

Teisteanasan, Eòlas agus Sgilean: Bu chòir gum biodh co-dhiù teisteanas HNC aig an ìre as lugha, gu miannaichte sa Ghàidhlig, aig an neach san dreuchd.  Bhiodh eòlas ro-làimh a thaobh a bhith a’ tabhann oideachadh sa Ghàidhlig air leth feumail.  Dh’fhaodadh an obair seo a bhith air leth feumail do luchd-ceumnachaidh a bhiodh airson nan sgilean teagaisg aca a leasachadh.

Feumaidh an fheadhainn a bhios sa bhanca-obrach againn mar oidean a bhith fileanta sa chànan.
