Project Time!

Ahoy me mateys! 😀

Well now, I must say, this whole deal with the poject is becoming more and more clear with each passing day. What we are required to do is quite doable and yet, a sure challenge in itself…

Iwould have to say that I like the idea of being able to evaluate language learning for an audience of fellow students and for a module that respects the opinions of students and doesn’t force feed us some academic jargon that we can’t get the hang of! The project we are currently undertaking is designed to do just that – stimulate us to self-teach and give our own opinions. However, it goes above and beyond what we would expect from it, i.e. we are required to compare and contrast two methods of learning – the old versus the new, if you will… Personally, I will find this muy interesante…

As someone questions the whole concept and generally-accepted concensus that all ‘digital natives’ are automatically programmed to be receptive to learning through any means of technology thanks to our inborn natvism thereto, this project will clarify where I fit in with regard to the effective acquisition of a particular section of grammar. In all honesty, I’m a staunch beleiever in the power of the ole grammar book when it comes to this debate. Can’t be beaten for its authority on all things grammatical! 🙂 Who’s with me?

It will make for an interesting project, especially for Irish, the target language for the project, which can be so lexically complicated at times (but lovable all the same, no doubt!). With up to seven different and distinguishable cases for certain words and a unique take on most things liniguistic, I look forward to analysing corpus materials in Irish in a detailed way! 🙂
