Primary Language Toolkit The Primary Language Toolkit supports teachers in using the Learning Outcomes by providing practical support in planning for, and providing rich language learning experiences for children. The three components of the toolkit are described in the following section – Examples of Children’s Language Learning, Progression Continua and Support Materials for Teachers. Cabhraíonn Uirlisí Úsáide Teanga na Bunscoile le múinteoirí agus iad ag úsáid na Torthaí Foghlama mar go dtugann siad tacaíocht phraiticiúil dóibh chun eispéiris foghlama teanga shaibhre a phleanáil agus a chur ar fáil do pháistí. Déantar cur síos sa chuid seo ar na trí chuid de na huirlisí úsáide – Samplaí d’Fhoghlaim Teanga na bPáistí, Contanaim Dul chun Cinn agus Ábhar Tacaíochta do Mhúinteoirí. Examples of Children's Language Learning / Samplaí d’Fhoghlaim Teanga na bPáistí Developed with teachers, these Examples give insights into how teachers work with learning outcomes to make decisions about what they teach, the types of activities, experiences and pedagogies they use, and the information they gather on how well children are doing in their language learning. Each example is accompanied by 'Support Information' which provides more detail on the school and classroom context, and the choices made by the teacher in preparing, teaching and assessing the children's learning. They also contain some reflective questions which you might find useful when thinking about your own practice.
