Goal 2 aims to diversify and increase the uptake
of languages learned and cultivate the languages of
the new Irish. PPLI is implementing this through the
deployment of peripatetic teachers; provision of and
support for the more recently introduced and lesser-taught
languages; piloting a variety of nexible models of delivery such
as shared classes across schools, blended learning, Transition
Year and Leaving Certiocate classes; and incentivising schools
to diversify the languages ofered to students through an
additional allocation scheme. A comprehensive framework of
CPD and support is also provided to teachers to assist with this.
Goal 2 is also being implemented at primary level through
three strands of work: (i) a programme of language upskilling
for primary teachers in a range of languages including online,
blended and in-person language upskilling courses delivered
in Ireland and abroad, throughout the year in collaboration
with a variety of partners and providers (ii) the facilitation of
the 8Say Yes to Languages9 primary language programme
which prepares the ground for enactment of the Primary
