Katrina Keogh and Judith Ní Mhurchú from the NCCA have written an article for the CIDREE yearbook about the mobile language learning projects using Learnosity technology.
The article outlines the background of the projects, along with the change in Irish language policies which changed the marks awarded for the oral component of the examination. It also outlines the excellent results of the two projects: MALL Project (2007) and FÓN Project (2008-2009).
The article is entitled: "Changing policy and an innovative response: Teaching, learning and assessing Irish using mobile phones".
CIDREE is the Consortium of Institutions for Development and Research in Education in Europe. The title of the yearbook is "Yearbook #9: MANY VOICES. Language Policy and Practice in Europe, Emerging challenges and innovative responses".
