TEG (Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge)

Cuireann Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge (TEG) sraith scrúduithe agus cáilíochtaí ar fáil do dhaoine fásta atá ag foghlaim na Gaeilge. Tugann scrúduithe TEG deis d’iarrthóirí, ó ghlantosaitheoirí go leibhéil ardchumais, a gcumas a dheimhniú sa labhairt, sa chluastuiscint, sa léitheoireacht agus sa Ghaeilge scríofa.

Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge (TEG) provides a series of general Irish language proficiency examinations and qualifications for adult learners of Irish. TEG exams give candidates an opportunity to show their ability in speaking, listening, reading and writing Irish at different levels, from absolute beginner to intermediate and advanced levels.

Cad é TEG? / What is TEG?

Is scrúduithe cumais agus cáilíochta iad scrúduithe TEG d’fhoghlaimeoirí fásta na Gaeilge. Tá scrúduithe TEG ag teacht leis na leibhéil atá leagtha amach sa Fhráma Tagartha Comónta Eorpach do Theangacha (Comhairle na hEorpa, 2001). Scrúdaítear na ceithre scil: labhairt, cluastuiscint, léamhthuiscint agus scríbhneoireacht. Tá na scrúduithe ar fáil faoi láthair ag cúig leibhéal ó Bhonnleibhéal 1 (A1) go hArdleibhéal 1 (C1). Ta an rogha ag iarrthóirí ag gach leibhéal an scrúdú iomlán a dhéanamh (Lánchreidiúint) nó an scrúdú cainte amháin a dhéanamh (Páirtchreidiúint).

Is é TEG an chéad chóras teastasaithe d'fhoghlaimeoirí fásta Gaeilge atá bunaithe ar an obair atá déanta ag Comhairle na hEorpa. Tá forbairt déanta ar a leithéid de chóras le haghaidh fhormhór na dteangacha eile san Eoraip cheana. Cabhraíonn an córas seo leis na foghlaimeoirí a gcuid staidéir a phleanáil agus aitheantas a fháil as an dul chun cinn atá déanta acu. Buntáiste eile a bhaineann leis an chóras seo ná go dtugann sé cruthúnas d’institiúidí oideachais agus d'fhostóirí maidir le cumas teanga agus iad ag roghnú iarrthóirí do chúrsaí, do phoist nó d'ardú céime. Tá tábhacht faoi leith leis seo ó tháinig forálacha Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (2003) i bhfeidhm. Tá Lárionad na Gaeilge in Ollscoil Mhá Nuad ina bhall de ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe) a dhéanann monatóireacht ar ábhar agus ar chaighdeán scrúduithe TEG.

TEG examinations are general Irish language proficiency examinations and qualifications for adult learners of Irish, that are broadly based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe, 2001). The four key language skills are tested: reading, writing, listening and speaking. The exams are currently available at five levels from Elementary 1 (A1) to Advanced 1 (C1). These qualifications are recognized by a number of educational institutions and employers. Candidates have the option of taking the full exam in which all skills are tested, or the oral examination only for partial certification.

TEG is the first certification system for adult learners of Irish based on the work of the Council of Europe. Such a system has already been developed for most other European languages. This system helps the learners to plan their studies and get recognition for the progress they have made. Another advantage of this system is that it provides educational institutions and employers with proof of language ability when selecting candidates for courses, positions or promotions. This is particularly important since the provisions of the Official Languages Act (2003) came into force. Lárionad na Gaeilge at Maynooth University is a member of ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe) which monitors the content and quality of TEG examinations.
