Co-chomhairle air Dreachd Plana Gàidhlig UHI

Fhuair mi na leanas ann an litir-cuairt an-diugh:

Tha UHI a’ dreachdadh ar ciad Phlana Gàidhlig (2010-2014). Tha ar plana àraid. Tha sinn nar chiad bhuidheann ionnsachaidh agus teagaisg ann an Alba air an deach iarraidh plana Gàidhlig a chruthachadh. Tha e a’ toirt dha UHI cothrom eadar-dhealachadh cudromach a dhèanamh dhan chànan air feadh ar sgìre oibreachaidh.

’S e plana buileachaidh a bhios ann, a bhios a’ cur air bhonn amasan agus targaidean airson ar solarachadh Gàidhlig a leudachadh tro ar gnìomhan oibreachaidh, a’ gabhail a-steach solarachadh curraicealam.

Bidh e a’ cuideachadh gus na prìomh amasan de Phlana Nàiseanta na Gàidhlig a choilionadh, gus meudachadh na tha de Ghàidhlig air a chleachdadh, air fhaicinn agus air a chluinntinn agus inbhe na cànain. 'S e an t-amas a bhith a’ brosnachadh agus a’ cur fàilte ro luchd-labhairt agus luchd-leughaidh na Gàidhlig ann an UHI a bhith a’ cleachdadh na cànain a thaghas iad.

Thèid an dreach phlana a-mach gu cho-chomhairleachadh poblach fad sia seachdainean bho mheadhan an Iuchair 2009 agus thèid fhoillseachadh air ar làrach-lìn agus a shanasachadh gu nàiseanta. Tha sinn den bheachd gu bheil cur-a-steach nan luchd-obrach agus nan oileanach air leth cudromach gus dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil am plana gu h-iomlan iomchaidh dha ar coimhearsnachdan. Leis gu bheil an cùrsa co-chomhairleachaidh a’ toiseachadh rè bhriseadh an t-samhraidh, bha sinn airson fios a leigeil thugaibh ro làimh gus urrainn dhuibh nota a ghabhail beachdan no molaidhean dèantach a chur thugainn airson beachdachadh.

Tha sinn a’ coimhead air adhart ri bhith a’ faighinn ur freagairtean anns an Iuchar agus san Lùnastal.|

UHI is drafting our first Gaelic Language Plan (2010-2014). Our plan is unique. We are the first learning and teaching body in Scotland to be asked to produce a Gaelic plan. It provides UHI with the opportunity to make a significant difference to the language across our area of operation.

It will be an implementation plan which will set out objectives and targets for increasing our Gaelic provision through our operational activities, including curriculum provision.

It will help to fulfil the key objectives of the National Plan for Gaelic to increase the usage, visibility, audibility and status of the language and the aim is to encourage and welcome Gaelic speakers and readers in UHI to use their language of choice.

The draft plan will go out to public consultation for six weeks from mid July 2009 and will be posted on our website and advertised nationally. We consider the input of both students and staff is vital to ensure that the plan is fully relevant to our communities. As this consultation is commencing during the summer break, we wanted to let you know in advance so you can take note to send us any practicable comments or suggestions you have for consideration.

We look forward to receiving your responses in July and August.
