Introduction and Background This scheme has been prepared under section 11 of the Official Languages Act 2003 ("the Act") by Trinity College Dublin. Section 11 of the Act provides for the preparation by public bodies of a statutory scheme detailing the services they will provide through -the medium of Irish, -the medium of English and -the medium of Irish and English. Section 1 The scheme describes the measures to be adopted to ensure that services not provided through the medium of the Irish language will, where appropriate, be provided within an agreed timeframe. 1.1 Guidelines for Preparation of Scheme Section 12 of the Act provides for the preparation of guidelines by the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs and their issue to public bodies to assist in the preparation of draft Schemes. This Scheme has been drawn up in conformity with the guidelines. 1.2 Consultation Process In accordance with Section 13 of the Act, Trinity College Dublin published notices in the Irish Times on the 8th of April 2009, and in the Irish language newspaper Foinse on 13 April 2009, inviting representations in relation to the preparation of the draft Scheme from any interested parties. All members of the staff and student communities were also invited to make submissions in regard to the scheme. Consultations were held with a wide range of offices and departments in Trinity College. Submissions were received from Gaelscoileanna, Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge, Conradh na Gaeilge and An Cumann Gaelach, the student Irish language body, in addition to some individual submissions. These submissions informed the task of preparing this Scheme. Briefings were also given to administrative and academic managers in College. 1.3 Working Group A Working Group, comprising representatives from a range of functioning sections within the College community was established by Coiste na Gaeilge, College’s Irish language Committee, for the purpose of advising and directing in relation to the preparation of this scheme. 1.4 Commencement date of Scheme The Scheme will commence with effect from the 1st January 2010 and shall remain in force for a period of three years from that date or until a new Scheme has been confirmed by the Minister pursuant to section 15 of the Act, whichever is the sooner.

It is now one of the great universities of the world, widely recognised for the high quality of its graduates, the international standing of its research and scholarship, Section 2 and the value it places on contributing to Irish society and the wider world. Trinity College Dublin’s new Strategic Plan 2009-2014. sets out the following Vision and Mission for the College Vision Trinity College Dublin will further strengthen its reputation as a university of global consequence.

Mission Through our research and teaching, we engage students and society in the quest for knowledge, seeking to achieve excellence in all we do, and responding with creativity and imagination to the challenges and opportunities of a shared future. In relation to the Irish language, the Strategic Plan commits College to raising Trinity's profile as a centre for academic and cultural activity in the Irish language. It states that Trinity College Dublin will ”increase the number of public Irish language events, such as plays, readings and debates hosted on campus. In order to help us achieve this objective, and also raise Trinity's profile as a centre for academic and cultural activity in the Irish language, we will develop creative partnerships with Irish language organisations”. 2.2 The Provost The Provost is 'Head of the College' and is also the Chief Officer as defined in the Universities Act 1997.

Over the past three years the number of Level 8 degrees has increased from 567 to 579 while the number listed for UCD has been reduced from 56 to 45. EILIS O’BRIEN Director of When UCD began to reduce the number of CAO codes there was a concern that Communication our first to third preferences would suffer, that we would receive less “mentions” on the CAO form and that points for our degrees would fall. However, there is an argument that, for example, the old see-saw between languages and points is simply unfair on students, as one year French tops German and the next year Spanish out-climbs them both. This year, the codes for denominated languages were merged into the BA International and while it will take a little time for the preferences to settle, we have seen a rise in demand in Commerce International of over 17%, where a similar merger of denominated languages took place in 2011.

    Studia Celtica Posnaniensia, Vol 1 (1), 2016 doi: 10.1515/scp-2016-0003 SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS OF IRISH AS AN L2: MOTIVATION, IDENTITY AND LINGUISTIC MUDES KEVIN PETIT Université Lumière Lyon 2 ABSTRACT This article presents the results of a small-scale research conducted for a master’s thesis on the motivation to learn Irish on the part of university students and members of the Gaelic society An Cumann Gaelach. In the light of questionnaires’ results and interviews, the emphasis is placed on the links between motivation, identity, and potential key moments in learners’ lives. Using an AMTB-type questionnaire (n=45), the author puts to the test Dörnyei’s Motivational Self System theory (2005) in the context of the learning of Irish by looking at the correlation between the motivational intensity of 45 students and six variables (Ideal L2 Self, Ought to Self, Ideal L2 Community, Instrumentality, Parental encouragement, and Role of teachers). The notion of Ideal L2 Self, or the capacity to picture oneself speaking an L2 in the future, clearly appears to be strongly correlated with the respondents’ motivational intensity (r=.75 p<.01), in accordance with Dörnyei’s model. However results concerning extrinsic factors differ from previous research, putting forward distinctive features of the learning of minority languages. The second phase of the research looks at the language learning narratives of three An Cumann Gaelach’s members through the qualitative analysis of three interview transcripts. The results clearly show that time spent in Irish summer colleges are linguistic mudes (Pujolar and Puigdevall 2015), or key- moments, which triggered the interest in the language for the three students interviewed.
