Celtic Languages and Literatures
2022–2023
Nicholas Thyr
The three documents on display here represent a sample of draft teaching workshops I created over the past academic year. These will help ensure graduate students in our department (Celtic Languages and Literatures) are prepared to confront the particular challenges provided by our array of classes, which feature languages (Welsh, Irish, Breton, Scottish Gaelic) and literary conventions most undergraduates have a passing knowledge of, at best. The department does not yet have an official teaching colloquium; we hope revised versions of these workshops will appear in one by 2025.

I created a repository for Language teaching resources for my department. Because TFs have to teach languages of which they are not native speakers, and minority languages which have little visibility online, this repository provides resources to helpTFs focus on pedagogy rather than having to dedicate all their time to creating materials. This repository is also meant to be updated as new materials are created, and can serve as a foundational platform for the creation of a future Celtic Teaching Colloquium.
