English version below: Is iad na sainréimsí taighde agus teagaisc atá agam ná

• Nuafhilíocht na Gaeilge
• Prós comhaimseartha na Gaeilge
• An t-aistriúchán liteartha

Ina theannta sin, tá suim mhór agam i modheolaíochtaí teagaisc ar líne agus tá taighde nuálach déanta agam i réimse an teagaisc ríomhchuidithe teangacha. Tá torthaí an taighde sin i gcló. Ghlac mé ról ceannaireachta i bhforbairt agus i gcur i bhfeidhm an tSiollabais Nua i gColáiste Phádraig. Chomh maith leis sin, thacaigh mé le comhghleacaithe i gColáiste Mhuire gan Smál, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad agus in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, san obair seo.

My main teaching interests include

• contemporary Irish prose and poetry,
• literary translation
• applied linguistics
• ecocriticism

I also have an interest in computer assisted language learning and I have played a major role in the development and implementation of the new Irish-language syllabus for third level (2008-2012).
