Ronan Barrett, a teacher in Rathfarnham Educate Together National School,
Dublin, talks about integrating the programme beyond the language class, useful ways to
invest the grant funds and interesting ideas on how to progress from one year to another
Cathal Duffy, formerly a teacher and principal at St Peter the Apostle SNS,

teaching the module.
Togher GNS Principal Eimear Long and programme lead and teacher Bríd Kelleher

community and culture.
During the 2022/23 school year, over 700 schools will be involved in Say Yes to Languages, a sampler module introducing primary pupils to a new language. Say Yes to Languages aims to facilitate schools in introducing a Modern Foreign Language (MFL) of their choice or Irish Sign Language (ISL)
We wish to thank INTO for giving us the opportunity to feature in their publication.
