Tá muidne den tuairim go bhfuil seisiúin comhrá mar na cinn atá ar fáil anseo riachtanach do chúrsa foirmiúil na Gaeilge ar bith. Más ag ollscoil nó institiúid eile, má tá an cúrsa taobh amuigh nó taobh istigh d’Éirinn, bheadh sé cuidiúil do na foghlaimeoirí páirt a ghlacadh i gcomhráite eagraithe, rialta le foghlaimeoirí eile mar chuid den phróiseas foghlama. Faigheann mic léinn nasc pearsanta, atá i bhfolach, le heolas faoina n-ollscoil féin, agus cuirtear seisiúin comhrá in ord de réir chlár ama na mac léinn agus de réir plean na n-ollamh.
Seo roinnt smaointí ó ollamh ollscoile a d'úsáid chuid seirbhísí Comhrá le Chéile i gcúrsa a bhí ar siúl san Fhómhair 2013 ag Coláiste Hampshire in Amherst, Massachusetts:
My experience with Comhrá le Chéile took place in the context of teaching a linguistics course about Endangered Languages, in which Irish was used as a main case study. I wanted my students to have some (optional) hands-on engagement with hearing and using the language, and Amanda and Jonathan filled the bill admirably. They provided well-structured and well-planned weekly online introductory language-learning sessions for about a dozen students who chose to participate, as well as some informal background lecture and discussion about Irish culture. The students were, overall, very enthusiastic about their experience. They especially appreciated the personal and interactive character of the program; one told me, for instance, “I had a very nice sense that I was engaging with a real speaker of the language” rather than a textbook or a teacher. All in all it was a successful and interesting experiment, and given the growing appeal of on-line teaching and learning I see a bright future for Comhrá le Chéile.
