The Institute for Irish-American Studies of the City University of New York continues to offer innovative ways to study the Irish language. Late Registration for the Summer Study Abroad program in Connemara, Ireland, ends June 15. Elementary Irish One and Two (6 credits or audit) in An Cheathrú Rua/Carraroe will run from July 21 to August 18.

Early Registration for the CUNY-IIAS Fall 2006 on-line Elementary Irish One class with Elaine Ní Bhraonáin is currently underway. Last fall, 26 students registered for this class from throughout the United States. Elementary Irish Three will also be offered in the fall.

Elementary Irish Two will be offered in Spring 2007. As a result of a generous grant from the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, CUNY-IIAS will also begin offering intermediate level courses in 2007 and literature courses in 2008 through the medium of Irish.
