TIP is an ideal foundation for mastering spoken French.
During TIP mini-immersion settings, you will speak all the time! Repetition, uses of topics, tasks, objects, and non-verbal communication will help program your brain with the new language that you are learning.
TIP is founded on the imaginative use of the widest range possible of everyday equipment, topics, strategies, items, objects, tools, materials found in one's everyday life.
Courses are 2 hours long and occur in a home or other non-academic settings.
Each course costs $15 per student or $75 for six mini-immersion sessions.
(A minimum registration of 4 participants is required for each course. TIP is a method that favours social interaction and creating maximum opportunities for each student to speak.)

Sgoil Ghàidhlig’s immersion courses utilize a methodology known as Total Immersion Plus (TIP), which was introduced to Nova Scotia by Finlay MacLeod of Comhairle nan Sgoiltean Àraich, the Scottish Gaelic Preschools Association. Immersion courses of this type are also known as Gàidhlig aig Baile, or ‘Gaelic in the Community’. Gàidhlig aig Baile instruction is currently offered in numerous Nova Scotian communities, and Sgoil Ghàidhlig an Àrd Bhaile offers the most extensive course timetables in the province.

TIP - What is it?
Gaelic acquired by way of Total Immersion Plus (TIP) occurs in an environment that is exclusive to this language. Moreover, no other language is permitted on a TIP centred course. However, there are one or two exceptions and they are discussed later on in this document.
TIP is founded on the imaginative use of the widest range possible of everyday equipment, topics, strategies, items, objects, tools, materials found in one's everyday life.
TIP methodology excludes all reading, writing, grammar and translation within its first phase. Such important skills are embraced only in phases two and three.
Acquisition in TIP terms, means that students are surrounded by the Gaelic they are learning and by way of tutor directed information. The language is picked up and absorbed by the student as they progress through a TIP course; initially in the use of single words, phrases and then moving onto sentences; ultimately leading to conversation.
Once a student has embarked on language acquisition two fundamental components of TIP kick in. These being intensive repetition and non verbal communication and as progress is made, fluency begins to occur.
An essential feature of TIP is the half or one day introductory session for prospective students. The session outlines the path of an intended TIP course; a student's role on a course; the "Gaelic only" rule and why we have an "English Only Room".
Gaelic language acquisition TIP requires an "English Only Room". This room which must be completely separate for the course room will allow other language speakers to remove themselves from the Gaelic only environment, to another place where they can let off five to ten minutes of other language steam. They can then return to the language acquisition room, refreshed and well able for the Gaelic only environment.
A great strength of TIP is its ability to be an ideal foundation for many other and varied language acquisition courses.
TIP can proudly boast of yet another and profoundly unique feature and that being, its suitability for those communities who have no written language as part of their culture.
TIP - Delivery
The overriding objective of Total Immersion Plus (TIP) is that one acquires Gaelic by way of the subtle use of topics, tasks, strategies, non verbal communication and though not subtle in this aspect, intensive repetition.
The "English Only Room" must be completely separate from the course delivery rooms, so as not to undermine the main objective; this being the acquisition of the Gaelic language as quickly as possible. Notwithstanding, it will allow other language speakers to remove themselves from the "Gaelic only environment" to another place where they can let off five to ten minutes of other language steam and thus return to the "Gaelic only environment", refreshed and ready to embrace the constraints of the "Gaelic environment".
To become a TIP tutor a candidate must undergo ten days of personal training on an approved TIP Tutor Training Course, this to be followed up by two more days of "updating skills", each year.
Students wishing to become conversationally fluent in the stated 200 hours time frame will need to complete this task on a personal contact basis. Ideally, this task is best accomplished in an unbroken block of 6 weeks. Notwithstanding, a student, can complete the course, over a longer period; though they must be aware that it still takes 200 hours to reach the desired conversational fluency, irrespective of the breaks a student takes while on the course.
A TIP course embraces a high degree of flexibility, insomuch as it can with equal success, be served up in the home, workplace, classroom, catering outlets etc. Then again these courses work just as well in occupational venues such as veterinary surgeries, kitchens, fishing boats, garden centres, cultural centres, community halls etc. Indeed, the places one can conduct a TIP centred course are virtually unlimited.
An absolute essential of all TIP centred courses is that they must have the most imaginative, stimulating and widest range possible of everyday equipment, items, objects, tools, materials, and furniture, one can practically gather together.
TIP not only recognises dialects, but also joyfully embraces and indeed, celebrates their diversity.
TIP employs intensive and substantial amounts of repetition, this is a fact. And admittedly, students in the initial stage of a TIP centred course, often find such ploys intimidating, if not irritating. However, given just a little longer time and patience, students quickly, revise this view and come to realise, the real value of repetition. Indeed, feedback from almost every student that has ever partaken of a TIP course, has come to regard repetition as a lifeline. Moreover, most of them claim, that there was never enough repetition on a course, to satisfy their need.
