The language teaching landscape in Ireland has changed considerably over the last 30 years as a result of substantial and sustained inward migration into the country during this period. These social and demographic developments have added to the country's already bilingual context and created a much more varied multilingual landscape than had existed in previous decades. They have also impacted various aspects of language teaching policy, provision and methods for both indigenous and foreign languages. This article reviews research on language teaching and learning in Ireland published during the period 2012–2021. We discuss relevant work disseminated primarily in peer-reviewed journals (national and international), as well as in books, commissioned reports and chapters in edited volumes. The research and policy documents presented concern the teaching and learning of Irish, English and Modern Foreign Languages as second and/or additional languages across all levels of education. They address language teacher training contexts as well. We believe that this review of research demonstrates the extent to which recent inquiries in these domains have advanced knowledge and practice in the Irish context, and have also informed the international research community more generally.

爱尔兰的语言教学：2012–2021

在过去的 30 年里，由于在此期间大量和持续的移民进入该国，爱尔兰的语言教学格局发生了巨大变化。这些社会和人口发展增加了该国已经双语的环境，并创造了比过去几十年更加多样化的多语言景观。它们还影响了土著语言和外语的语言教学政策、规定和方法的各个方面。本文回顾了 2012 年至 2021 年期间发表的关于爱尔兰语言教学的研究。我们讨论主要在同行评审期刊（国内和国际）以及书籍、委托报告和编辑卷中的章节中传播的相关工作。提交的研究和政策文件涉及爱尔兰语、英语和现代外语作为第二和/或附加语言在各级教育中的教学和学习。他们也解决了语言教师培训的问题。我们认为，这项研究回顾表明，这些领域的近期调查在多大程度上促进了爱尔兰背景下的知识和实践，并更广泛地为国际研究界提供了信息。
