CELT CPD workshop: Good practice in Welsh medium and bilingual teaching
Speakers: Dr Myfanwy Davies & Dr Huw Pritchard, Cardiff University
Higher education has a central role to play in achieving the Welsh Government's goal of reaching one million speakers by 2050. 亚洲色吧 is the main provider of Welsh-medium education and has been developing innovative methods for Welsh medium teaching for over a century.
However, the numbers opting for Welsh-medium Higher Education across Wales have fallen and students choosing Welsh medium options in 亚洲色吧 are few despite employers' demands for graduates with professional-level Welsh.
This session will outline the concept, techniques and effects of translanguaging. It will include a live interview with Dr. Huw Pritchard from Cardiff University's School of Law and Politics to discuss over a decade of planning and growing Welsh and bilingual provision there. The session will also include a report on the early results of a research project led by 亚洲色吧, examining perceptions of Welsh and bilingual learning, assessment and support approaches among bilingual students who are not currently opting for Welsh language provision.
Session Language: Cymraeg
