Course outline

What is the course about?

The aim of this course is to introduce students to basic oral communication skills in Welsh; to give them the opportunity to practise and improve these skills in a variety of day to day situations; to promote interest in and awareness of the language and its culture today.

What topics will we cover?

We aim to cover units 1-7 of Cwrs Mynediad. Topics will include: greetings, sharing personal information (eg where you live, if you work, what your name is), talking about the weather and expressing likes and dislikes.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

Greet other people.
Say where you live and work.
Describe the current weather.
.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

Stage 1 course - No previous knowledge of Welsh required. For further details of the specific foreign language skills required for this level, please see the languages self-assessment chart, using the link at the top of this page. You can also find the chart at the start of the languages section in our course guide. You will also need to be able to understand basic spoken and written information in English (e.g. simple instructions, course documents) and be at ease with the use of numbers for daily activities (e.g. using money, telling the time etc).

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

The emphasis will be on laying a good foundation to help you develop speaking and listening skills in Welsh; role play, class/group/pair work and listening activities all have a part to play on this course. Homework will be set on a weekly basis. Please note students are expected to participate in oral classroom activities.

The course book Cwrs Mynediad (Fersiwn y De/South Wales version) (ISBN: 9781860856105) will be used in the class. It cost approximately £15.
