What is the course about?
The aim of this course is to build on students’ basic communication skills in Welsh; to give them the opportunity to practise expressing opinions in Welsh and moving beyond talking about the “here and now”; to promote interest in and awareness of the language and its culture today.
What will we cover?
Topics will include talking about favourite things, holidays, making plans and celebrations.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
- Exchange factual and personal information
- talk about preferences and favourites.
- give opinions with extended reasons
- use different forms of the future tense with confidence.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
Students should have completed Welsh 2 lower: module 2, or have equivalent experience. You should be familiar with the basic word order of Welsh and understand how to form simple sentences about the here-and-now. 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 respond to simple instructions and read course documents in English and be at ease with the use of number 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 course is based on the communicative approach:
- active students’ interaction
- emphasis on speaking and listening skills
- pair and group work
- role plays
- use of realia, pictures and authentic material
- use of audio-visual techniques when appropriate
Please note, students are expected to participate in oral classroom activities and to do some homework as and when required.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
The coursebook 'My Way to Welsh' (H Gruffudd; ISBN:1800992882) will be used in class. Further materials will be provided by the tutor both in sessions and on Google Classroom.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
Welsh 2 upper: module 3 in Term 3 (September). Please enrol as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
