Welsh 4: clwb darllen / reading club

What is the course about?

It will involve reading aloud in Welsh and discussing, which will help consolidate grammar patterns learnt on City Lit Welsh courses, as well as broadening vocabulary, pronunciation, and intonation of whole phrases.

What will we cover?

Students will start reading 'Cawl a straeon eraill' (see further details below).

What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...

have a wider vocabulary.
have improved pronunciation.
have had an introduction to Welsh literature.

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

This reading club is for learners at Level 4, i.e. those who have studied for about 5 years. The club uses material at CEFR level B2.

Choose a level 4 course if you can:
- understand authentic, long passages of some complexity (e.g., interviews, adverts, news broadcasts, etc),
- participate in authentic conversation with native speakers using a good range of generally accurate language,
argue a viewpoint convincingly,
- understand authentic texts with relative ease (e.g., articles from the press, literary extracts, etc).

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

- Preparation for each class: You will have to read one chapter prior to the class to familiarise yourself with the text.

- Work in class: You will look at the chapter read in more detail (vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar…) with the tutor and/or the other students through pair and small group discussion.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

Students will need a copy of 'Cawl a straeon eraill' published by Lolfa (ISBN: 978-1784616168).

When I've finished, what course can I do next?

City Lit offers a range of in-person and online Welsh classes, workshops and reading groups.
Your tutor will advise you on your next steps.
