What is the course about?

Ydych chi'n astudio Cymraeg ers 5 mlynedd ac am symud tu hwnt i sesiynau sy’n canolbwyntio ar lyfrau cwrs yn unig? Mae’r dosbarth hwn, sy’n seiliedig ar y dull cyfathrebol, yn defnyddio amrywiaeth o destunau a fideos difyr i feithrin sgyrsiau diddorol yn y Gymraeg. Byddwch yn ymarfer rhoi a gofyn am farn ar faterion cyfoes o Gymru a thu hwnt. Bydd pwyslais ar gaffael a defnyddio geirfa uwch ac ar ddefnyddio brawddegau fwyfwy cymhleth.

Bydd pob sesiwn yn cynnwys ffocws gramadegol (wedi’i ategu gan dasgau gwaith cartref wythnosol), ond y prif ffocws fydd ar siarad ac ar ddefnyddio’r Gymraeg ar lafar. 

 

 

What will we cover?

- tafodieithoedd Cymraeg
- Chwedlau 
- Cymry enwog
- Cymru a'r byd
- Papurau bro and local news

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

- recognise features of Northern and Southern Welsh dialects
- use increasingly complex sentences
- respond to a variety of authentic texts in Welsh
- negotiate situations in which you don't fully understand without switching to English
- recognise key differences between formal written and spoken Welsh

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

Students should have actively studied Welsh for 5 years.
You should be confident with the basic word orders of Welsh and know how to form accurate sentences in the present, past and future. You should be able to accurately answer “yes” and “no” (using the different forms of the verb ‘to be’).
This course is 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 ease (e.g., articles from the press, literary extracts, 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?

This course is based on the tutor's own material. It also makes use of authentic texts (short and long form news and magazine articles), copies of which will be provided via Google Classroom. Students will also be actively encouraged to source their own material for class discussion. 

Your tutor will also recommend accompanying homework exercises (digital copies of which will be provided via Google Classroom).

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