What is the course about?
The course is for advanced level students and native speakers aims to encourage students to use their Welsh in a friendly atmosphere; there will be plenty of opportunities to develop your communicative skills and to add a polish to your Welsh. A wide range of specialist vocabulary will be introduced. Students will be introduced to the literary language through modern Welsh literature, articles, etc. and to various aspects of Welsh language, history and culture. New students are welcome to join at the start of each term.
What will we cover?
Colloquial Welsh by Gareth King will be our basis for language work; we will also read a modern novel and some poetry; although the tutors will also use their own materials.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
- use expressions of time
- talk about interests
- talk about work and leisure.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
Stage 4 - students should have an advanced knowledge of Welsh and have completed Welsh 4: Module 1 and Module 2, or have equivalent experience. 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). It is essential that you have knowledge of more complex grammar terminology.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material.
Homework is highly recommended to consolidate learning.
