Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol Resource Portal

This toolkit contains information about practical resources, programmes and apps that staff can use to improve their Welsh and to improve their learner's Welsh. The website is completely bilingual and suitable for everyone, whatever their Welsh language skills.

A podcast that discusses aspects of education that help pupils along the road to becoming Welsh speakers, in the context of the target to reach a million Welsh speakers by 2050.  The podcast will appeal to anyone completing a teacher training course, newly qualified teachers, or anyone who’s already part of the education workforce. It’s also likely to be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about the role of the education system in reaching a million Welsh speakers. It is also an excellent resource to support the Welsh Language Competency Framework for Education Practitioners.

Visit our ATV training centre, where you will learn about the dangers of riding ATVs. Finally, you can gain experience working with animals in a safe and controlled environment, learning about the risks associated with handling livestock.

The aim of this resource is to introduce language awareness within health and social care to higher education students and professional practitioners.

Its main objective is to build students' confidence in using their Welsh with patients and colleagues in the NHS.

This resource has been developed for higher education students (level 4+) who are studying any health and care subject and intend to go on to pursue a career in the field. It is also suitable for professional practitioners and can be used as part of continual professional development.

Except for Unit 1, each unit follows a specific patient pathway to show how different professions intertwine and have an impact on the experience of the patient or service user. You can work through the whole package in order or pick and choose specific units. The units can be taught in the classroom or studied independently.

Most of the units present Welsh words, phrases and terminology to use with patients and staff. Although this vocabulary will be familiar to students who already speak Welsh, they are encouraged to consider how to share and teach the vocabulary to their peers. As a result, this content is suitable for all students, regardless of their Welsh ability.

Choose Lefel A Cymraeg is a Welsh Government funded campaign that aims to encourage more young learners to study Welsh A-Level by providing promotional assets to raise awareness around the endless benefits the language has on your academic, cultural and working life.

The campaign, launched by Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol and Welsh Government, includes content that can be used by teachers and schools to engage learners, parents and carers in the Welsh language and A-Level course by:

• Highlighting that Welsh A-Level opens doors to a wealth of university pathways
• Emphasising the variety of careers and industries where Welsh is a highly-valued skill
• Giving an insight into the breadth and variety of the Welsh A-Level curriculum
• Showcasing Welsh A-Level as a modern, creative and relevant subject
• Inviting learners to join a thriving community of Welsh speakers that are passionate about their culture, heritage and the Welsh language

Resources include:

• Visual content: instazines, profile cards, quotes, Q+A cards, search-it posts
• Videos
• Posters
• Social media assets (GIFs)
• School toolkit

The resources can be used and shared digitally or in print, on social media or by incorporating them into presentations and prospectuses.

All content is available bilingually for download via the Dropbox link below.
