The emphasis will be on oral Welsh, although you will be introduced to electronic resources in order to improve your written Welsh.

Year 2: the module will introduce you to skills that are specific to Welsh or bilingual workplaces. You will be given a variety of tasks based on work such as presenting in Welsh and translating from Welsh to English, relevant to your degree course. You will have opportunities to improve your spoken and written Welsh.
