Course content
There’s a lot of variety in the course, from studying Welsh films, Welsh history and culture, poetry and short stories, to social media and the Welsh language in daily life.
At A Level, your course will consist of three modules:
- CA4 - an oral exam in a group of three discussing a modern Welsh play studied during the year in class
- CA5 - a written paper in which candidates will discuss the Welsh language and its use in everyday life – in politics, education, the workplace and the media. This will be a continuation of the work done for the coursework in the AS course. Read an English article and summarise it in Welsh
- CA6 – another written paper in which candidates include grammar exercises based on responding to an email or correcting another person 's work; analysing the content and style of one of the four short stories studied in class; discussing a theme in the story which can also be found in other work studied over the two years
Entry Requirements
To enter this course, you’ll need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, including English Language, Maths/Maths Numeracy and Grade C in Welsh Second Language which may include the full or short course.
