Course content
At the beginning of the course, we go back to basics and learn each tense from scratch in order to eliminate errors which can cost marks when you get to A Level.
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 AS Level there are three modules:
- CA1 - an oral exam in a group of three, discussing a Welsh film, 'Patagonia' and other films and television programmes.
- CA2 - coursework based on Welsh people past and current who’ve made an impact on Welsh life and the Welsh language.
- CA3 - a written paper which includes correcting common grammatical errors, changing a short paragraph from one tense to another or from the first person to the third, writing a Welsh letter in response to a job advertisement, appreciating one of the five poems studied during the year.
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.
