Description
The Education and Welsh joint honours degree will enable students to specialise in both subjects, developing a range and mix of skills and knowledge which will enhance their future career prospects. The programme is intended for students who wish to develop their understanding and command of the Welsh Language and consider a broad spectrum of education theory and practice.
Designed for First Language Welsh speakers, our BA (Hons) Education and Welsh programme considers:
Education in a wide context, not just within formal primary and secondary school settings, but also Further/Higher Education, social services, local and national government, and education within the community.
The Welsh language, its literature and culture. Students will develop their proficiency in both written and oral work, and expand their vocabulary and command of the Welsh language through discussion of Welsh literature and culture from history right through to the present day. Students will study attitudes towards minority languages, the aims and success of language legislation in the 20th and 21st century, the factors that influence language regeneration, syntax and linguistics, the role of the translator, and good practice in translation.
Consequently, graduates will develop the skills and knowledge to design and evaluate education processes, curriculum and programmes, and will be well placed to inform the practice and delivery of Welsh education.
Research Focused: Students will be equipped with a solid grounding in Welsh language, literature and culture, as well as contemporary theories and conceptual models of education as applied to local, national and international practice. Students will develop the research skills needed to critically evaluate current education practice and policy, and in turn, inform future policy development in a rapidly changing political and social environment.
