Training
through the Medium of Welsh
Teachers seeking training through the medium of Welsh will be
accommodated by the partnership. Whilst for economic reasons it
is not likely that the partnership will produce a full range of
OFL support materials and online materials in Welsh, it is envisaged
that materials will be purchased from providers, and that some
creation of culture and environment specific material will be
internally commissioned. It
will be possible to undertake delivery through the medium of Welsh
using current partnership expertise. It is in the nature of Welsh
bilinguality that some teachers will be comfortable with using
English language e-resources and prefer to discuss with tutors
through the medium of Welsh. Along with the undertaking to purchase
materials and internally commission on a needs basis, the partnership
is satisfied that this will enable it effectively to deliver a
service to those teachers who prefer to work wholly or in part
through the medium of Welsh.
Numbers
of Teachers
Please refer to the table above.
The
Starting Date for Training
The partnership proposes to start training in April/May 1999.
Operating
Conditions
The partnership does not propose any conditions on which training
depends. It does intend to encourage all teachers in a school
(Primary) or department (Secondary) to commit to training with
the partnership, but this will not be a condition of the offer.
School
Librarians
The partnership is not currently bidding to offer training to
school librarians, but would consider this in future.
