What is language?

The Curriculum for Wales requires teachers and learners to re-imagine their approach to languages, literacy and communication. In her lecture for the Hay Festival 2020, Mererid Hopwood asks what language is and, in answering the question, her words help us to better understand why the statements of what matters in this Area need to be addressed holistically. This resource is aimed at all teachers of Welsh, English and other languages.

Curriculum for Wales and this Learning and Experience Area have an important role in our ambition to achieve our national vision, aims and targets. 

Literacy skills enable learners to take advantage of the breadth of a school's curriculum and the wealth of opportunities it offers.

A mission Welsh speakers: a national vision for a bilingual Wales where young people leave the education system ready and proud  to use the language in every context, including the world of work.

Learning about languages ​​will support pupils to build on bilingual skills in order to develop multilingually as global citizens.
