This document provides on overview of the support available for Welsh in English-medium schools through Universal, Targeted and Bespoke  provision.

The link will take you to key language for practitioners to use in other subjects, such as Mathematics, Science, P.E. and Expressive Arts as well as a generic mat. Each language pattern is translated for reference and the mats are accompanied by short videos to support pronunciation and practice. Most of the language acquired may be recycled and applied to other contexts. The idea is to learn step by step.  Linking patterns together over time will provide practitioners with a vast repertoire of language that will provide good modelling for learners  during the school day, across different areas of learning and experience and contexts.

The EAS Welsh language continuum is a resource to support the progressive planning, teaching and learning of Welsh in the secondary setting and for transition. The language functions and associated language patterns may be revisited and recycled in different contexts at different levels of sophistication, according to the pupil's stage and progress in the language. Consolidating key language patterns to allow building and extending is key to develop pupils' confidence when speaking Welsh inside and outside the classroom.

The progression map support the oracy development of all pupils. It focuses on key patterns from the continuum and enables pupils to ask and answer questions, engage in conversational Welsh. It provides scaffolding for pupils to learn and practice the appropriate sentence patterns in line with their ability and allows  pupils to see how they can develop and grow increasingly more sophisticated.
