Yma yn Llwybrau at Ieithoedd Cymru rydym yn ymwybodol fod y nifer o ddisgyblion sy’n dewis ITM ar gyfer CA4 a thu hwnt yn gostwng. Rydym ni yma i wneud popeth y gallwn i helpu newid y sefyllfa ac i ddangos i bobl ifanc y pwysigrwydd o allu siarad iaith arall.

Gwyddom fod athrawon eisoes yn gweithio’n galed iawn i hyrwyddo dysgu ieithoedd, a hoffwn i gael y disgyblion yn rhan o hyn hefyd. Pwy allai fod yn well yn hyrwyddo ieithoedd o fewn yr ysgol/coleg na’r disgyblion sydd wedi dewis eu hastudio yn barod?

Mae cyllideb ar gael gan Lwybrau Cymru i gefnogi ysgolion i gynnwys pobl ifanc mewn prosiectau a fydd yn codi proffil ITM ac yn cynorthwyo i godi nifer y disgyblion sy’n dewis ieithoedd yn eu hysgolion/colegau.

I drafod prosiectau posib neu am wybodaeth bellach, cysylltwch â thîm Llwybrau Cymru ar routescymru@ciltcymru.org.uk neu 029 2026 5410.

Os hoffech weld enghreifftiau o brosiectau sydd wedi cael eu hariannu gennym, cliciwch yma.

Here at Routes Cymru we are aware of the declining numbers of pupils opting to take an MFL at KS4 and beyond. We are here to do everything we can to help change this situation and to show young people the importance of being able to speak another language.

We know that teachers are already working very hard to promote language learning, and we want to get the pupils involved too. Who could be better at promoting languages within the school/college than the pupils who have already opted to study them?
 

Routes Cymru has funding available to support schools in involving young people in projects that will raise the profile of MFL and help increase the take-up of languages in their schools/colleges.

To discuss potential projects or for more information, please contact the Routes Cymru team on routescymru@ciltcymru.org.uk or 029 2026 5410.

To view examples of projects we have funded, please click here.

Cawsom lawr o hwyl yn rhedeg y gystadleuaeth hon eleni a chafodd y disgyblion a gymerodd ran hwyl hefyd yn ogystal â gwella eu geirfa a sillafu yn aruthrol mewn iaith newydd. Gobeithiwn y gallwn weithio gyda hyd yn oed fwy o ysgolion eleni er mwyn cael cystadleuaeth mor gyffrous ag y bo modd!
