Prosiect Cronfa Dysgu Proffesiynol Cydweithredol (PLF) yn Dathlu Ymarfer Da Mewn Cynhadledd Diwedd Blwyddyn
Daeth chwedeg tiwtor o bum sefydliad ynghyd i ddathlu llwyddiant y prosiect Cydweithredol PLF ar ddysgu ac addysgu dwyieithog, mewn cynhadledd wedi ei harwain gan Grŵp Llandrillo Menai a Chanolfan Sgiliaith.
Trefnwyd y Gynhadledd "Rhannu Ymarfer Da", a gynhaliwyd ar 27 Mehefin 2023 yn y Metropole yn Llandrindod, gyda'r nod o ddathlu dwyieithrwydd o fewn y byd addysg bellach a dysgu cymunedol, gan ddwyn at ei gilydd ymarferwyr o'r sefydliadau partner - yn ogystal â sefydliadau allweddol eraill - i rannu gwybodaeth, ymarfer da a syniadau, ac i ddarparu cyfleoedd i rwydweithio ac adeiladu perthnasau proffesiynol. Dros y tair blynedd diwethaf, mae'r Prosiect Cydweithredol PLF ar Ddwyieithrwydd, wedi ei ariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru, wedi canolbwyntio ar ddysgu ac addysgu dwyieithog a sut i symud y ddarpariaeth i fyny'r continwwm dwyieithog (LLWR LA26). Mae'r prosiect wedi tyfu o nerth i nerth, gan greu cyfleoedd i diwtoriaid ar draws y sefydliadau partner - Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, Coleg Gwent, Addysg Oedolion Cymru, Coleg Merthyr a Choleg Pen-y-bont i ddatblygu eu harferion addysgu dwyieithog drwy amrywiaeth o brosiectau datblygu staff, gan gynnwys: creu pecyn o e-adnoddau ac apiau e.e. Pecyn Cefnogi Tiwtoriaid ar gyfer Dysgu ac Addysgu Dwyieithog ac Ap Adborth Sgiliaith, sesiynau hyfforddi staff, cynlluniau cyfnewid staff, cynllun bydi a chyfarfodydd rhwydweithio proffesiynol. Rhoddodd Rhian Tomos, Darlithydd Mewn Astudiaethau Plentyndod ac Ieuenctid yn Mhrifysgol Bangor a Chyfarwyddwr Materion Cymreig ar gyfer Coleg y Gwyddorau Dynol, araith agoriadol ysbrydoledig, gan osod y cywair ar gyfer y dydd. Trafododd Rhian faterion allweddol yn ymwneud gyda dysgu ac addysgu dwyieithog, gan ganolbwyntio yn bennaf ar y pwysigrwydd o gefnogi dysgwyr i ennill hyder i ddefnyddio Cymraeg yn eu hastudiaethau. Roedd y rhaglen ar gyfer gweddill y dydd yn cynnwys cymysgedd o siaradwyr gwadd, gan gynnwys siaradwyr o'r pum sefydliad partner, gan gynnwys:
Caeodd Efa Gruffudd Jones, Comisiynydd yr Iaith Gymraeg y gynhadledd gyda fideo wedi ei baratoi a oedd yn pwysleisio'r rôl allweddol sydd gan y sector ôl-16, i gynyddu'r defnydd o'r iaith Gymraeg mewn addysg, a thu hwnt. Rhoddodd Efa ddiweddariad ar newidiadau i ddeddfwriaeth ac arferion yn y sector. Dywedodd Meggan Lloyd Prys, Rheolwr Prosiect Cydweithredol PLF ar gyfer Grŵp Llandrillo Menai/Sgiliaith: " Wedi blynyddoedd o weithio a chydweithredu ar-lein, bu'n bleser trefnu a chroesawu chwedeg aelod o staff o'r sefydliadau partner i'r gynhadledd. Hoffwn ddiolch i bawb a fynychodd y gynhadledd, i'r siaradwyr am eu cyfraniadau gwerthfawr a'r sefydliadau partner am eu cydweithrediad a'u gwaith diflino dros y tair blynedd diwethaf. Gobeithio bydd y bartneriaeth yn parhau yn y flwyddyn academaidd nesaf." Mae Sgiliaith yn Ganolfan Genedlaethol, wedi ei lleoli o fewn Grwp Llandrillo Menai, sydd yn arbenigo mewn cyngor ymarferol ar ymarfer da, adnoddau a hyfforddiant staff i wella sgiliau a phrofiadau dysgwyr.

The ‘Sharing Good Practice’ Conference, held on the 27th June 2023 at the Metropole in Llandrindod, was arranged with the aim of celebrating bilingualism within the world of further education and community learning, and bringing together practitioners from the partner organisations - as well as other key organisations - to share information, good practice and ideas, and to provide opportunities to network and build professional relationships. Over the past three years, the Bilingualism PLF Collaborative Project, funded by the Welsh Government, has focused on bilingual teaching and learning and how to move provision up the bilingual (LLWR LA26) continuum. The project has grown from strength to strength, creating opportunities for tutors’ across the partner organisations - Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, Coleg Gwent, Adult Learning Wales, Penybont College and Merthyr Tydfil College, to develop their bilingual teaching skills through a variety of staff development projects, including: creating a package of e-resources and apps e.g. Tutor Support Package for Bilingual Teaching and Learning and Ap Adborth Sgiliaith, staff training sessions, staff exchanges, a buddy scheme and professional networking meetings. Rhian Tomos, Lecturer in Childhood and Youth Studies at Bangor University and the Director of Welsh Matters for the College of Human Sciences, gave an inspirational opening speech, setting the tone for the day. Rhian discussed key matters surrounding bilingual teaching and learning, focusing mainly on the importance of supporting learners to gain confidence to use Welsh in their studies. The programme for the rest of the day included a mixture of guest speakers, including speakers from the five partner organisations, including:
Efa Gruffudd Jones, Welsh Language Commissioner closed the conference with a prepared video which emphasised the key role the post-16 sector has to increase the use of the Welsh language in education, and beyond. Efa also gave an update on changes to legislation and practices in the sector. Meggan Lloyd Prys, PLF Collaborative Project Manager for Grŵp Llandrillo Menai and Sgiliaith, said: “After years of working and collaborating on-line, it’s been a pleasure to organise and welcome sixty members of staff from the partner organisations to the conference. We would like to thank everyone who attended the conference, the speakers for their valuable contributions and the partner organisations for their collaboration and tireless work over the last three years. We hope the partnership will continue in the next academic year.” Sgiliaith is a national centre, located within Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, that specialises in practical advice on good practice, resources and staff training to improve learners' bilingual skills and experiences.
