How to use this English-interface Cymraeg guide

Read the strategy in English, then return to the Welsh source: quote and analyse its exact wording and produce every assessed response in accurate Cymraeg.

Core concepts

Concept 1

Logical sequence, paragraph cohesion and controlled development

Exam cue: Confirm the current WJEC route, unit, task and assessment control before choosing a reading, writing or speaking strategy.

Concept 2

Varied Welsh vocabulary, idiom, sentence pattern and register

Exam cue: Proofread at sentence and whole-text level, checking Welsh grammar and mutation as well as clarity and progression.

Concept 3

Accurate grammar, mutation, spelling and punctuation

Exam cue: Use the English guidance to plan the skill, but cite, analyse and produce the assessed response in accurate Welsh.

Risk pitfalls and guardrails

Focusing on decorative vocabulary while leaving tense, mutation, agreement or paragraph logic uncontrolled.

Guardrail: Practice cannot replace the live WJEC task, current series materials, centre controls, authentication, recording, marking or moderation.

Answering the assessed task in English or translating away the Welsh wording, quotation, register, grammar or literary effect being assessed.

Guardrail: Do not translate away the assessed Welsh, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.

Binding every learner to an optional centre-selected text, poem or stimulus, or combining Single and Double Award units into one route.

Guardrail: Use Units 1-3 plus 4a for Single or Units 1-3 plus 4b, 5 and 6 for Double; never add weights or tasks across routes.
