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
Critical analysis of content, viewpoint, language, form and structure
Exam cue: Confirm the current WJEC route, unit, task and assessment control before choosing a reading, writing or speaking strategy.
Concept 2
Questioning, clarification, gathering ideas and collaborative development
Exam cue: Use a question to open a genuine line of discussion, then connect the answer back to a stimulus or researched fact.
Concept 3
Relevant social, cultural, geographical or historical research and source evaluation
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
Asking closed questions that do not develop the discussion or citing research without checking its relevance and reliability.
Guardrail: Do not translate away the assessed Welsh, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.
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.
