Yn galw ar athrawon Ieithoedd Rhyngwladol!

Ymunwch â ni dros Zoom ddydd Mercher 22 Ebrill 4.00 - 4.45pm i gwrdd â chyd-athrawon a dysgu mwy am ein cyrsiau a'n hadnoddau dysgu proffesiynol rhad ac am ddim i’ch helpu i gynnwys llenyddiaeth yn eich gwersi #IeithoeddRhyngwladol.

"Am Gwrs DP gwych. Fe wnes i fwynhau’r sesiynau’n fawr; roedden nhw wedi’u trefnu’n dda, ac yn hynod ddifyr ac effeithiol. Mae’r deunyddiau a’r adnoddau hyfforddi’n ardderchog. Dw i eisoes wedi dechrau gwneud hyn gyda dau ddosbarth ac mae’r canlyniadau wedi bod yn anhygoel – caneuon, rapiau a llawer o gyfieithiadau creadigol gwych.”

"What a fantastic PL. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, which were well organised, enjoyable and impactful. The training materials and resources are excellent. I’ve already got started with two classes and outcomes have been amazing – songs, raps and lots of fantastic creative translations."
