In October 2015, the previous Welsh Government published Global futures: A plan to improve and promote modern foreign languages in Wales 2015–2020\. This plan was the government’s response to the decline over the last 10 years in the take\-up of modern foreign languages in Wales.  

  

Today, I am publishing a report into the second year of the plan. Working with partners from across the sector, including; the four regional education consortia, language institutes, universities in Wales, Estyn, the British Council, the Open University, Confucius Institutes, BBC Wales, Routes into Languages Cymru, and the teaching profession, progress has been made in implementing the vision of Global futures.    

  

Particular highlights from the second year include:


* the success of the Welsh Government funded Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) Student Mentoring Scheme, managed by Cardiff University. Independent evaluation has confirmed that the mentoring scheme is significantly increasing the numbers of pupils studying languages at GCSE. The increase during phase 1 was 57%. In phase 2, this was 50%, and included a far larger cohort of mentees.  As recognition of their achievements, the project was awarded the prestigious Threlford Cup by the Chartered Institute of Linguistics in November, as an outstanding project supporting languages in schools;
* the establishment of the Goethe\-Institut and Spanish Embassy Education Office presence at Cardiff University’s School of Modern Foreign Languages through funding from Welsh Government;
* the increase in those learning Mandarin in Wales from 5,261 in 2015/16 to 6,941 school pupils in 2016/17\. The number of Confucius Classrooms in Wales has also increased from 13 to 19\.
* success at the German Teacher Awards 2017, where 2 of the 3 winners were teachers from South Wales’ EAS Consortium, recognised as having made an outstanding and dedicated contribution to German teaching;
* continuing school\-to\-school support to partner primary and secondary schools from the Lead Schools/Curriculum Hub Schools; and
* the range of MFL resources created and shared on Hwb, and virtual MFL networks for each of the regional education consortia.

Ym mis Hydref 2015, cyhoeddodd cyn Lywodraeth Cymru Dyfodol byd\-eang: Cynllun i wella a hyrwyddo ieithoedd tramor modern yng Nghymru 2015\-2020\. Y cynllun hwn oedd ymateb y llywodraeth i’r lleihad a welwyd dros y 10 mlynedd diwethaf yn y niferoedd sy’n astudio ieithoedd tramor modern yng Nghymru.   
  
Heddiw, rwyf yn cyhoeddi adroddiad ar ail flwyddyn y cynllun. Gan weithio gyda phartneriaid o bob rhan o’r sector, gan gynnwys; y pedwar consortiwm addysg rhanbarthol, sefydliadau iaith, prifysgolion yng Nghymru, Estyn, British Council, y Brifysgol Agored, Sefydliadau Confucius, BBC Cymru, Llwybrau at Ieithoedd Cymru, a’r proffesiwn addysgu, mae cynnydd wedi cael ei wneud i wireddu gweledigaeth Dyfodol Byd\-eang.    
  
Mae uchafbwyntiau penodol yr ail flwyddyn yn cynnwys:  


 * llwyddiant Cynllun Mentora Myfyrwyr Ieithoedd Tramor Modern, a noddir gan Lywodraeth Cymru ac a reolir gan Brifysgol Caerdydd. Mae gwerthusiad annibynnol wedi cadarnhau bod y cynllun mentora yn cynyddu nifer y disgyblion sy’n astudio ieithoedd ar lefel TGAU yn sylweddol. Gwelwyd cynnydd o 57% yn ystod cam 1\. Yn ystod cam 2, y ganran oedd 50%, ond gyda charfan lawer mwy o ddisgyblion yn cael eu mentora. Er mwyn cydnabod eu cyflawniadau, enillodd y prosiect Gwpan Threlford y Sefydliad Siartredig Ieithyddiaeth ym mis Tachwedd, fel prosiect eithriadol sy’n cefnogi ieithoedd mewn ysgolion;
* sefydlu presenoldeb Goethe\-Institut a Swyddfa Addysg Llysgenhadaeth Sbaen yn Ysgol Ieithoedd Tramor Modern Prifysgol Caerdydd drwy gyllid gan Lywodraeth Cymru;
* y cynnydd yn nifer y rhai sy’n dysgu Mandarin yng Nghymru o 5,261 yn 2015/6 i 6,941 o ddisgyblion ysgol yn 2016/17\. Mae nifer yr Ystafelloedd Dosbarth Confucius yng Nghymru wedi cynyddu o 13 i 19\.
* llwyddiant yng Ngwobrau Athrawon Almaeneg 2017, lle roedd dau o’r tri enillydd yn athrawon o Gonsortiwm EAS De Cymru, y cydnabuwyd eu bod wedi gwneud cyfraniad eithriadol ac ymroddedig i addysgu Almaeneg;
* cymorth ysgol i ysgol yn parhau i bartneru ysgolion cynradd ac uwchradd o blith yr Ysgolion Arweiniol/Ysgolion Hwb Cwricwlwm;
* yr amrywiaeth o adnoddau ar gyfer ieithoedd tramor modern a grëwyd ac a rannwyd ar Hwb, a rhwydweithiau ieithoedd tramor modern rhithwir ar gyfer pob un o’r consortia addysg rhanbarthol.
