The project was established by Cyngor Gwynedd for pupils in Welsh\-language late immersion centres to develop their language skills. The council worked with former Welsh\-language Children’s Laureate Anni Llŷn and Anglesey\-based company Animated Technologies to create a game, Aberwla, tailored to the needs of pupils aged 7 to 14 who are learning Welsh.


Pupils use a VR headset, create a character, and explore the virtual village of Aberwla. They can visit the local supermarket where they must use their Welsh language skills to complete tasks and communicate with characters in the game.


The game is currently rolled out in five Welsh language immersion centres in Gwynedd, but soon other schools and immersion centres in other local authority areas across Wales will benefit from it. The funding will also help develop more locations in Aberwla for pupils to interact with – including a garage, a farm, and a gadget shop. Each location will have different characters with their own unique backgrounds, who teach different language patterns.


Immersion learning offers pupils who don’t speak Welsh the opportunity to learn the language and enter Welsh\-medium education. Aberwla demonstrates the innovative ways Welsh language learning is being developed to reach a million Welsh speakers by 2050\.


The Minister for Education and Welsh language, Jeremy Miles said:



> “Children and young people are the future of the Welsh language, so it’s great to see developments like Aberwla which put their needs and interests first.
> 
> 
> “It is my ambition for Wales to become an international leader in using digital technology to create a modern, bilingual society. Aberwla is an exciting development that allows pupils to learn Welsh through gaming. I look forward to seeing its rollout across Wales.”

> “When language centres were established here in Gwynedd forty years ago it was an innovative practice. Children new to the county spent one term in a language unit learning Welsh while taking an intensive immersion course. The Council's vision is equally innovative today in up\-to\-date immersive provision to ensure that our children and young people have rich, relevant, interesting experiences while getting to grips with the Welsh language.”

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi buddsoddi £6\.6 miliwn dros 3 blynedd i gefnogi darpariaeth trochi hwyr cyfrwng Cymraeg ledled Cymru. Mae’r prosiect, sydd â’r nod o gyflwyno’r gêm realiti rhithwir addysgol i ddisgyblion sy’n dysgu Cymraeg ledled Cymru, yn rhan o’r buddsoddiad hwn.


Sefydlwyd y prosiect gan Gyngor Gwynedd i ddisgyblion mewn canolfannau trochi hwyr er mwyn datblygu eu sgiliau Cymraeg. Gweithiodd y Cyngor gyda chyn Fardd Plant Cymru Anni Llŷn a chwmni Animated Technologies yn Ynys Môn i greu gêm, Aberwla, sy’n addas i anghenion disgyblion rhwng 7 a 14 oed sy’n dysgu Cymraeg.


Mae’r disgyblion yn defnyddio pensetiau VR, yn creu cymeriad, ac yn archwilio pentref rhithwir Aberwla. Gallant ymweld â’r archfarchnad leol lle mae rhaid iddynt ddefnyddio eu sgiliau Cymraeg i wneud tasgau a chyfathrebu â chymeriadau yn y gêm.


Mae’r gêm ar hyn o bryd wedi’i chyflwyno mewn pum canolfan drochi iaith Gymraeg yng Ngwynedd. Fodd bynnag, bydd ysgolion a chanolfannau trochi eraill mewn ardaloedd awdurdod lleol eraill ledled Cymru yn elwa arni yn fuan. Bydd y cyllid hefyd yn helpu i ddatblygu mwy o leoliadau y gall y disgyblion ryngweithio â nhw yn Aberwla, gan gynnwys garej, fferm a siop. Bydd gan bob lleoliad gymeriadau gwahanol gyda’u cefndiroedd unigryw eu hunain, a’r rheini yn addysgu gwahanol batrymau iaith.


Mae addysg drochi yn rhoi’r cyfle i ddisgyblion nad ydynt yn siarad Cymraeg ddysgu’r iaith a chael addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg. Mae Aberwla yn enghraifft o’r ffyrdd arloesol o ddysgu Cymraeg sy’n cael eu datblygu i gyrraedd miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050\.


Dywedodd Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg, Jeremy Miles:



> “Plant a phobl ifanc yw dyfodol y Gymraeg, felly mae’n wych gweld datblygiadau fel Aberwla sy’n blaenoriaethu eu hanghenion a’u diddordebau nhw.
> 
> 
> “Rwyf am weld Cymru yn arloesi o ran defnyddio technoleg ddigidol i greu cymdeithas fodern ddwyieithog. Mae Aberwla yn ddatblygiad cyffrous sy’n caniatáu i ddisgyblion ddysgu Cymraeg drwy gêm fideo. Edrychaf ymlaen at weld y prosiect yn cael ei gyflwyno ledled Cymru.”

> 
> 
> “Pan sefydlwyd canolfannau iaith yma yng Ngwynedd ddeugain mlynedd yn ôl roedd yn arfer arloesol. Treuliai plant oedd yn newydd i’r sir un tymor mewn uned iaith yn dysgu Cymraeg wrth ddilyn cwrs trochi dwys. Mae gweledigaeth y Cyngor yr un mor arloesol heddiw wrth gyfoesi’r ddarpariaeth drochi i sicrhau bod ein plant a’n pobl ifanc yn cael profiadau cyfoethog perthnasol a diddorol wrth gaffael y Gymraeg!”
