English: I think there's work that needs to be done in terms of language categorisation, we need to do some work on creating a strategy for the teaching of Welsh as a second language, and we need a clear strategy in terms of how we increase the number of young people who are eager to be trained as teachers. But there's been a great deal of attention given to training teachers able to teach through the medium of Welsh; what we don't discuss is what we do about those who are trained to teach through the medium of English and their awareness of language and enabling them to acquire skills in terms of teaching Welsh. This isn't just a matter of the Welsh language; learning languages within schools in the UK is a cause for concern in the first instance. If you compare the skills levels that are delivered in terms of language learning in the UK, as well as Wales, be that French, German or Welsh, there is something that needs to change and it needs to be changed very swiftly. So I think that we need an acknowledgment from Government in the first instance of the scale of the task and robust steps in terms of what needs to be delivered and when. All I can do is to highlight my concerns. It's a matter for politicians and civil servants to then draw up a plan. But what I'm saying at the moment is that I don't think that this issue in terms of teaching Welsh in English-medium schools is being given due attention. If 'Cymraeg 2050' does happen and we are hoping to get at least 50 per cent of those pupils in the English-medium sector fluent in Welsh by the time they get to 16, then we need far more action than we are currently seeing.
Welsh: Dwi'n meddwl bod yna waith sydd ei angen o ran categoreiddio ieithyddol, mae yna waith sydd ei angen o ran creu strategaeth ar gyfer dysgu Cymraeg fel ail iaith, ac mae yna hefyd angen strategaeth glir o ran sut rydyn ni'n cynyddu nifer y bobl ifanc sydd yn barod i gael eu hyfforddi fel athrawon. Ond hefyd mae lot o sylw yn cael ei roi o ran creu athrawon sydd yn medru addysgu drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg; beth dydyn ni ddim yn sôn amdano fo ydy beth rydyn ni'n ei wneud am y rhai hynny sy'n cael eu haddysgu i hyfforddi yn Saesneg a'u hymwybyddiaeth nhw o iaith a'u cefnogi nhw i gael sgiliau o ran dysgu Cymraeg. Nid jest mater o'r iaith Gymraeg ydy hyn, wrth gwrs; mae dysgu ieithoedd o fewn ysgolion ym Mhrydain yn destun pryder beth bynnag. Os ydych chi'n cymharu'r lefelau sgiliau sydd yn cael eu gwireddu o ran dysgu iaith ym Mhrydain, heblaw yng Nghymru, bydded hynny yn Ffrangeg, Almaeneg neu'r Gymraeg, mae yna rywbeth sydd angen ei newid, a'i newid yn gyflym iawn. Felly, dwi'n meddwl mai cydnabyddiaeth gan y Llywodraeth yn y lle cyntaf o faint y dasg a chynllun cadarn o ran beth sydd angen ei gyflawni a phryd. Y cwbl fedraf i ei wneud ydy tynnu sylw at fy mhryderon i. Mater i wleidyddion a gweision sifil ydy o i fynd ati ar ôl hynny o ran creu cynllun. Ond y cwbl rydw i'n ei ddweud ar hyn o bryd ydy dwi ddim yn meddwl bod y pwnc yma o ran addysgu'r Gymraeg o fewn ysgolion Saesneg yn cael digon o sylw. Ac os ydy 'Cymraeg 2050' yn digwydd a bod angen inni gael o leiaf 50 y cant o'r disgyblion yna o fewn y sector Saesneg yn rhugl yn y Gymraeg erbyn iddyn nhw ddod yn 16, mae angen llawer iawn mwy o weithredu na beth rydyn ni'n ei weld ar hyn o bryd.
