English: I am most eager to ensure that we don't wait until the new curriculum is introduced, because I don't wish to lose another generation of children who won't have the opportunity to receive a good education in Welsh as a second language. And so we must improve on the status quo, because you can have 13 years of Welsh lessons and come out at the other end speaking very little Welsh. So, we need to look at that, and that is why, last Friday, we held a symposium in Swansea by bringing experts together. We asked for a report from Swansea University and the University of Reading. They presented their ideas on how we can improve the methods of teaching a second language and what is the best practice throughout the world. Lots of people from all over Wales came together - those who are training through the medium of Welsh - and they were very pleased because this progressed Professor Sioned Davies's report. She attended the meeting, and what she was saying was, 'Now there is evidence behind what I was recommending years ago'. So, today, I have requested a follow-up to know exactly what will now happen as a result of that symposium. We know exactly what needs to be done. We do know that we need to improve the teaching of Welsh as a second language. One of our greatest problems, of course, is to ensure that we have sufficient good Welsh teachers and tutors. So, although you would wish to see Laura McAllister's ideas coming to fruition, the fact is we don't have a sufficient number of teachers, and so we need to take this incrementally and ensure that we have a sufficient number of Welsh teachers and tutors. We are making a substantial effort in that regard, and we're giving additional funding of £5,000 to people who are training through the medium of Welsh.
Welsh: Rydw i'n awyddus iawn i sicrhau nad ŷm ni'n aros tan bod y cwricwlwm newydd yn cael ei gyflwyno. Nid wyf i eisiau colli cenhedlaeth arall o blant sydd ddim yn cael y cyfle o gael addysg dda Cymraeg fel ail iaith. Felly, mae'n rhaid i ni wella'r hyn sy'n digwydd ar hyn o bryd. Rŷch chi'n gallu cael 13 mlynedd o wersi Cymraeg a dod mas yn siarad bron â bod ychydig iawn. Felly, mae angen i ni edrych ar hynny, a dyna pam, ddydd Gwener diwethaf, fe wnaethom ni gynnal symposiwm yn Abertawe, trwy ddod ag arbenigwyr at ei gilydd. Fe wnaethom ni ofyn am adroddiad oddi wrth Brifysgol Abertawe a Phrifysgol Reading. Fe wnaethon nhw gyflwyno eu syniadau nhw ynglŷn â sut rŷm ni'n gwella'r ffordd o ddysgu ail iaith a beth yw'r practis gorau drwy'r byd. Fe ddaeth lot o bobl o ar draws Cymru at ei gilydd - pobl sydd yn hyfforddi trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg - ac roedden nhw'n falch iawn. Roedd hwn yn symud adroddiad Sioned Davies ymlaen. Roedd hi yn y cyfarfod, a beth oedd yn ddiddorol oedd mai beth roedd hi'n ei ddweud oedd, 'Nawr mae tystiolaeth y tu ôl i'r peth yr oeddwn i'n gofyn amdano'. Felly, rwyf i wedi gofyn heddiw am follow-up i wybod yn union nawr beth sydd yn mynd i ddigwydd fel canlyniad i'r symposiwm yna. Rydym ni'n gwybod yn union beth sydd angen cael ei wneud nawr. Rŷm ni'n gwybod bod angen gwella dysgu'r Gymraeg fel ail iaith. Un o'n problemau mwyaf, wrth gwrs, yw sicrhau bod digon o athrawon da gyda ni. Felly, er ei fod yn syniad y byddwch chi eisiau ei weld - syniadau Laura McAllister - y ffaith yw na fyddai digon o athrawon gennym ni ar hyn o bryd. Mae'n rhaid i ni gamu a sicrhau bod nifer o bobl yn hyfforddi gyda ni drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Rŷm ni'n gwneud ymdrech mawr gyda hynny trwy roi £5,000 ychwanegol i bobl, yn dechrau ym mis Medi, i hyfforddi i ddysgu trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.
