该项目的重点是如何在幼儿教育部门实施威尔士新课程。由于它将语言学习和教学集中在一个单一的学习和经验领域，该课程旨在培养“在多语言世界中的双语威尔士公民”，他们能够使用威尔士语、英语和至少一种国际语言，符合威尔士政府的“全球未来”战略。混合方法的方法将被用来探索1）什么样的做法可以有效地鼓励年轻的学习者发展为双语和多语种的扬声器;和2）什么样的学习可以从现代威尔士和代表性不足的群体的不同人口的语言和文化身份之间的相互作用。将提供适当的培训，并寻求伦理批准，以确保研究人员的安全和遵守相关政策和程序。

The project focuses on how the New Curriculum for Wales will be implemented in the Early Years sector. As it brings together language learning and teaching in a single Area of Learning and Experience, the Curriculum aims to create 'citizens of a bilingual Wales in a multilingual world' who are able to use Welsh, English and at least one international language, in line with the Welsh Government's 'Global Futures' strategy. A mixed-methods approach will be used to explore 1) what practices may effectively encourage young learners to develop as bilingual and multilingual speakers; and 2) what learnings may be drawn from the interplay between the linguistic and cultural identities of the diverse populations of modern Wales and its underrepresented groups. Appropriate training will be offered and ethical approval will be sought to ensure researcher safety and compliance with relevant policies and procedures.
