Evaluation of Welsh language programme for English medium primary schools in Wales

这项研究旨在评估一项由领先的语言课程提供商在英语小学推出的威尔士语课程，该课程名为“用威尔士语说点什么”(Say Something In Welsh)(与国家威尔士学习中心合作)。它还旨在探讨学生的熟练程度、社会经济地位和他们继续说威尔士语和学习威尔士语的动机之间的关系。研究涉及三种方法：i)基于学校的整群随机对照试验；ii)对学习者的20次访谈；iii)对教师的调查。样本将包括威尔士地区讲威尔士语的比例最低的新兴市场学校，学校将根据当地议会地区和社会经济构成进行分层。这将确保这些领域有平等的代表性，并考虑到社会经济背景。注意到了研究年轻人和学校内部的伦理考虑，并提到了BERA和SOCSI的伦理准则/措施。将遵循孤独研究人员的协议。

The research aims to evaluate a Welsh language programme rolled out in English Medium (EM) primary schools by the leading language course provider called 'Say Something In Welsh' (a collaboration with the National Centre for Learning Welsh). It further aims to explore the relationship between students' proficiency, socio-economic status, and their motivation to continue speaking and learning Welsh. The research involves three methods: i) school based Cluster Randomised Control Trials; ii) twenty interviews with learners iii) a survey of teaching staff. The sample will include EM schools located in the regions of Wales with the lowest proportion of Welsh speakers and schools will be stratified by local council area and socio-economic composition. This will ensure that these areas are equally represented, and that socio-economic background is taken into account. The ethical considerations of researching young people and within schools are noted and BERA and SOCSI ethical guidelines/measures made reference to. Lone researcher protocols will be followed.
