Welsh-Medium Teaching in Psychology

Teaching psychology through the medium of Welsh is a new development. It raises important issues relating to methods of teaching the subject, and derives from the desire to provide practising psychologists with the training to be able to better serve the Welsh-speaking population of Wales. This paper outlines the problems with Welsh provision that psychologists are able to offer at present. It provides examples of how the Welsh-speaking population is currently at a disadvantage, and proposes that the development of Welsh-medium teaching offers one way of addressing the problem.
