"Am Gwrs DP gwych. Fe wnes i fwynhau’r sesiynau’n fawr; roedden nhw wedi’u trefnu’n dda, ac yn hynod ddifyr ac effeithiol. Mae’r deunyddiau a’r adnoddau hyfforddi’n ardderchog. Dw i eisoes wedi dechrau gwneud hyn gyda dau ddosbarth ac mae’r canlyniadau wedi bod yn anhygoel – caneuon, rapiau a llawer o gyfieithiadau creadigol gwych.” Cyfranogwr yn y cwrs DP uwchradd (Tymor y Gwanwyn 2026)

Yn galw ar athrawon Ieithoedd Rhyngwladol!

Ymunwch â ni dros Zoom ddydd Mercher 22 Ebrill 4.00 - 4.45pm i gwrdd â chyd-athrawon a dysgu mwy am ein cyrsiau a'n hadnoddau dysgu proffesiynol rhad ac am ddim i’ch helpu i gynnwys llenyddiaeth yn eich gwersi #IeithoeddRhyngwladol.

"What a fantastic PL. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, which were well organised, enjoyable and impactful. The training materials and resources are excellent. I’ve already got started with two classes and outcomes have been amazing – songs, raps and lots of fantastic creative translations." Secondary PL course participant (Spring Term 2026)

Beth mae ein hathrawon yn ei ddweud?​ Mae'r Wobr yn gynhwysol iawn a difyr iawn – doedd yr un o’r myfyrwyr yn teimlo wedi’u gadael allan.​ I'n myfyrwyr ni, mae cymryd rhan yn y gystadleuaeth hon wedi eu hysbrydoli, eu hysgogi ac wedi rhoi hwb i'w hyder.​ Roedd pawb yn yr adran yn dwlu ar yr adnoddau. ​D’yn ni ddim wedi cael un ymateb negyddol. ​Doeddwn i erioed wedi gwneud barddoniaeth efo Blwyddyn 7 o'r blaen. Allwn i ddim ddychmygu sut byddai'n gweithio. Bellach, dw i’n defnyddio adnoddau Anthea Bell i wneud hyn bob blwyddyn, ac mae pawb wrth eu boddau! ​Gyda’ch adnoddau sydd mor ddiddorol ac wedi'u cynllunio’n dda... rwy’n teimlo nad disgyblion Blwyddyn 8 sydd gen i, ond myfyrwyr Chweched Dosbarth.​

Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators | What do teachers say? | Engaging with this competition has been an inspirational, motivational ​ and confidence-boosting experience for our students. | It's just a great initiative in every way. It opens the world of languages to students beyond the confines of examination syllabi. | The Prize is very inclusive and engaging – no student felt excluded. | With the well-planned and engaging resources... I have the feeling that I don’t have Year 8 pupils in front of me, but Sixth Form students. | The Queen's College Translation Exchange
