Medieval Welsh Texts 1 begins with an introduction to the basic grammar and syntax of Medieval Welsh, and proceeds to study Medieval Welsh texts with a continuing emphasis on language. Medieval Welsh Texts 2 starts by introducing students to the pronunciation of Medieval Welsh and developing reading skills in Medieval Welsh, and proceeds to study Medieval Welsh texts with a greater emphasis on content and context. During the first term there is co-ordination between the subject-matter studied each week in Medieval Welsh Texts 1 and Medieval Welsh Texts 2. |
