A response to a written statement by the Welsh Government; ‘Welsh second language within our curriculum’

Introduction
This paper is going to respond to a written statement by the Welsh government; ‘Welsh language within our curriculum’, specifically discussing Welsh Second Language.
In this paper, I will discuss the content set out by Huw Lewis AM, (Minister for Education and Skills) in his written statement; ‘Welsh Second language within our Curriculum’ giving my opinion and understanding of Welsh as a second language within the foundation stage and Key stage 2 education. I will support my discussion and knowledge with statements from other articles and reports such as the Donaldson Report Successful futures (2015) and Estyn annual reports.

The status of Welsh as a Second Language.
Within the written statement; Welsh Second Language within our curriculum (2015), Huw Lewis acknowledges …show more content…

Lewis (2015) outlines within the Welsh Government written statement that incorporated into one of the six areas of learning; Languages, Literacy and Communication, there will be a clear progression and different achievement outcomes specific to the learning of Welsh Language and skills. Donaldson, (2015) also encourages the learning of welsh within the report ‘Successful Futures.’ He recommends that the curriculum should have “Appropriate emphasis on the Welsh Language and culture.” (UWTSD, 2016). The writer of this paper also agrees with Donaldson and Lewis. However, the learning of the Welsh Language should, under recommendation of Professor Sioned Davies and agreement of Huw Lewis be incorporated throughout the full Six Areas of Learning where appropriate. (Lewis, 2015.) In the opinion of the writer this may support more of a natural learning of the Welsh language through a continuum for both learners and

The Scotch-Irish people were one of the numerous immigrants who looked for shelter and alleviation in America. The Scotch-Irish appeared in the mid-seventeenth century when the English government, on edge to dominate Ireland, removed Lowland Scots as pilgrims to the province of Ulster in northern Ireland. For around a century the Scotch-Irish squeezed out a living in Ireland, yet in the early piece of the eighteenth century their monetary condition endured a progression of grievous inversions. As a result, a flood of maybe five thousand Scotch-Irish moved to America in 1717. Before the end of the eighteenth century, four more influxes of Scotch-Irish withdrew Ireland for America and a few hundred thousand Ulstermen settled in about each area of the English provinces.

The oppressive past that the Scots-Irish faced in their home country optimalized the isolated geography of the Greater Appalachian region, as they were able to construct a society that was rooted in individual liberty as opposed to materialism. When living in Great Britain, the Scots-Irish were forced out due to a large increase in rent put upon by the landlords. As noted by a Scot-Irish in American Nations, “We having been, before we came here, so much oppressed and harassed by under landlords in our country, from which we with great losses, dangers, and difficulties came [to]... this foreign world to be freed from such oppression” (Woodard 104). Thus, as evidenced, the Borderlanders travelled to the New World in search of a life free of oppression.

The events of the Irish Revolution of 1798 are directly tied to the American and French revolutions. The ideas of Liberty were taken straight from American and French pamphlets. Ireland gained its nationalist identity through the formation of The Volunteers, a group that came to power because of the American Revolution. And France’s government gave legitimacy to the United Irishmen. Without these foreign influences, the United Irishmen would have never gained the support needed to launch a rebellion.

Because all students should have the right to an equal education, ELL’s should have equal access to the same resources that other students have.

Examining the alternatives to the partition of Ireland suggests that it was the correct course of action, as the alternatives could have had far greater consequences (Kauffman 128). Firstly, Britain could have granted Home Rule to a united Ireland and forced the Ulster Unionists into submission (Kauffman 128). However, this creates several issues, primarily that this would have created more violence. As in Ulster, they had created a Volunteer Fighting Force, which by 1914 had 85,000 to 90,000 members and was constantly improving training and equipment (Kauffman 128). As a result, it was deliberated in London that quashing this uprising would have required a majority of the British Army, and taken anywhere from one to two years (Kauffman 130).

Introduction This essay is inspired by the article “Norfolk Island needs new governance model” (Brodtmann, 2015), which highlights the issues surrounding the ideologies and reality of ‘self governance.’ Brodtmann discusses how successive administrators for the Island had not been able to broaden and diversify the economic or revenue base, which currently relies on an unpredictable tourism industry. The article states, “there is no point in having self-government for self-government’s sake” (Brodtmann, 2015), and presently the forecast of Norfolk Island’s public finances suggests that the administration will not hold sufficient funds to cover operations to diversify and broaden the economy in the upcoming years. Thus administration will continue
