Language Learning and Childcare Choice in Wales
While there is increasing evidence that children who learn Welsh before they start formal education have higher levels of fluency, few parents choose Welsh-medium or bilingual early childhood education and care. This paper reports on the findings and policy implications of a mixed-method
study that examined Welsh parents' childcare choices and asked to what extent those choices are influenced by language. Using Bourdieusian theory it was found that attitudes and practices within the childcare field differ according to parents' habitus and perceived capital value of the Welsh
language. Where Welsh is widely spoken, both Welshand non-Welsh-speaking parents chose Welsh-medium early childhood services intuitively and in recognition of the extent to which bilingualism forms valuable social and cultural capital that is convertible to future economic capital. In non-Welsh-speaking
areas, without such intuition or recognition of the transferable value of language as redeemable capital, parents did not form the habitus that might dispose them to choose Welsh-medium or bilingual pre-school experiences. As a consequence, the supply of Welsh-language childcare does not develop
in response to demand, limiting opportunities for bilingualism to take root in many areas. These findings are important in the context of Welsh Government's policy target of a million Welsh speakers by 2050.</jats:p

Cyflwyniad i Droseddeg
Bwriad pennaf y llyfr hwn yw rhoi cyflwyniad i droseddeg fel maes astudio pwnc gradd academaidd i fyfyrwyr y flwyddyn gyntaf mewn sefydliadau Addysg Uwch yng Nghymru. Dyma’r symbyliad i ddatblygu gwerslyfr academaidd cynhwysfawr yn y Gymraeg a fyddai’n cyflwyno myfyrwyr i agweddau beirniadol o ddilyn ac astudio troseddeg drostynt eu hunain. Yn ogystal â chynnig yr adnodd yn yr iaith Gymraeg, mae’r gyfrol hefyd yn gofyn i fyfyrwyr berthnasu damcaniaethau troseddeg o fewn cyd-destun troseddu yn y Gymru gyfoes
