SUMMARY:The Sounds of English: How to pronounce new words first time\, every time
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of Refugee Week Wales \nThis session introduces learners to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Many learners are unfamiliar with the IPA and may overlook phonetic transcriptions provided by their dictionaries when they are learning new words. Through the session\, learners are confronted with unfamiliar words and asked to attempt to say them accurately. The IPA is introduced and modelled and students begin to relate the phonetic symbols to their sounds. Subsequently\, the class are then given the same words that they attempted to pronounce at the start of the session\, but are able to say them with near perfect accuracy. The remainder of the lesson is aconsolidation exercise in the format of a competitive game show.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Formal Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:In 2009\, The Welsh Government introduced the jigsaw model of Universal Advocacy for children and young people in Wales. A pivotal part of this model was the introduction of the term ‘formal advocacy’ to refer to the way in which those working directly with children and young people can support them to get their voices heard in decisions that affect them.    \nThe formal advocacy role is still widely misunderstood and by many feared as an additional burden on already overstretched professionals. This Tros Gynnal Plant course dispels the myths surrounding formal advocacy and supports learners to identify and understand this part of their role not as an additional undertaking\, but as something that’s already part of their practice. \n    \nWho is the course suitable for? \n – Anyone who works directly with children and young people e.g. Youth Workers\, Teachers\, Learning Support Assistants\, Group/Club leaders\, Community Nurses\, School Counsellors\, Education Welfare Officers and many others.  – Managers of those who work directly with children and young people. \n  \nCourse Structure \n – The structure of the course will be 1 taught day (9:30 – 4:30) – The course will be delivered using a variety of learning styles to include discussion\, presentation\, exercises and group work. – Learning from this course is transferable in to Tros Gynnal Plant’s accredited ‘Formal Advocacy’ course (Level 3\, 7 credits). Please contact Tros Gynnal Plant for more information if you’re interested in the accredited course. \n  \nCourse Costs \n – The course costs £110 per learner for an open course\, which includes all course materials and refreshments. – Costs for in-house courses are negotiable depending on learner numbers\, venue and administration responsibilities.
