Pwy sy¿n cael siarad? Llais pwy sy¿n cael ei glywed ¿ a phwy sy¿n cael ei dewi? Mae¿r modiwl hwn yn archwilio gwleidyddiaeth fyd-eang iaith, gan ganolbwyntio ar sut mae ieithoedd lleiafrifol yn cael eu siapio gan b¿er, gwrthsafiad ac hunaniaeth. O Gymru i Seland Newydd, o Quebec i Gatalonia, byddwch yn archwilio sut mae polisïau iaith yn gallu cynnwys, eithrio ac ail-lunio cymunedau. Trwy astudiaethau achos o¿r DU, Ewrop a thu hwnt, byddwch yn edrych ar y dylanwadau cymdeithasol, gwleidyddol ac economaidd sy¿n effeithio ar ddefnydd ac amlygrwydd ieitihoedd lleiafrifiedig. Byddwch yn cael cymorth i gymharu¿n feirniadol rhwng Cymraeg a chyd-destunau ieithyddol lleiafrifol eraill, gan ddatblygu dealltwriaeth ddyfnach o amrywiaeth ieithyddol ¿ a¿r cwestiynau diwylliannol a gwleidyddol sy¿n deillio ohoni.

Capital(ising) Culture: Reimagining the city
Cities have always been centres of culture and power. They are dynamic settings which are ever-changing and evolving yet carry traces of the past which can be made visible in art. They have been crucibles of modernity across the western world, marked by technological innovation, migration, war and civil unrest, and socio-economic hegemony. Large conurbations and capital cities can become representative of their countries or nations, making their study a gateway to understanding the wider culture. Via this module, you will study the intersections of history and the built urban environment as articulated in a selection of films, short fiction, plays, reportage, paintings or music which have been inspired by cities such as Berlin, Paris, and Barcelona amongst others.

Healthcare Interpreting
Healthcare interpreting plays an essential role in facilitating communication between healthcare providers and patients who speak different languages or have limited proficiency in the language used by the provider, thus ensuring that all patients have access to the medical information and services they need.
Healthcare interpreters work in various settings, including doctor¿s offices, hospitals, clinics, and mental health facilities, and they require a sound knowledge of medical terminology in both languages, as well as a good understanding of cultural differences that might affect communication in order to interpret accurately and in a culturally appropriate way.
In this module you will develop strategies and techniques to perform simultaneous whispering interpreting and dialogue interpreting (including some telephone interpreting, plus an opportunity to try sight translation) in the domain of healthcare. There will be a mixture of interactive lectures on interpreting theory, ethics, and practice, together with live and language laboratory practice sessions on the topic of various conditions and diseases.

Conference Interpreting
This module will help students develop strategies and techniques to perform Conference Interpreting in Consecutive as well as Simultaneous modalities, with a focus on the latter. It involves the advanced development of multilingual skills, as well as interpersonal/intercultural communication skills (active listening, memory retention, time lag, anticipation, reformulation, delivery). Students will typically be exposed to authentic talks, lectures, conference papers, debates and speeches delivered by United Nations delegates, European Parliamentarians, TED.com Presenters, the UK's Political Speech Archive, BBC World programmes, YouTube, The Why Channel, and other countries' politicians, lecturers and experts in various fields. The contexts would typically include current affairs and topics of political, sociocultural, economic, scientific, technological and environmental impact in both cultures and their corresponding terminologies. Students will also be encouraged to research and read parallel texts for confidence building knowledge expansion and glossary creation. Training will take place in a fully-equipped Interpreting Suite (delegate units and booths).
Successful candidates will be well prepared to apply for placement opportunities at the European Commission Directorate-General for Interpretation and/or The Internship Programme at the United Nations Offices either in Geneva or in New York.
Students will be expected to do extensive guided private study, which should include exercises, e.g. mental agility exercises, bi-directional clozing, numerical contextualization and simplification tasks, reformulation and improvisation exercises, as well as tasks for mnemonic activation (to activate and automatize linguistic reflexes through the use of synonyms, antonyms, definitions, paraphrasing, hypernyms etc.).
