A Language for Living: Fostering the Use of Welsh in Daily Life [REF2021]
Impact Summary for the General Public
Research in language policy and planning undertaken at Bangor University has significantly developed the understanding of language use and language transmission in relation to Welsh, informing policy and practice across a range of sectors including Welsh Government, Education, Third Sector, Healthcare and Civil Society. There has been notable impact on key Welsh Government language policy areas including community language usage and intergenerational language transmission where research findings have directed how Welsh Government and the office of the Welsh Language Commissioner approach the ongoing revitalisation of the Welsh language as outlined in the current Welsh language strategy, Cymraeg 2050.
