Trosolwyg
Catherine Chabert, BA, MA, PhD, PGCE-HE, SFHEA
Mae cysylltiad cryf rhwng fy rolau ysgolheictod ac arweinyddiaeth â rhyngwladoli. Yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf, rwyf wedi gweithio gyda Phrifysgol Xiamen (fel Cyfarwyddwr Sefydliad Confucius Caerdydd), gyda chanolfannau iaith Ewropeaidd ar Bwyllgor Gweithredol CercleS, a chyda phartneriaid prifysgol sy'n siarad Ffrangeg, yn negodi ac yn curadu cysylltiadau ar gyfer ein myfyrwyr Blwyddyn Dramor.
Rhwng 2015 a 2019, bûm yn arwain ar ddylunio a gweithredu Ieithoedd i Bawb, rhaglen iaith gyntaf Prifysgol Caerdydd. Rhwng 2016 a 2022, roeddwn yn gadeirydd y cynllun ardystio ledled y DU, UNILANG.
Mae fy nysgeidiaeth, sy'n cynnwys dylunio, cyflwyno ac asesu, yn ogystal â dylunio a dilysu rhaglenni, yn cael ei dylanwadu'n ddwfn gan safonau Ewropeaidd a rennir a luniwyd gan y Fframwaith Cyfeirio Ewropeaidd Cyffredin ar gyfer Ieithoedd.
