Ymchwil

My research interests are in the fields of language pedagogy, particularly in learner motivation, process-driven approaches to language learning and enquiry-based learning in language teaching. I have also undertaken research into medieval literature.

I am a professional translator from Italian into English specialising in academic, literary, and historical texts, including manuscript transcription and translation.

Bywgraffiad

Mae gen i gymwysterau israddedig ac ôl-raddedig o Brifysgol Reading (BA Ffrangeg ac Eidaleg; MA Llenyddiaeth Eidaleg) ac mae gen i MSc mewn Seicoleg Addysg (BPS) o Brifysgol Bryste. 

Mae gennyf hefyd nifer o gymwysterau addysgu (CTFLA, CELTA, PGCert mewn AU) ac rwy'n Gymrawd yr Academi Addysg Uwch. Mae gen i statws Arholwr Achrededig UniLang. Rwy'n weinyddwr ac arholwr CILS wedi'i hyfforddi yn Siena.

Ers 1998, rwyf wedi dysgu iaith, llenyddiaeth a diwylliant Eidaleg ar draws nifer o gyd-destunau Addysg Uwch gan gynnwys addysgu rhaglenni dysgwyr oedolion, rhaglenni gradd israddedig ac ôl-raddedig, a rhaglenni IWLP.

Rwy'n gyfieithydd proffesiynol ac rwyf wedi dysgu cyfieithu o'r Eidaleg i'r Saesneg ar lefel israddedig ac ôl-raddedig.

Trwy gydol fy ngyrfa addysgu rwyf wedi rhoi pwyslais ar hyfforddiant a datblygiad er mwyn parhau ar flaen y gad o ran arloesi a dulliau methodolegol mewn addysgu iaith a darparu profiad rhagorol i fyfyrwyr. Mae fy ymrwymiad i arloesi a gwella profiad dysgu myfyrwyr yn hollbwysig yn fy ymagwedd at ddysgu ac addysgu ac rwyf wedi defnyddio fy ngwybodaeth am ddatblygiadau mewn technolegau dysgu ac arbenigedd mewn addysgeg iaith i greu cyrsiau arloesol sy'n cyflawni gweithdrefnau asesu sefydliadol a safonau academaidd ac yn mapio i'r CEFR. Yn ogystal â'm record hirsefydlog o ragoriaeth addysgu, rwy'n parhau i gynnal gwelededd o fewn y ddisgyblaeth addysgu iaith Addysg Uwch trwy gyhoeddiadau a phapurau cynhadledd.
