The ' (Welsh language for: Welsh National College; known in both Welsh and English simply as Coleg)〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=npld )〕 was established in 2011 by the Welsh Government to work with universities in Wales in order to develop Welsh-language courses and resources for students; it also provides and advances Welsh medium courses, scholarship and research in Welsh universities. Although headquartered in Carmarthen, the Coleg does not have its own campus, but works through a number of branches across universities in Wales. It is a recognised charity. The aim of the branches is to support the Coleg's work and act as a point of contact for students. The Chief Executive is Dr Ioan Matthews〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Coleg Cymraeg )〕 and the chair is Professor R. Merfyn Jones. All universities in Wales teach courses in Welsh; Aberystwyth, Cardiff, Bangor and Swansea universities have had chairs in Welsh since their establishment, and all their schools of Welsh are successful centres for the study of the Welsh language and its literature, offering a BA in Welsh as well as post-graduate courses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Aberystwyth University )〕 Following a commitment made in the One Wales coalition government between Labour and Plaid Cymru, the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol was established.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=BBC )〕 Over the next few years, it is expected that there will be at least 100 lecturers who teach through the medium of Welsh in subjects ranging from Law, Modern Languages, Social Sciences and also other sciences such as Biosciences. There is also a Welsh-medium academic journal called ''Gwerddon'' which is a platform for academic research in Welsh and is published quarterly. The choice of Welsh-medium courses has grown significantly over recent years, There are currently (July 2013) over 500 different degrees available to Welsh-medium students, along with 150 undergraduate scholarships which are awarded to students each year. This is the first time any organisation has planned Welsh-medium provision nationally for students. By working with all universities in Wales, the Coleg aims to strengthen existing courses and develop new degrees in new locations and disciplines across the country. In April 2014, Coleg announced that it had appointed Marc Haynes as its Wikipedian in Residence. ==Gwerddon== Gwerddon is an academic e-journal which publishes scholarly research in the Arts, the Humanities and the Sciences twice a year and which conforms to the guidelines of the 2014 Research Excellence Framework. The journal tries to stimulate and encourage first-class academic discussion across as wide a range of subjects as possible through the medium of Welsh and thereby to create a store of material for the use of research students and academics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol )〕 The first edition was published in April 2007, and it has been an extremely important development in terms of ensuring that more and more Welsh medium academic research material is now published. Professor Ioan Williams is the editor of Gwerddon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
