Bilingual Teaching and Language Distribution at 16+
Cen Williams

This article concentrates on the post-16 age group within the ‘further education’ sector in Wales, i.e. in colleges which offer two main educational routes, the vocational route and the academic route which leads to the university entrance A level examinations. The article provides a summary of the Welsh context. It then outlines a small-scale research project into bilingual delivery and teaching within the sector and provides a discussion on the variety of bilingual teaching contexts encountered. Finally, the article offers conclusions and recommendations which may benefit lecturers teaching a similar age group and in similar bilingual situations in other countries.
