Jennifer Needs

Dr Jennifer Needs has recently completed a PhD in the School of Welsh at Cardiff University, in which she looked at the principles of online language learning materials development. She used these principles to inform the development of her own e-learning materials for adults learning Welsh, working in partnership with the Nant Gwrtheyrn Welsh Language and Heritage Centre to create bespoke online materials for their learners. Prior to her PhD, Jennifer worked as a Research Assistant at Cardiff University in the field of Welsh for Adults, and completed a BA in Linguistics and Spanish at Leeds University and an MA in Endangered Language Documentation and Revitalisation at SOAS, London. Jennifer is contributing to the collection of the Welsh language data for CorCenCC, developing the pedagogic toolkit and providing language-specific expertise throughout.
