Editing Cornish language (section)

=== Study and teaching ===
Cornish is taught in some schools; it was previously taught at degree level at the [[University of Wales]], though the only existing course in the language at university level is as part of a course in Cornish studies at the [[University of Exeter]].<ref>{{cite web |title=About the Institute |url=http://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/history/research/centres/ics/about/ |website=Humanities.Exeter.ac.uk |publisher=[[Institute of Cornish Studies]], [[University of Exeter]]}}</ref> In March 2008 a course in the language was started as part of the Celtic Studies curriculum at the [[University of Vienna]], Austria.
The [[University of Cambridge]] offers courses in Cornish through its John Trim Resources Centre, which is part of the university's Language Centre.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.langcen.cam.ac.uk/lc/index.html |title=The Language Centre |website=LangCen.Cam.ac.uk |publisher=[[University of Cambridge]]}}</ref> In addition, the [[Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge|Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic]] (which is part of the Faculty of English) also carries out research into the Cornish language.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.asnc.cam.ac.uk |title=The Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic |website=ASNC.Cam.ac.uk |publisher=[[University of Cambridge]]}}</ref>

In 2015 a university-level course aiming at encouraging and supporting practitioners working with young children to introduce the Cornish language into their settings was launched. The ''Cornish Language Practice Project (Early Years)'' is a [[Qualifications and Credit Framework|level 4]] course approved by [[Plymouth University]] and run at [[Cornwall College (England)|Cornwall College]]. The course is not a Cornish-language course but students will be assessed on their ability to use the Cornish language constructively in their work with young children. The course will cover such topics as ''Understanding Bilingualism'', ''Creating Resources'' and ''Integrating Language and Play'', but the focus of the language provision will be on Cornish. A non-accredited specialist Cornish-language course has been developed to run alongside the level 4 course for those who prefer tutor support to learn the language or develop their skills for use with young children.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kevren |url=http://www.magakernow.org.uk/pdf/2014_12_Kevren_misKevardhu.pdf |access-date=24 January 2015 |website=MagaKernow.org.uk |publisher=[[Cornish Language Partnership]] |date=December 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150128112341/http://www.magakernow.org.uk/pdf/2014_12_Kevren_misKevardhu.pdf |archive-date=28 January 2015}}</ref>

Cornwall's first Cornish-language [[day care|crèche]], {{lang|kw|Skol dy'Sadorn Kernewek}}, was established in 2010 at Cornwall College, [[Camborne]]. The nursery teaches children aged between two and five years alongside their parents to ensure the language is also spoken in the home.<ref name="Walesonline creche" />
