, SECTION A : CONTENT-BASED QUESTIONS
1. Identify TWO examples of factors that affect learners’ acquisition of English in
rural areas.
Inadequate resources Furthermore, English is not their first language
but is one of their supplementary languages, thus learners in rural
areas are not exposed to it when they are not in the classroom.
The lack of English language teaching and learning resources in rural
and poorer areas inhibits learning and the social progress related to
learning.
Additional difficulties include the lack of proper training and assistance
programs for teachers of English as a second or additional language.
2. English is perceived to be a hegemonic language.
2.1 Explain what you understand by the term hegemonic language.
The term "English Hegemony" describes a condition in which English
predominates other languages in communication, leading to the
"English Divide," or disparities between English-speaking and non-
English-speaking individuals.
Hegemonic refers to a socially constructed concept that describes the
social dynamics and techniques of power and is based on complex
cultural social practice. Hegemony, a compound of leadership and
dominance, explains the social authority of one group over the others.
