, Question 1
1.1 In South African schools, the concept of home language level refers to the
proficiency of a student in their primary or dominant language, often the language
spoken at home. On the other hand, mother tongue or home language refers to the
first language a person learns and usually relates to their cultural and familial
background. First additional language level, however, pertains to a secondary
language that a student learns alongside their home language. In the context of
learning and teaching in South African schools, these distinctions are crucial as they
impact how languages are used for education.
1.2 The additive approach is a strategy implemented in South African schools to
promote multilingualism. It involves building on students' existing language skills and
knowledge while introducing additional languages. This approach recognizes the
value of students' home languages and aims to enhance their overall linguistic and
cognitive development. Through this method, students are encouraged to learn new
languages without neglecting their mother tongue or home language.
1.3 Bibliotherapy refers to the therapeutic use of literature to address emotional and
psychological challenges. It involves the selection of books that resonate with
individuals' experiences and emotions, promoting healing and personal growth. On
the other hand, a bibliography is a list of sources or references that are consulted or
cited in a research project or work. While bibliotherapy employs literature for
emotional well-being, a bibliography serves as a compilation of sources used for
academic purposes.
1.4 Oral storytelling holds significant importance in African culture as it serves as a
means of transmitting knowledge, history, and cultural values across generations. It
fosters a sense of identity, community, and shared understanding. Despite
modernization, oral storytelling remains an integral part of African societies,
continuing to connect people to their heritage. However, its survival is challenged by
technological advancements and changing lifestyles, warranting a critical evaluation
of its sustainability in contemporary times.
