, QUESTION 1: (25) Read the scenario below, then answer the questions that follow: In Mrs Selepe’ s
Grade 3 class, the learners are seated in a reading circle. Each learner has an English text as a First
Additional Language reading book. They proceed to read the text out aloud chorally. Initially, an
observer may think that the learners are reading well, with an accent from their home language.
However, the more you listen, the more it becomes clear that the learners are not using the correct
intonation. When the teacher questions them on the content of the story they are reading, the
majority cannot answer appropriately. They do not understand what they are reading and are unable
to derive meaning from the text. The children are simply “word calling” or “barking at print”. Adapted
from Hugo and Lenyai (2016), Teaching English as a First Additional Language
