, QUESTION 1 Read the given passage below and indicate
whether Ms Optism acted professionally or not. Give three
reasons to support your stance. (10) As a teacher in the school
with a dual medium instruction, Ms Optimism was comfortable
because she could communicate proficiently in both languages.
The medium of instruction in Ms Optimism’ school were
English and Afrikaans. However, in 1997 the demographics of
his learners started showing some shifts. The learners’ language
of communication increased to ten different languages. Of the
ten languages she was proficient in only two languages. Her
concern was that he could not cover the need of the entire class.
As a learner, she always felt isolated and marginalized because
she believed that she never had a teacher who truly saw her.
Thus, she always wanted to cover the needs of every learner in
her classroom. She felt that she could not accomplish her goal
due to lack of language proficiency of the other eight languages.
Furthermore, more of his learners come from different
communities. Some learners drove their cars to school, others
walked while others used a bus transport that leaves very early
in the morning without allowing the learners to have their
breakfast. The learners who used the bus transport were always
tired and sleepy in the class. These learners also felt that they
were tolerated and not welcomed in the school. I order to cope
with the new environment they assimilated and adopted the
school’s culture and tradition. Learners who drove cars to school
often look down upon those who walked or used a bus to school.
