, QUESTION 1 1.1 According to Foster (2005), multiculturalism can
be examined as an academic or a political concept. Which academic
concepts apply to the South African context? Explain your answer
by referring to the South African Constitution and the Language in
Education Policy. (10) 1.2 Explain how the synergies between
cultural identity, linguistic awareness and meaning making as
aspects of translanguaging can be used to develop metacognitive
awareness. (10) 1.3 Compare the notion of multilingualism in the
global south to the notion of multilingualism from a Eurocentric
perspective. (10) 1.4 Heugh et al. (2017) do not regard multilingual
practices, such as code-mixing, code-switching, interpreting,
translating and negotiating meaning as Afro-centric pedagogies. The
argument is that South African learners, for example, function in an
integrated linguistic system. Therefore, the two translanguaging
dimensions, namely discursive and instructional, may be more
appropriate in the South African context. HED4807 Assignment 03
