Grade 11 Setswana Home Language Learners Regarding
English as The Language of Learning and Teaching in a Rural
South African School. ABSTRACT South African learners are
among the millions globally who learn English as a second
language and use it as the language of learning and teaching at
various stages of their educational careers. The literature
abounds with views from language and education experts
confirming that proficiency in the language of teaching and
learning is crucial for academic success. However, the voices of
the learners themselves are absent in discussions on this crucial
matter. This study investigated the perceptions of Setswana
Home Language learners about studying English as a subject
and using it as the language of teaching and learning. The
research focused on Grade 11 Setswana Home Language
learners in a rural public secondary school in the Bojanala
Education District, North-West Province, South Africa. Guided
, by Vygotsky’ socio-cultural theory, this single case qualitative
study collected data through a questionnaire administered to a
purposefully sampled Grade 11 English First Additional
Language class, with qualitative analysis of the responses.
Findings revealed that learners felt they did not have a thorough
understanding of English; lacked confidence in speaking it; had
poor speaking and writing skills, preferred Setswana as the
language of teaching and learning, were exposed to the use of
both their home language and English in the classroom and
lacked sufficient access to English in their home environments.
