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. (Azagsiba, J.A. and Manyike, T.V.,
