1.1 What aspects should a home language teacher keep in mind when teaching a
home language to intermediate phase (IP) learners in a multicultural context?
According to the study guide pg.18:
Cultural Awareness
Recognize and respect the diverse cultural backgrounds of learners. Teachers
should be informed about their learners’ backgrounds and understand how culture
and social circumstances influence learning and instruction. This includes
acknowledging learners' home languages and integrating their cultural experiences
into the classroom.
Multilingual Proficiency
Develop learners' home language competence thoroughly as it forms the foundation
for acquiring additional languages. Recognize that a learner’s proficiency in a home
language might not be on par with their proficiency in an additional language.
Code-Switching
View code-switching (changing or mixing languages) positively. Encourage a
relaxed and tolerant attitude towards language variation as it reflects the
multilingual nature of learners' environments.
Intercultural Competence
Aim to develop intercultural competence by fostering awareness and appreciation
of the various cultures present in the classroom. This includes understanding and
accommodating linguistic phenomena from different languages.
Inclusive Teaching Methods
Design learning experiences that consider the cultural and linguistic backgrounds of
all learners. Create opportunities for learners to share and learn from each other’s
cultural experiences through group work and collaborative activities.
Integration of Culture and Language
Understand that language is deeply intertwined with culture. Teaching a language
effectively involves acknowledging and incorporating the cultural contexts in which it
is used.
Addressing Linguistic Differences
Be mindful of specific linguistic differences between the learners' home languages
and the target language. For instance, understand the implications of pronoun use
in African languages versus English or Afrikaans.
Engagement with Learners’ Backgrounds: Engage learners by asking about cultural
festivities and traditions unique to their cultural groups, ensuring that all cultural
expressions are valued in the classroom.
