DUE 5 JULY 2024
QUESTION 1
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.

, 1.2 What opportunities and challenges do you think you are likely to face as a
home language teacher in South Africa and how would you deal with them?
Opportunities
Diverse Perspectives
The diverse cultural backgrounds of learners provide a rich tapestry of perspectives,
enhancing classroom discussions and learning experiences. This can foster mutual
respect and understanding among learners.
Cultural Enrichment
Exposure to various cultures can enrich the curriculum and make learning more
engaging and relevant to learners’ lives. It offers opportunities to integrate cultural
content into language teaching.
Language Skills Development
Teaching in a multilingual environment allows for the development of both home
language and additional language skills, preparing learners for a globalized world.
Challenges:
Language Barrier
Learners may have varying levels of proficiency in the home language, which can affect their
ability to participate fully in class activities. To address this, differentiated instruction and
scaffolding techniques can be employed to support learners at different proficiency levels.
Cultural Sensitivity
Navigating cultural sensitivities and ensuring that no learner feels marginalized or
misunderstood due to their cultural background. This requires continuous learning
and cultural competence on the part of the teacher.
Resource Constraints
Limited resources for teaching multiple languages and cultures can be a significant
challenge. Teachers can overcome this by utilizing available community resources,
encouraging peer learning, and using digital resources where possible.
Assessment Fairness
Creating fair and equitable assessment methods that account for linguistic and
cultural differences among learners. This might involve using a variety of
assessment forms to cater to different strengths and learning styles.
Dealing with Challenges:
Professional Development
Engaging in ongoing professional development to enhance cultural competence and
learn effective strategies for teaching in multicultural and multilingual settings.
Community Involvement
Involving parents and community members in the educational process to provide
cultural insights and support for learners.
Collaborative Learning: Encouraging collaborative learning where learners can
support each other and share their cultural and linguistic knowledge.
