Semeon, Nasimu; Mutekwe, Edmore – South African Journal of Education, 2021

Language is a contextual factor of an education system as it determines the Language of Learning and Teaching (LOLT).

Murphy, P. Karen; Ebersöhn, Liesel; Omidire, Funke; Firetto, Carla M. – South African Journal of Education, 2020
The nature of discourse within classrooms strongly predicts students' ability to think about, around, and with text and content (i.e. comprehension and critical-analytic thinking). However, little is known about the nature of classroom discourse in remote, rural South African schools, a context in which students face well-documented language…

Kotzé, T.; Van der Westhuizen, M.; Barnard, E. – South African Journal of Education, 2017
There are a number of challenges related to teaching in a multi-linguistic classroom.
