Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study investigates text properties of the consumer-advice magazine article in Xhosa within the framework of the genre-based approach to literacy and writing. The view of writing as component of the communication competence component in Grabe and Kaplan's (1996) theory of writing is assumed. It is argued that the analysis of (non-fictional) genres is a core ability in terms of the specifications of Curriculum 2005 for outcomes-based language teaching for writing skills. The term genre as it is used within genre theory

This study applied both human-based and computer-based techniques to conduct a job analysis in the field of instructional technology. The primary research focus of the job analysis was to examine the efficacy of text mining by comparing text mining results with content analysis results. This agenda was fulfilled by using job announcement data as an example to determine essential job categories and required competencies. In phase one, a job title analysis was conducted. Different categorizing strategies were explored, and primary job categories were reported. In phase two, the human-based conte

Abstract:
The text-based approach is prescribed alongside the communicative approach in the CAPS. This study explores the implementation of the text-based approach and its contribution to English FAL for the development of communicative competence in Grade 4 in public schools in South Africa.
