Abstract:

Thesis (M.A. (English Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2012<br>Reading achievement in South Africa is generally cited as one of the lowest in the world. Whereas general reading challenges and lower reading proficiencies have been adequately expressed in the literature, very little is said about the information-processing strategies between learners who juggle between two distal language systems. In order to fill in this void, this study sought to investigate strategies used in processing-processing strategies among 7th graders when reading both English and Sepedi texts in rural Limpopo and

MA (Linguistics)<br>Department of Communication and Applied Language Studies<br>The study investigates why English is chosen as a language of learning and teaching by School Governing Bodies in selected public primary schools in Vhembe District.

Abstract:

The elections of the democratic government in South Africa in 1994 led to the formulation of the new Language-in-education policy (LiEP), which was adopted by government in July 1997. This study evaluated the implementation of this policy in selected secondary schools of the Limpopo Province. In making this evaluation the study wanted to answer the question: How should schools implement the new LiEP in Limpopo Province? The major findings of the study are that the new LiEP remains largely ignored and unimplemented in Limpopo Province. The status quo remains unchanged in most schools and E
