Book Description
Providing clear, pedagogical steps and curriculum guidance, this practical book focuses on laying the strong foundation that is needed to assist learners in using English as the language of learning and teaching (LoLT) from grade four onward. In grade four, the majority of learners make the transition from their home language to English as the LoLT; to assist learners in this transition, it is important that teachers introduce English into the classroom from as early as Grade R (reception year, prior to starting grade one). The earlier learners are exposed to English, the more proficient they will become. Included in this book are strategies for introducing English into the classroom, techniques for teaching English alongside learners’ home language, teaching resources for classroom use, and ideas for planning lessons.

Author: Kay Crosse
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1849203474
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
`A definite must-have for all teachers of English confronted with early multilingualism′ - Times Educational Supplement The activities and guidance in this book will help teachers to develop the confidence and meet the individual needs of young children with English as an additional language across different settings. There are also practical and varied language teaching strategies to promote learning for children working individually or in small groups. The first part of the book focuses on the introduction and development of oral language skills and the particular needs of young "additional English language learners" settling into a new environment. It provides an introduction to the Foundation Stage curriculum and the ways in which links can be made with English as an additional language activity. The second part of the book presents practical activities grouped under the six areas of learning forming the early years curriculum. Each activity includes an appropriate objective, materials and preparation, key vocabulary to focus on and extension suggestions, as well as full guidance on how to manage the activity effectively. The book will be a valuable resource for all teachers, teaching assistants and other early years staff in day nurseries, nursery schools and other early years settings. Kay Crosse is a freelance early years consultant and was formerly head of Norland College.

Primary Education in Crisis
Author: Brahm Fleisch
Publisher: Juta and Company Ltd
ISBN: 9780702177071
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
In the past decade, the national preoccupation has been on the crisis in secondary schools. Lurking behind the intractable problem of low pass rates, the dysfunctional schools and the small number of higher grade mathematics and science graduates is the calamity in primary education. Drawing on the work of researchers in a range of fields including psychology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, economics, the health sciences, and mathematics education, this book documents the depth and scope of the primary education crisis and provides a comprehensive and rigorous explanation of its causes. Primary education in crisis pulls together the wealth of research on health, poverty, resources, language and teaching as factors in academic achievement in reading, writing and mathematics. At the centre of the book is an analysis of the published studies that systematically document what teachers teach and fail to teach, and why it is that teaching is at the heart of the crisis in primary education. The author suggests that there are no quick fixes, but only hard choices and that, for reform to succeed, it must be evidence-based.

Knowledge Beyond Colour Lines
Author: Monwabisi K. Ralarala
Publisher: African Sun Media
ISBN: 1990995047
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Knowledge remains timely in education. The need for academics to contemplate its relevance, worth, use and everything in-between deems a continuous intellectual project, rather than a conundrum to be solved. This book takes the South African context by the horns as it challenges the often dormant and traditionalist ways in which higher education spaces see knowledge. Through original research and the voices of academics and students, this book argues for repurposing knowledge generation, knowledge sharing and critical pedagogy so that more inclusive teaching and learning environments can be both imagined and sustained. The contentious tensionalities that this creates for LoLT and SoTL, in particular, are unlocked so as to trouble the South African higher education landscape with the intent to proffer alternative pathways for a knowledge beyond colour lines. Prof Shan Simmonds (PhD) NWU This edited volume bristles with fresh scholarly approaches and insights of an emergent generation of engaged scholars grappling with the issues and problems of higher education in South Africa. The issues dealt with here are varied and encompassing. They are treated with intellectual delicacy and probing sensitivity, articulacy, informed data and bold conclusions. They serve well! Prof. Kwesi Kwaa Prah, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of the Western Cape Founder of the Centre for Advanced Studies of African Society
