21	Implementation of the language policy at Tshwane University of Technology : the case of indegenous languages Rasila, Avhapfani Judith 06 1900 (has links) The new South Africa is encouraging multilingualism. The Department of Education has given a mandate to promote African languages. The Department of Higher Education came up with higher education language policy in 2002. All the higher education institutions have to choose indigenous languages to promote. Tshwane University of Technology has decided to promote Setswana and siSwati as their primary and secondary languages, respectively, to be used within the university. This study is about assessing the implementation of the Tshwane University of Technology’s language Policy. The researcher uses mixed methods to conduct the research. A survey and observation were used as tools to collect data. The researcher observed the implementation of the language policy at Tshwane University of Technology (Soshanguve Campus). The researcher also reviewed the language policies for Higher education and the Tshwane University of Technology’s language policy. The signage, marketing tools, billboards, directions and university documents were observed. This research was based on promoting the indigenous languages. From the data collected, Setswana is not used to convey the message within the university; therefore the indigenous languages are not yet implemented or promoted / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages) Implementation Language Language policy Higher education system Higher education institutions University University of Technology Official languages Indigenous language TUT Setswana siSwati 306.44968227 Tshwane University of Technology Language policy -- South Africa Language and education -- South Africa
22	The attitudes of L1-African language students towards the LOLT issue at Unisa Bekker, Ian 28 February 2002 (has links) Recent language policy developments at the University of South Africa (Unisa) indicate that the language attitudes of its students should be researched, particularly the attitudes of students who have an African language as their first language. This study takes a first but solid step towards meeting this requirement. It conducts exploratory research into the nature of the relevant language attitudes and, based on the findings of this research, constructs an attitude scale that can be usefully employed in the measurement of such attitudes, both at Unisa and other tertiary institutions in South Africa. In order to achieve its aims, the study places much emphasis on the use of proper methodology, in order to counteract the trend in much local language-attitude research of ignoring the complexity of language attitudes and avoiding methodologically sophisticated and rigorous statistical techniques that are equipped to accommodate such complexity. / Linguistics / M.A. (Linguistics) Language attitudes Factor analysis Language planning Language policy Language-in education Attitude scales African languages Tertiary education University students Exploratory research 306.44968 Students -- Attitudes Language policy -- South Africa Multilingualism -- South Africa Language and culture -- South Africa Language and education -- South Africa Language planning -- South Africa University of South Africa -- Language
