These learners are confronted with the challenge of mastering the curriculum content while simultaneously learning English in which it is couched and instructed. When the LoLT differs from learners’ home language, this difference can be an educational barrier, which if not addressed timeously and effectively, may become a major challenge to a fully inclusive education system. The main aim of this research was to investigate whether Grade 4 English second language learners who experienced barriers to English as LoLT were supported in all subjects. The research also probed how effectively these learning support strategies were being implemented under the guidance of SBSTs at mainstream schools. / Inclusive Education / M. Ed.
