D. Tech. Language Practice / The teaching of English concepts by non-mother tongue (L2) speakers of English poses serious challenges to primary school teachers in South Africa. The study therefore addressed three problem areas relating to inappropriate teaching of concepts by Grade 7 L2 English teachers of the Vhembe District in the Limpopo Province. They included the teachers' non-implementation of professional knowledge and practices, their inadequate mastery of prescribed concepts, and lack of use of suitable teaching methodologies and strategies.
