Assessing presentation skills of English second language science learners in Driekop Circuit Limpopo ProvinceMagowa, Tlakale Joyce January 2017 (has links)
Thesis (M. A. (English)) --University of Limpopo, 2018 / Assessment of English Second Language (ESL) science learners’ presentation skills
is an area which has not received sufficient attention over the years. This is pertinent
to both learners and educators. The study set out to assess (ESL) science learners’
presentation skills in Driekop Circuit, Limpopo Province. Science learners and ESL
educators in this rural area were assessed quantitatively as well as qualitatively; the
learners’ oral and report writing skills, and the educators’ assessment skills were
assessed, respectively. On the whole, the learners and educators lack presentation
skills and as a result, need support in a number of respects. The teaching learning
environment of these learners compounds the situation; it remains dire. Therefore,
some intervention, in this domain, by the Department of Education could be
imperative.
