The promotion of multilingualism is one of the aims of the new language-in-education
policy. It is a phenomenon which is reflective of our multilingual society. However, the
means by which it is being promoted at school level needs to be investigated in light of
the additive bilingualism model that has been stipulated in the language-in education
policy.
This dissertation focuses on a school in the Western Cape which offers many languages
and is trying to meet the needs of its learners. The way in which multilingualism is
experienced in the classrooms is observed from the learners, teachers and parents'
perspectives in the hope of describing how it takes place in a secondary school setting.
The ways in which teachers can promote multilingualism in the classroom are suggested
by offering practical multilingual strategies for teaching and learning. The role of INSET
in promoting multilingualism is also discussed. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Educational Management)
