Towards establishing the equivalence of the English version of the verbal analogies scale of the woodcock Munoz language survey across English and Xhosa first language speakers

Magister Artium (Psychology) - MA(Psych) / In the majority of the schools in South Africa (SA), learners commence education in English.
This English milieu poses a considerable challenge for English second-language speakers. In
an attempt to bridge the gap between English as the main medium of instruction and the nine
indigenous languages of the country and assist with the implementation of mother-tongue
based bilingual education, this study focuses on the cross-validation of a monolingual English
test used in the assessment of multilingual or bilingual learners in the South African context.
