Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The concept of exploring principles for designing a Zulu language learning course for
business people stemmed from the need that there is not enough course material
available for learners wanting to learn a second language. The preliminary component of
the thesis is based on the theoretical framework for language learning theory advanced by
Naam Chomsky, which is theory-driven and derives from an in-depth analysis of the
properties of languages in an effort to determine the highly abstract principles of grammar.
This study reviews the different definitions of second language learning and teaching
employed by various linguists, for example, Cook, Odlin and Sharwood-Smith. It presents
the different kinds of grammar explored in the analysis of a second language. Following
the discussion of principles of grammar, a broad definition of the term 'universal grammar'
(UG), is explored and how this UG model relates to views on teaching of Zulu, is identified.
The thesis demonstrates the relation between second language learning and language
teaching and the influence that UG has on language teaching. It will be argued that the
theory of Chomsky and the knowledge of second language acquisition is suitable as a
framework for language teaching because it incorporates the essence of second language
learning that may be useful to a second language educator.
Finally, this study will present the principles of task-based course design which will be
followed by a discussion of the types of syllabuses required for the construction of
communicative Zulu tasks.
It is hoped that the conclusions arising from this study will assist in the development of
research material and teaching aids for second language Zulu task-based courses, thus
providing the field of second language teaching with efficient and successful language
teachers and researchers. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die konsep van die ondersoek van beginsels vir die ontwerp van 'n Zulu
taalvaardigheidskursus vir sakemense het ontstaan uit die behoefte aan gepaste
onderrigmateriaal vir Zulu-tweedetaal onderrig aan die sakemense. Die
aanvangskomponent van hierdie tesis is gegrond op die teoretiese raamwerk vir
taalaanleer soos voorgestaan deur Chomsky. Die Chomskiaanse teorie van taalkennis is
ontwikkel uit 'n in-diepte analise van die eienskappe van taalkennis ten einde die hoogsabstrakte
beginsels van taal te bepaal.
Die studie bied eers 'n oorsig van verskillende definisies van tweedetaalleer en -onderrig
soos aangewend deur verskillende taalkundiges soos Cook, Odlin en Sharwood-Smith.
Daar word 'n bespreking gegee van die verskillende sieninge van die aard van grammatika
in tweedetaalonderrig. Na die bespreking van die beginsels van grammatika-onderrig in
tweedetaalleer en -onderrig word die implikasies van die Chomsky se Universele
Grammatika benadering beskou vir die tweedetaalonderrig van Zulu.
Die tesis ondersoek ook die verband tussen tweedetaalleer en -onderrig en die invloed
wat Universele Grammatika op taalonderrig het. Daar sal aangevoer word dat die UG
teorie van Chomsky en die verband daarvan tot tweedetaalonderrig gepas is as 'n
raamwerk vir tweedetaalonderrig omdat die essensiële beginsels van tweedetaalleer wat
bruikbaar kan wees vir die taalonderrigpraktisyn.
Die studie sal, laastens, die beginsels van taakgebaseerde kursusontwerp ondersoek, wat
gevolg sal word deur 'n bespreking van die tipes sillabusse benodig vir die konstruksie van
kommunikatiewe take in Zulu.
Die gevolgtrekkings wat voortspruit uit hierdie studie kan bydra tot die navorsing van
tweedetaalonderrig vir Zulu en die ontwerp van taalonderrigmateriale vir taakgebaseerde
kursusse vir Zulu. Hierdeur kan 'n bydrae gemaak word tot die lewering van bekwame
navorsers en taalonderrigpraktisyns vir Zulu tweedetaalonderrig. / IQOQA ZULU: Umqondo wokuhlela izifundo zesiZulu zomabhizinisi wavezwa isidingo esikhombisayo
ukuthi akukho obekulotshiwe maqondana nabafundi bolimi Iwesibili. Ingxenye yokuqala
yophando igxile esakhiweni senqubo Iwazi yokufunda nokufundisa ulimi Iwesibili
eyaqhutshwa nguNoam Chomsky, eqhutshwa yinqubolwazi futhi isukela ocwanigweni
olunzulu zezilimi emizameni yokuthola imigomo enzulu yohlelo lolimi.
Lolu cwaningo luhlola izincazelo ezehlukene zokufunda nokufundisa ulimi Iwesibili
ezisetshenziswa abahlaziyilulimi esingabala kubona, uVivian Cook, Terence Odlin kanye
noSharwood Smith. Lwethula izinhlobo ezehlukene zohlelo lolimi ezihlolwa
ekucwaningweni kolimi Iwesibili. Kulandela izingxoxo ngemigomo yohlelo lolimi, incazelo
ebanzi yetemu 'Universal Grammar' (UG) iyahlolisiswa nokuthi lemodeli ye-UG
isetshenziswa kanjani esiZulwini.
Loluphando lukhombisa ubudlelwano phakathi kokufundwa nokufundiswa kolimi Iwesibili
nomthelela omuhle kumbe omubi we-UG ekufundiseni ulimi. Kuzobhekisiswa ukuthi
inqubolwazi kaChomsky nolwazi lokufunda ulimi Iwesibili kulungile yini ukuba yisakhiwo
senqubo yokufundisa njengoba luhlanganisa ingqikithi yokufundisa ulimi Iwesibili
okungenzeka ukuthi ayijwayelekile kumfundisi wolimi Iwesibili.
Okukugcina, lolu cwaningo luzokwethula imigomo yezifundo ezihlelelwe phezu
komsebenzi othile kuyolandelwa ukuxoxisana ngezinhlobo zamasilabhasi ezidingekayo
ukuhlanganisa imisebenzi yesiZulu yokuxhumana.
Kuyathembakala ukuthi iziphetho eziyovuka kulolucwaningo ziyosiza ekuthuthukisweni
kwezinto eziwusizo ophandweni kanye nezinsiza kufundisa zolimi Iwesibili zezifundo
ezihlelelwe phezu komsebenzi othile wesiZulu, kanjalo bese ziletha kulendima
yokufundisa ulimi Iwesibili othisha nabacwaningi abawenza ngempumelelo umsebenzi
wabo.
