M. Tech. Education Tshwane University of Technology 2009. / Determines the effect of language of instruction (LOI) on the performance of learners in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province. The findings revealed that language of instruction has an effect on the performance of learners. There is difference in the performance of learners who use mother tongue as medium of instruction compared to those using second language as medium of instruction. The government practices and peoples perception on the issue of language of instruction in African schools are the main factors hindering the introduction of African languages as medium of instruction in African schools. Recommendations were made that the Department of Education must support the constitutional right to equality of all languages by encouraging local language use in all the activities in local state institutions. The retraining of educators and translation of English books into African languages is to be done as matter of urgency.
