Tertiary Level Language Assistance
Why do students need language assistance and why I bridge the gap?
- Further changes in South African Universities' Language Policies and the continued multilingual/monolingual/bilingual debate leaves some students with challenges.
- New students need to satisfy University and Faculty English and/or Afrikaans language competence requirements, and some might need to attend a bridging program. Material and (now) questions papers are monolingual.
- First year students focus on adjustment as they enter a new phase and cannot afford missing out. Home Language as well as Additional Language skills acquired at school play a crucial role in establishing the required cognitive development in preparation for tertiary studies.
- Negative attitudes and/or a mental block about a language or subject influence further studies.
I assist students to bridge the gap if NSC Language results were for whatever reason, not satisfactory.
