XHOSA
The focus of studying Xhosa as an additional language is to build a fluency and understanding of the spoken language.
It is important to understand that grammar and vocabulary are the building blocks of language. In order for pupils to become competent Xhosa speakers we focus on building on the vocabulary already acquired in the lower grades.
The following skills will be built upon in an integrated and progressive manner as pupils move on up through grades 10, 11 and 12:
- Listening
- Speaking
- Reading and Viewing
- Writing
- Thinking and reasoning
- Language structure and use
Assessment will be continuous, and will take the form of weekly oral and written assignments and tests, as well as examinations in July and November.
