A. (Linguistics)Department of Communication and Applied Language SciencesLanguage is commonly described as the tool by which a person acquires knowledge and literacy. It stands at the centre of the many interdependent cognitive, affective and social factors that shape learning. The question surrounding the use of language of learning and teaching in schools becomes particularly important in multilingual societies - especially for, educators, learners, parents and policy-makers. School Governing Bodies (SGBs) have been mandated by the South African Schools Act (SASA) to choose a language to serve as the medium of instruction in the South African public schools. Most of the SGBs prefer the use of English as the sole medium of instruction in public schools of Vhembe District.
