摘要

The paper reports on the findings from the study that sought to understand Language of Learning and Teaching in the Foundation and Intermediate phases and its impact on the academic performance of learners. The study is important because it provides challenges encountered in the classroom when implementing this policy framework. It has potential to inform curriculum designers to bring about concerted efforts to the review of the policy. The purpose of the study was to investigate the classroom experiences and reflections of changing from mother tongue, Sepedi to English as a Language of Learning and Teaching. A qualitative case study wherein participatory observations, questionnaires and unstructured interviews were used as data collection methods. The study used content analysis, frequency tables and document analysis and transcripts. Twenty teachers and four school managers were purposively sampled from one Limpopo primary school. The findings revealed that learners and teachers do not cope with the switching from Sepedi to English that is used as the Language of Learning and teaching, due to interference of dialects and slang in Sepedi usage; open door policy that allows first encounters of the school’s adopted mother tongue; and unqualified foundation and intermediate phase teachers. However, they were those who perceive great benefits of the new policy, and disregarded the transitional challenges and lack of material resources in favour of its implementation. This study concludes that the change from the mother tongue to English poses challenges to learning and teaching at the intermediate phase. This study recommends the placement of the qualified teachers in the early childhood development phases; and that more professional teacher’ development programmes with focus on early childhood development content and pedagogies need to be rolled out.
