ENG1503 Assignment 2 (COMPLETE ANSWERS) Semester 1 2026 - DUE 17 April 2026.. Read the extract below and answer the question that follows: South Africa’s constitution has 11 official languages, and it promotes the development of the Khoi, Nama, and San languages, as well as sign language (The South African Constitution, 2012). HEIs have to develop institutional language policies that are informed by the language policy framework for public higher education institutions, as determined in terms of Section 27(2) of the Higher Education Act, 101 of 1997 (as amended) (DHET, 2020) and by the South African Constitution. This language policy framework encourages multilingualism and the development of African languages to become LoLTs alongside English and Afrikaans. It states that: Language continues to be a barrier to access and success for many students at South African higher education institutions. Despite their status as official languages, indigenous languages have in the past and at present, structurally not been afforded the official space to function as academic and scientific languages … The persistent underdevelopment and undervaluing of indigenous languages should not be allowed if public higher education institutions are to meet the diverse linguistic needs of their student population. Conditions must therefore, be created for the development and strengthening of indigenous languages as languages of meaningful academic discourse, as well as sources of knowledge in the different disciplines of higher education.

Multilingualism should be adopted in teaching, learning and assessment in South
Africa

Multilingualism should be adopted as an approach to teaching, learning and assessment
in linguistically diverse countries such as South Africa. My position is that this approach is
necessary because it improves access to knowledge, supports deeper learning, and
makes assessment fairer for students who think and express themselves in different
languages. In a country with many official languages and a long history of linguistic
exclusion, keeping English at the centre of education continues to disadvantage many
students instead of helping them succeed.
