Question 1: PROSE
1) In an essay of NO MORE THAN 1000 WORDS (about 3 pages), draw on
everything you have learned about choosing an appropriate text for young
learners in this module and tell us what makes this story suitable for Intermediate
Phase FAL (first additional language) learners in a South African classroom today.
When selecting stories for young learners, it’s important to consider several key
factors that contribute to their development. "Eagle’s Quest" is a story that offers
many qualities that make it appropriate for Intermediate Phase First Additional
Language (FAL) learners in South Africa. The story’s style, themes, moral lessons,
use of imagination, and its promotion of inclusivity are some of the elements that
make it an ideal choice. Below, I will explain why this story is suitable for learners,
keeping these aspects in mind.
Age Appropriateness: Style and Themes
One of the first things to consider when choosing a story for learners is whether
the style and themes are appropriate for their age group. "Eagle’s Quest" is
written in simple language that is easy for children to understand, which is
especially important for FAL learners. These learners are still developing their
language skills, so the use of clear sentences and simple vocabulary helps them
follow the story without getting lost or confused.
For example, the sentence, “Eagle used her strong wings to build a shelter,” is
direct and easy to understand. The learners can visualize what is happening
without struggling with difficult words. The use of familiar characters, like
animals, also helps young learners relate to the story. Eagles, owls, and falcons
