QUESTION 1
1.1. Define the following terms with examples using your own words. If you copy from the study
guide, you will be penalised.
1.1.1. Remedial
Remedial refers to providing additional help or support to individuals who are struggling with a
specific task or skill. This assistance is given to overcome difficulties and help them catch up or
improve in that area. For example, if a group of foundation phase learners are having trouble with
reading at the expected level for their age, a teacher might offer remedial reading sessions to give
them extra practice and targeted support.
1.1.2. Coherent
Coherent describes ideas that are logical, well-organized, and easy to follow, ensuring that all parts
of a discussion or written text make sense together. It means that information is presented clearly and
in-depth, with one idea naturally leading to the next. For instance, when writing an essay, ensuring
that your arguments are coherent means that each paragraph smoothly connects to the previous one,
and all your points contribute logically to your main thesis, making the entire essay easy for the
reader to understand.
1.1.3. Colloquial language
Colloquial language is a form of informal language typically used in everyday conversation or
spoken communication. It often reflects emotions and can make communication easier to understand
due to its conversational style. While it may include contractions, it generally still adheres to
grammatical rules and is suitable for dialogues or advertisements that represent spoken language. For
example, instead of saying "I am going to the store," a person might use colloquial language and say,
"I'm gonna hit the shop." This style is informal and more common in casual chats with friends than
in formal academic writing.
1.1.4. Didactics
Didactics refers to the theory and practice of teaching; it encompasses the methods and skills
involved in effectively imparting knowledge to learners. It guides educators on how to convey
information and facilitate learning in a classroom setting. An example would be a university module
focused on didactics that teaches aspiring teachers various instructional strategies, classroom
management techniques, and how to structure lessons to effectively transfer academic knowledge to
young children.
