Question 1 Read the following extract from the CAPS document on ‘How the Language Structures and Conventions should be addressed’ and answer the questions that follow The content of the ‘Language structures and conventions’ section is related in most cases to the types of texts prescribed under the headings Listening and Speaking, Reading and Viewing, and Writing and Presenting, and will naturally be given attention in the process of engaging with the texts and during the time allocated for Listening and Speaking, Reading and Viewing, Writing and Presenting. For example, if a story is being done, learners will naturally use the simple past tense and will read texts using this tense. However, developing activities focusing on particular language structures in context is also essential. Choose items from the ‘Language Structures and Conventions’ section to teach learners language that appears naturally in the focus text type and in an order that supports a natural and logical approach to language acquisition. Construct activities that are meaningful to learners and that relate to the texts they are studying in the two-week cycle. Select carefully which rules you explain to learners and keep these to a minimum. First Additional Language learners learn a language through constant exposure to it and through using it. Practice in language structures and use will refine these skills. Teaching should integrate all the language skills and language structures as they are interrelated. All of these should be taught in context. (DBE, 2011: 32) 1.1 Find a text from a DBE workbook. (2) 1.2 List two specific LSCs you would teach using the selected text.

, Teaching Language Structures and Conventions in English as the First Additional
Language

Introduction

Teaching Language Structures and Conventions (LSCs) is a critical component of
English First Additional Language (EFAL) instruction in South African schools. The
Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) emphasizes that LSCs must be
taught contextually, using authentic texts that support integrated language learning
(DBE, 2011). This portfolio demonstrates how effective teaching strategies,
contextualized activities, and learner-centred approaches can be used to strengthen
EFAL learners’ grasp of grammar, vocabulary, and metalanguage. The discussion is
divided into four sections: teaching language structures through texts, designing a
context-based game, applying the Presentation–Practice–Production (PPP) model, and
developing a detailed lesson plan for teaching nouns and pronouns.

1. Teaching Language Structures and Conventions through CAPS

According to the Department of Basic Education (DBE, 2011), language structures and
conventions should not be taught in isolation but integrated into reading, writing,
listening, and speaking activities. For this task, the text “A Day at the Market” from the
Grade 5 DBE English First Additional Language Workbook was selected.

1.1 Selected Text

The chosen passage, “A Day at the Market”, describes learners’ experiences visiting a
busy market to buy fruits and vegetables. The text contains simple past tense verbs and
multiple adjectives that make it ideal for exploring grammar and vocabulary.

1.2 Language Structures and Conventions (LSCs)

Two key LSCs suitable for this text are:

1. The simple past tense (e.g., bought, walked, saw, carried).
