Select a writing genre suitable for a Grade 8 or Grade 9 First Additional Language (FAL) classroom (e.g., a discursive essay, descriptive paragraph or narrative essay). Critically analyse how the drafting and revising stages of the process approach to writing can support learners' movement through Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). In your discussion Critically reflect on how the principles underpinning the process approach and Assessment for Learning align with Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS). You may use sources from the E-reserves in your reflection. In your reflection, consider issues such as: • collaborative knowledge construction; • learning through guidance and participation; • oral and community-based learning practices; and • the role of language in preserving and transmitting knowledgeCritically discuss why Assessment for Learning is not a separate add-on to teaching, but a fundamental part of the teaching–learning process in language classrooms. You may refer to sources in the E-reserves in your answer. (150 words) Describe and justify three Assessment for Learning strategies that you would use during the lesson to gather evidence of learner understanding. Explain how the evidence gathered from each strategy would inform the next phase or cycle of teaching and learning. Illustrate your answer with specific examples of possible learner responses and the teaching actions that would follow. Black (2015) argues that Assessment for Learning (AfL) is an ongoing process in which evidence of learning is gathered and interpreted to support future learning. You may refer to sources in the E-reserves in your answer. Using a language lesson of your choice (e.g. reading, writing, speaking or grammar) explain the relationship between scaffolding and the ZPD; • demonstrate how mediation supports writing development during drafting and revising; • provide three original examples of scaffolding strategies that a More Knowledgeable Other (MKO) could use during drafting; and • explain how each strategy enables learners to perform linguistic tasks that they could not yet complete independently. (2000 words) In your reflection, consider issues such as: • collaborative knowledge construction; • learning through guidance and participation; • oral and community-based learning practices; and • the role of language in preserving and transmitting knowledge.

QUESTION 1: PROCESS APPROACH TO WRITING, ZPD AND
SCAFFOLDING

Selected genre and classroom context

Relationship between Scaffolding and the ZPD

For this discussion I use a Grade 9 English First Additional Language class in a
Gauteng township school, where learners write a narrative essay about a challenge
faced by a young person in their community. The process approach is suitable
because CAPS requires planning, drafting, revising, editing, proofreading and
presenting rather than treating the first attempt as the final product (Department of
Basic Education [DBE], 2011). The Zone of Proximal Development is the space
between what a learner can do independently and what becomes possible with
