Question 1
1.1 Home language level, mother tongue or home language, and first additional language level are
all terms used to refer to the languages that learners are exposed to in South African schools.
Home language level refers to the language that the learner uses at home and in their
community.
Mother tongue or home language refers to the language that the learner is most proficient
in.
First additional language level refers to the language that the learner is learning in school, in
addition to their mother tongue.
The use of these different language levels in schools is determined by the learner's home language
background and the language of instruction in the school. For example, a learner who speaks isiZulu
at home and attends a school that teaches in English will be learning English as a first additional
language.
1.2 The additive approach to multilingualism is implemented in South African schools by teaching all
subjects in the learner's home language, while also providing additional support in the first
additional language. This approach helps learners to develop strong literacy skills in their home
language, while also acquiring the skills they need to succeed in school in the first additional
language.
1.3 The difference between bibliotherapy and a bibliography is that bibliotherapy is the use of
literature to help people address personal or social challenges, while a bibliography is a list of books
or other sources of information on a particular topic.
Bibliotherapy can be used to help people with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, grief,
and bullying. It can also be used to help people develop new skills, such as public speaking or
problem-solving.
A bibliography, on the other hand, is simply a list of sources that can be used to learn more about a
particular topic. It does not have any therapeutic or educational purpose.
1.4 Oral storytelling is an important part of African culture. It is a way for people to share their
history, culture, and values with each other. It is also a way for people to learn about the world
around them and to develop their imaginations.
In recent years, the practice of oral storytelling has declined in some parts of Africa. This is due to a
number of factors, including the introduction of formal education, the use of mass media, and the
migration of people from rural areas to urban areas.
However, oral storytelling is still alive and well in many parts of Africa. It is a valuable tradition that
should be preserved and promoted.

ways. They can help children to:
