, Question 1.1
How would you introduce the text to your learners to ensure that they engage
with the material effectively? Discuss strategies for pre-reading, while-reading,
and post-reading activities.
(10 marks)
To support Grade 6 learners from various language backgrounds—such as isiXhosa,
Afrikaans, and Sesotho—in understanding an English First Additional Language (FAL)
text about environmental conservation, I would follow a structured approach that
includes pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading stages.
Pre-reading:
Before reading, I would begin with a short, engaging discussion to connect the topic to
learners’ everyday experiences. For example, I might ask, “How can we keep our
surroundings clean?” or “What happens if we litter in our community?” I would also use
pictures showing polluted and clean environments to give them a visual understanding
and to generate interest in the topic.
While-reading:
As we read the text, I would guide learners through each section, stopping to explain
unfamiliar words and ideas. I would check their understanding by asking simple
questions like, “Can you explain this part in your own words?” or “Why do you think this
is important?” Learners could also read in pairs or groups to help one another and build
confidence in using English.
Post-reading:
After finishing the reading, learners would work on creative activities to apply what they
have learned. For example, they could design posters showing ways to care for the
environment or write a few sentences about what they found important. A group
