Both in and outside the classroom, a teacher always requires sound
communication skills. In an instructional context, a clear and
expressive voice is the primary mode of communication, and the
teacher is most often the initiator of any written or spoken
message. When the message is not conveyed effectively,
misunderstandings, misconceptions and even situations of conflict
often arise. South African classrooms have become increasingly
diverse and this has complicated communication in the classroom.
Many teachers are faced with the challenge of facilitating learning
in a language generally not spoken by their learners as a home
language. A policy of additive multi- or bilingualism is therefore
encouraged, and as teachers we need to encourage learners to value
their own mother tongue as well as those spoken by others. If
teachers have even a limited knowledge of at least one other
language spoken by their learners, it goes a long way towards
facilitating understanding and better learning. Communication,
culture and the multilingual classroom equips the prospective
teacher with these necessary communication and classroom
literacies. It provides a useful and enriching guide for
interacting with many different people at many different levels in
the learning environment. Additional resources include useful tips
and information on learning and using new words and phrases from
different languages, including units that focus specifically on
Afrikaans, Northern Sotho, Tswana, Zulu and Xhosa.
