many aspects of life. In terms of language, the apartheid government policies elevated English and Afrikaans languages to be the languages of government, industry, higher education, business and for all formal documentation. English has remained the de facto language of almost all spheres of life in South Africa and its linguistic domination appears as if it will continue for a very long unforeseeable future. Whilst the county's constitution is so elaborate in terms of according parity to the eleven chosen official languages, the parity ends on paper, as English has remained the language of communication in almost all formal communications. There seems to be petite political effort from the present government to ensure parity of all languages in order for all the formerly disadvantaged languages to become at par with English in terms of use as languages of higher education, business, industry commerce and television. Academically, South Africa has continuously produced unsatisfactory results at matric level, which can be summarily attributed to the use of English as the main learning language yet many do not master it. This paper sought to check how far South Africa has gone in ensuring language parity through a review of literature. The examined literature revealed that English is still dominating all the other languages and has remained the de facto language of all formal communications even though the country's constitution explicitly emphasises that all languages are equal. As it is apparent that English is a language that seems to guarantee individuals with an easy path into the global, industrial, commercial and business spheres, ways of ensuring that students master it as early as possible through improved teaching methods is the way to go as the other languages are still very limited to be used as academic languages.","publication_date":"2014,,","publication_name":"Mediterranean Journal of Social

Language-in-Education policy aims to promote multilingualism and the development of the official languages and to pursue the language policy most supportive of general conceptual growth amongst learners. The majority of South Africans prefer English and not their home language as language of learning and teaching (LoLT) after the first four years of schooling. Why? In an attempt to address the issue of choice of LoLT, in this article I report, against the background of a literature overview, on an empirical investigation on the perceptions of a group of educators and student educators, on the importance of languages in politics, education, science and technology, trade and industry, and cultural activities, as well as on educational matters pertaining to the LoLT.

Alternative political ideologies and educational philosophies have clearly determined the nature of each of these decisions and their implementation—a point especially true of the South African situation. In this article we focus on the changing role and status of English within new language-in-education policies in South Africa. Because the implementation of new policies needs to be understood in the light of past policies and their effects, we briefly place current policy debates in their historical context. We then present a model that provides a descriptive framework for analyzing and evaluating decisions made relating to language-in-education planning. We discuss existing constraints on policy implementation in the South African context and conclude by identifying issues related to the process of language-in-education planning that we discovered through ongoing assessment of the planning process itself.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button"

This is true not only of mother tongue speakers of English and Afrikaans, but also, and especially, of non-mother tongue speakers of English, among whom language proficiency levels raise serious concern. Some examples are given to illustrate the importance of this problem, and the extent of the problem is outlined. In this paper, we focus on one critical factor related to these low proficiency levels. What is important, in addition, is that the conditions, strategies and current remedies are all less than likely to make a difference. In fact, one can safely predict that the situation is likely to worsen. The importance of remedying the present situation is therefore crucial, and we discuss a number of alternatives to do so successfully.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"[2002] Language proficiency: Current strategies, future remedies","attachmentId":54595801,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/472811/_2002_Language_proficiency_Current_strategies_future_remedies","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/472811/_2002_Language_proficiency_Current_strategies_future_remedies"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="65779870" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/65779870/Asikhulume_African_Language_for_All_a_Powerful_Strategy_for_Spearheading_Transformation_and_Improvement_of_the_South_African_Education_System">Asikhulume!
