Download or read book Multilingual Education for South Africa written by Kathleen Heugh and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 1995 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication sets out to give content to the debate about multilingual education by providing both a conceptual framework and example of successful practice in bi/multilingual classrooms. Based on the firm belief in the maintenance and development of first-language medium of instruction throughout schooling, and on the need to learn at least a second language, the book argues strongly in favour of a policy of additive bi/multilingualism for formal schooling.
