Book Description
The study’s main objective was to establish attitudes held by learners, teachers, and School Governing Body (SGB) members toward the use of BSALs in high schools. The study also aimed to investigate perceptions of the possible effects of multilingualism in the classroom, given current language and language-in-education policies, in terms of actual practices. Data were collected from learners, teachers, and SGB members of two high schools in Gauteng Province: one in Boksburg (suburban), and the other in Devon (township), for comparative purposes, using questionnaires (learners and SGB members), teacher interviews, and participant-observation (N = 100). The findings reveal that BSALs play a secondary role in the classroom, as they are only used to support learners with weak competence in English, e.g., for explaining subject content. There is still resistance to their use as media of instruction (MoIs) in the classroom, as the benefits of using them are not yet fully understood, or appreciated.
A Language in Decline ?

Book Description
Afrikaans in practice replaced Dutch and became one of South Africa's official languages (along with English) from 1925. It reached the apex of its development and influence during the years of Nationalist party rule and the apartheid regime as a language of officialdom, of the judiciary and education. However, in 1994 nine African languages were afforded official status along with English and Afrikaans in South Africa. Presently, Afrikaans is still taught in the majority of schools in the Western Cape as either a first or second language. This thesis compares and contrasts the language attitudes and motivation towards Afrikaans in two groups of secondary school learners - grade eight and grade eleven learners - at the same school, viz. the Settlers̕̕ High School in Parow, a northern suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. At this English medium school, Afrikaans as a second language is a compulsory subject. The thesis also examines the dominant ideologies held towards Afrikaans by the learners and by the school in question which contributes towards shaping their attitudes and motivations for learning the language as well as their actual use of the language. The study finds a correlation between the learners̕̕ attitudes towards Afrikaans and their actual patterns of use of the language, which indicates that the use of Afrikaans may be in decline among especially the younger, grade eight, learners.

Book Description
This book is a collection of chapters based on original research dealing with issues of discipline and disciplinary practices in educational institutions. The aim of the book is to provide a scholarly and scientific perspective on the current state of discipline and disciplinary practices in schools and tertiary education settings. The issue of discipline is investigated from diverse paradigmatic and methodological perspectives, presenting empirical as well as also philosophical research. The empirical perspective includes quantitative (positivistic), qualitative (interpretive) and mixed methods (pragmatic), designs and worldviews. This book offers a ground-breaking contribution to the field of learner and student discipline, with insights into disciplinary practices and issues in educational institutions not hitherto researched, such as Technical Vocational Education and Training colleges and universities.
