HOW THE RESOURCES HELP
Learners develop an additional language through regular opportunities to hear it, understand it, speak it, read it and write it. The Teaching Afrikaans resources support these connected skills through pictures, themes, guided repetition, and practical classroom activities.
Afrikaans, like any other language, is learned by;
- Hear and understand Afrikaans: The Kommunikatiewe Program gives the teacher themed visual material, model sentences and audio support. Learners listen to Afrikaans in context and respond to questions as a group.
- See and find the words: My Afrikaanse Woordeboek helps learners find a word by identifying a familiar picture. They can then see the Afrikaans word and its spelling.
- Say and read the words: The themed pages and numbered vocabulary support repetition, pronunciation practice, and shared class reading without placing one learner under unnecessary pressure.
- Use the words in Writing: As learners build vocabulary, they have more words available for sentences and short written activities. The word lists at the back of the book can also support basic sentence construction.
