Abstract

This article reports on pedagogical practices in teaching SiSwati as a first language (SL1) in diverse linguistic settings of Eswatini. In response to educational research indicating the vital role played by a learner’s first language in learning, the Eswatini government embarked on an exercise of decolonising the curriculum in 2011 by using SiSwati as the medium of instruction and learning in the foundation and middle phases and a core subject throughout primary and senior secondary school. However, arguably, research on African language pedagogy is scanty, let alone teaching of SiSwati, as the little available research has been on issues of policy, thus leaving a knowledge gap on the pedagogy in SiSwati first language (SL1). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore pedagogical practices that are used in the SL1 class in compliance with the policy, which provides for SiSwati to be a compulsory subject and a vehicle for teaching and learning in early primary schools.. This qualitative case study involved eight teachers who taught SL1 in the foundation and middle phases. Data were generated through interviews. The findings indicated that teachers’ practices were anchored in the understanding that teaching SL1 meant equipping learners with functional language skills, such as productive and receptive skills, essential for studying across subject curricula. However,  a lack of pedagogical knowledge thwarted teachers’ practices to teach language in general, let alone to multilingual learners as expository pedagogy dominated SL1 classrooms, as opposed to curriculum requirements that learner-centred pedagogies anchored in social practice be used. Besides, these findings advocate for culturally responsive pedagogies appropriate to teach SL1 to learners from diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a third language skill that must be mastered after speaking. What is expected of this skill is that learners can apply their understanding of the language to obtain information from reading. However, the reality found in the class shows that many learners complain about the difficulty of understanding sentences in a text, especially in the French language. This study aims to determine whether the CIRC model improves students' French reading comprehension before and after learning using the CIRC model. The use of the CIRC model for Reading Comprehension aims to improve the quality of students’ comprehension in obtaining French textual information. Its application to French reading comprehension is based on previous similar studies which state that this model is appropriate to be applied to improve reading comprehension skills. The research method of this study is a qualitative study with a classroom action research design. There were two cycles in this study, Cycle 1 was a research procedure before the CIRC model was applied and Cycle 2 was after the model was applied. Direct observations were made in the classroom during the RC learning process. Four learning steps that maximize individual abilities in group learning such as (1) the Planning phase, (2) the Implementation phase, (3) the Observation phase, and (4) the Reflection phase, produce a 5% increase in the value of the learning process. It is a certainty to apply this model for French reading comprehension to help learners understand a text well.
