- Description
- This chapter will address a number of issues pertaining to multilingualism for teaching and learning in South African higher education during the SANTED II Programme. It will provide the national and institutional language policy context for the SANTED multilingualism projects, the challenges of implementation, the strategies used for implementation and monitoring, and the institutional uptake of the programmes at the end of the SANTED II Programme in 2010. The discussion will illustrate how the pilot projects introduced through SANTED provided a springboard for implementation of multilingual learning and teaching. The chapter will further demonstrate that while some universities had policies that supported multilingualism, in most cases these policies were largely dormant. The pilot projects provided the means for activating them and institutionalising practices conceptualised therein. The process itself provided impetus for robust debates on the value of bilingual and multilingual education for effective learning in higher education, as well as the importance of linguistic and cultural diversity in building national unity.
