Failed policies and false promises bedevil multilingualism in South Africa

Twenty-seven years after democracy, English retains its hegemony as the language of influence, means, and access in all spheres of life – despite progressive language policies and government promises to foster all eleven official languages. “We are a multilingual country with monolingual practices,” said University of Cape Town (UCT) Vice-Chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng in a public lecture, delivered as Bristol Illustrious Visiting Professor (BIVP). [...] In 1997 South Africa announced a new Language in Education policy for schools, recognising eleven official languages and encouraging multilingualism. Within this policy, learners must choose the preferred language of learning on admission to a school. Where the language they choose is not available, parents can apply to the provincial education department to provide instruction. Most choose English – probably through their parents’ influence, as it holds the key to opportunities, said Phakeng.
In 2020 the Department of Higher Education and Training published a language policy framework for public higher education institutions. These policies are intended to develop and strengthen indigenous languages as languages of scholarship, teaching and learning, and communication in South African universities, said Phakeng. The policy framework is also meant to highlight the role of higher education in creating and promoting conditions for the development of historically marginalized official South African languages of the Khoi, Nama, and San people, as well as sign language [...].
History has shown that despite their lofty intentions, both policies have failed to redress the situation. English still dominates in almost every facet of public life. The reasons are many and complex, said Phakeng [...].
“For example, you can be fluent in six of the country’s eleven official languages but denied an opportunity to join the military, because your matric English mark was 45%. It doesn’t matter that you scored 78% for your home language, Xhosa.” [...] Research suggests that schools are not opting to use indigenous African languages as languages of learning and teaching, in both policy and practice. Those in power should have known better, Phakeng said.
“Mother-tongue instruction has a bad image among speakers of African languages. It is associated with apartheid, and hence inferior education – parents’ memories of Bantu education, combined with our perception of English as a gateway to better education, and making most black parents favor English from the beginning.”
English is also a prerequisite for anyone aspiring to become a professional in South Africa. [...]

Mark the alternative that explains the use of the underlined words with -ing in the utterance: “The policy framework is also meant to highlight the role of higher education in creating and promoting conditions for the development of historically marginalized official South African languages of the Khoi, Nama, and San people, as well as sign language [...]”.
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie is one of the rare writers who has completely transcended pop culture to become a more or less permanent fixture in the literary filament. Most authors — even best-selling authors who won awards and enjoyed huge sales of their books — fade away shortly after they die, their work falling out of fashion. A favorite example is George Barr McCutcheon, who had several bestsellers in the early 20th century — including "Brewster’s Millions," which has been adapted to film seven times — and was quite the literary star. A hundred years later, few people know his name, and if they know the title of his most famous work, it’s probably because of Richard Pryor.
But Christie is something else entirely. [...] Christie’s works are protected from the sort of rot that makes most non-literary classics fade from the public mind, of course, because they are generally quite clever, and the mysteries they describe and solve are crimes and schemes that could still be attempted today despite the march of time and technology. That makes Christie’s stories very adaptable, and indeed they are still adapting her most famous novels for television and film. Whether as period pieces or with effortless updates, these stories remain the gold standard for a “whodunnit.” On top of that, despite being a writer of paperback mysteries, a traditionally low-rent genre, Christie injected a certain thrilling literary adventure into her writing, ignoring the rules quite often and setting new standards [...].
And that’s likely the reason for Christie’s continued popularity. Despite writing what could have been tossed-off novels that sold like hotcakes and were then forgotten, Christie managed a perfect balance between intelligent artistry and the red meat of surprise twists, sudden reveals, and convoluted murder plots. Tha t literary intelligence, in fact, means that there’s a lot more than just clues to the mystery at hand in Christie’s stories — in fact, there are clues to Agatha Christie herself hidden in her prose.

Teachers in the Movement: Pedagogy, Activism, and Freedom


In this year's Presidential Address, historian Derrick P. Alridge __________ his current research project, Teachers in the Movement: Pedagogy, Activism, and Freedom. The project builds on recent literature about teachers as activists be tween 1950 and 1980 and explores how and what secondary and postsecondary teachers taught. Focusing on teachers in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, the project investigates teachers' roles as agents of social change through teaching the ideals of freedom during the most significant social movement in the United States in the twentieth century. Drawing on oral history and archival research, the project plans to produce five hundred videotaped interviews that will generate extensive firsthand knowledge and fresh perspectives about teachers in the civil rights move ment. By examining teachers' pedagogical activism during this period of rapid social change, Alridge hopes to inspire and inform educators teaching in the midst of today's freedom and social justice movements.

"Schön’s work has restructured how professionals conceive their practice and how they go about learning from ex perience. At the very heart of Schön’s theory lies reflection in action; that is, professionals are supposed to learn, not just to reflect after the fact but amidst action. Indeed, this approach to learning and professional development has been a central cornerstone of the training and education of practitioners across many fields. Schön defines reflection as the ability of pro fessionals to examine their actions and decisions to understand and practice with effectiveness better. The theorist is based on two major types of reflection: reflection in action and reflection on action”.

A teoria do conhecimento, ou gnosiologia, é uma área da filosofia voltada para a compreensão da origem, natureza e a forma que tornam possível o ato de conhecer pelos seres humanos. Como disciplina da filosofia, a teoria do conhecimento surgiu na Idade Moderna, tendo como fundador o filósofo inglês John Locke.

Gnosiologia ou gnoseologia (do grego gnosis, "conhecimento", e logos, "discurso") está relacionada ao ato de conhecer, a partir da relação entre dois elementos: a) o SUJEITO - aquele que conhece (ser cognoscente) e o OBJETO - aquilo que pode ser conhecido (cognoscível). Partindo dessa relação, é possível conhecer algo e estabelecer formas distintas para o conhecimento, ou melhor, para a apreensão do objeto.

Formas de Conhecimento

Diversas são as possibilidades de compreender ou de explicar algum fenômeno. A própria Filosofia nasce da necessidade de buscar um modo diferente de compreender o mundo. As explicações dadas pelos mitos deixaram de ser suficientes e alguns homens buscaram uma forma mais segura e confiável, a Filosofia. Quando falamos sobre formas de conhecimento podemos falar de: mitologia, senso comum, filosofia, ciência e religião.

O saber filosófico se diferencia dos outros saberes por conta das especificidades de cada um deles. Por seu caráter lógico e racional, a filosofia afasta-se da mitologia e da religião por esses saberes estarem baseados na crença e não há provas ou demonstrações. Por seu caráter universal e sistemático, afasta-se do senso comum porque este trabalha baseado em experiências particulares. E, por não possuir um objeto de estudo específico como as ciências (por exemplo, a química, a física, a biologia, a sociologia, etc.), o saber filosófico possui uma forma específica em meio aos diversos tipos de conhecimento.

A filosofia se preocupa com a totalidade dos saberes e dentro desta totalidade está a teoria do conhecimento, chamada “Epistemologia”. Assim, a filosofia nasce do questionamento e da busca de uma forma lógico-racional para explicar a origem do mundo. Os primeiros filósofos questionaram as explicações fantasiosas dadas pelos mitos e buscaram alcançar um novo tipo de saber a partir de seu espírito crítico.

“De fato, os homens começaram a filosofar, agora como na origem, por causa da admiração, na medida em que, inicialmente, ficavam perplexos diante das dificuldades mais simples; em seguida, progredindo pouco a pouco, chegaram a enfrentar problemas sempre maiores.” (Aristóteles). Da admiração que nasce, nas palavras de Pitágoras, o "amor pelo conhecimento" (philo + sophia). A atitude filosófica consiste em olhar para o que há de mais comum e habitual como se fosse algo inédito a ser descoberto.

Sócrates ganhou o título de "pai da filosofia", mesmo não sendo o primeiro filósofo. Sistematizou a atitude filosófica como a busca por um conhecimento válido, seguro e universal capaz de agir com uma base teórica para novos saberes e da consciência filosófica.

E foi seu discípulo Platão que, ao longo de sua obra, buscou definir dois tipos de saberes distintos: a doxa ("opinião") e a episteme ("conhecimento verdadeiro"). E, a partir daí, ao falarmos de conhecimento, estamos direcionados às questões gerais relativas ao conhecimento verdadeiro, o conhecimento científico, a Epistemologia.

TEXT III


Realities of Race, by Mike Peed


What’s the difference between an African-American and an American-African? From such a distinction springs a deep-seated discussion of race in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s third novel, “Americanah.” Adichie, born in Nigeria but now living both in her homeland and in the United States, is an extraordinarily self-aware thinker and writer, possessing the abil ity to lambaste society without sneering or patronizing or polemicizing. For her, it seems no great feat to balance high literary intentions with broad social critique. “Americanah” examines blackness in America, Nigeria and Britain, but it’s also a steady-handed dissection of the universal human experience — a platitude made fresh by the accuracy of Adichie’s obser vations. […]


“Americanah” tells the story of a smart, strong-willed Nigerian woman named Ifemelu who, after she leaves Africa for America, endures several harrowing years of near destitution before graduating from college, starting a blog entitled “Raceteenth or Various Observations About American Blacks (Those Formerly Known as Negroes) by a Non-American Black” and winning a fellowship at Princeton (as Adichie once did; she has acknowledged that many of Ifemelu’s experiences are her own). Ever hovering in Ifemelu’s thoughts is her high school boyfriend, Obinze, an equally intelligent if gentler, more self-effacing Nigerian, who outstays his visa and takes illegal jobs in London. (When Obinze trips and falls to the ground, a co-worker shouts, “His knee is bad because he’s a knee-grow!”)


Ifemelu and Obinze represent a new kind of immigrant, “raised well fed and watered but mired in dissatisfaction.” They aren’t fleeing war or starvation but “the oppressive lethargy of choicelessness.” Where Obinze fails — soon enough, he is deported — Ifemelu thrives, in part because she seeks authenticity. […]


Early on, a horrific event leaves Ifemelu reeling, and years later, when she returns to Nigeria, she’s still haunted by it. Meantime, back in Lagos, Obinze has found wealth as a property developer. Though the book threatens to morph into a simple story of their reunion, it stretches into a scalding assessment of Nigeria, a country too proud to have patience for “Americanahs” — big shots who return from abroad to belittle their countrymen — and yet one that, sometimes unwitting ly, endorses foreign values. (Of the winter scenery in a school’s Christmas pageant, a parent asks, “Are they teaching chil dren that a Christmas is not a real Christmas unless snow falls like it does abroad?”)


“Americanah” is witheringly trenchant and hugely empathetic, both worldly and geographically precise, a novel that holds the discomfiting realities of our times fearlessly before us. It never feels false.


(Adapted from: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/09/books/review/americanah-by-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie.html)

According to Peed’s book review “Realities of Race” write true ( T ) or false ( F ) in the following sentences:

( ) Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie uses the distinction between “African-American” and “American-African” to promote a thorough discussion of racial issues in her work Americanah.

( ) The author is described as a highly self-aware thinker and writer, capable of criticizing society through disdain and ag gression.

( ) Adichie's book does not aim to make social critiques; instead, it focuses solely on literary analysis and the construction of a fictional narrative.

( ) Americanah examines “blackness” in the United States, Nigeria, and Great Britain, proposing a reflection on the univer sal human experience.

( ) The author successfully balances her literary intentions with a comprehensive social critique, making her observations about reality more relevant and accurate.

Mark the correct alternative.

“Os conectivos (connectives, ou linking words), também conhecidos como palavras de transição (conjuctive adverbs / transitional adverbs), servem para estabelecer uma ligação entre conceitos, ideias ou palavras em uma mesma frase ou entre frases distintas. Estes termos são importantes para manter o que chamamos de coesão de um texto, isto é, quando as ideias transmitidas em frases e parágrafos estão interligadas e seguem uma lógica. É justamente por existir coesão em um texto que podemos dizer que ele ficou claro ou fácil de compreender.”
