Details

Multilingualism is a cherished Constitutional principle that forms part of linguistic human rights. This means the right of the various linguistic communities to use their own languages to take part in what the country offers its citizens. However, in South Africa English is a dominant language.

The conference aims at critically discussing multi-lingualism especially the promotion and implementation of mother tongue education to cater for South Africa’s wide and rich linguistic diversity. The programme consists of a range of experts in the field of multilingualism. Thorough discussion and debate on the way forward will be encouraged, particularly as to how multilingualism can be implemented to cater for South Africa’s wide and rich linguistic diversity.
