The Organising Committee invites you to the Colloquium on Language Education in Curricula and African Languages Pedagogy hosted by the School of Education at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. The specific focus of the Colloquium is language education including literacy development, language in curricula and African languages pedagogy. The area of language education and curricula has not received much attention especially the inclusion of African languages in curricula and the teaching and learning of such languages. The Colloquium will therefore focus the discussions and debates on the space of African languages in curricula and the strategies used to teach them both as home languages and second languages. The discussions and debates in the colloquium will also focus on the teaching and learning of English among speakers of African languages within and outside South Africa, and its space in curricula.
