Overview

isiXhosa Additional Language is offered instead of Afrikaans. This is normally taken by isiXhosa mother-tongue speakers and covers the full spectrum of second language teaching.

Assessment

This forms an integral part of the final year mark and it is absolutely vital that the pupils develop a proper work ethic right from the start of the year. A portfolio must be kept of the work done and be handed in at the end of the third term for moderation.

Tests and Forms of Assessment

Tests and assessment is an ongoing process and it is in the interest of the pupils to work conscientiously from the beginning. Assessment takes the form of standardised tests, essay, oral presentations and investigative projects.
