Description
Oxford Thetha is a CAPS-aligned series aimed at teaching non-Mother Tongue speakers isiXhosa, which is the target language, so that they can communicate successfully. The series follows a translanguaging approach where the acquisition of the target language is supported by including English translations where appropriate. The foundation for the series is a communicative approach encouraging learners to:
- understand the target language when they hear it
- speak the target language in everyday situations
- read the target language
- write in the target language.
The Learner's Book provides:
- language support through teaching text frames, annotated texts and vocabulary notes with word meanings
- accessible language activities that help the learner to develop communication skills in an additional language.
