  Swaziland's Language Policy for Schools
 
 
Titel: Swaziland's Language Policy for Schools
Auteur: Mordaunt, Owen G.
Verschenen in: Educational studies
Paginering: Jaargang 16 (1990) nr. 2 pagina's 131-140
Jaar: 1990
Inhoud: Language policy is a matter of great importance to developing countries, particularly those that were under colonial rule prior to independence. A prominent issue is the choice of an official and national language in situations where the language of the colonial power was essential for economic development and international communication, and the national language was not equipped for this purpose. Such was the case in Swaziland, and this article gives a description of Swaziland's language policy for schools. First, a general discussion of language policy is provided in order to put Swaziland's language situation into the Anglophone perspective. Second, Swaziland's language policy is discussed, based on language 'policy' documents prepared by the Ministry of Education. Finally, even though both English and siSwati are considered official languages, English will however continue to be employed as the major vehicle for economic development and international trade and communication.
