| Title | Reading English in Multilingual South African Primary Schools |
| Body | From: http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/enews/2005/0201.htm International Journal of Bilingual Education & Bilingualism, Volume 7, Number 6 by Yvonne Broom This paper investigates changes in the language and racial composition of classes in the South African primary schools where English has become the language of learning and teaching (LOLT) and learners are expected to read English texts by Grade 4. The impact of these changes was investigated by testing the level of English reading proficiency of Grade 3 learners attending 20 public schools in Gauteng province, and the results reveal a wide range of language experiences and abilities within the same classroom and between different schools.
