QUESTION 3 The Grade 4 teachers of an urban school in Limpopo, South Africa have received a significant amount of money to buy books for teaching English reading. The most cost-effective books can be found in Canada. The stories are written by well-known authors and the illustrations are beautiful. The stories are about cold winters with snow and ice, dressing warmly and staying indoors. 3.1 When you think of the context, what problems do you identify?  It is not the same: Limpopo is hot while stories are about cold Canada, even the country South Africa in winter is not as cold as Canada so learners cannot relate. 3.2 When you think of the CAPS, what kind of problems do you foresee?  The focus is on assessment, therefore teachers will teach to assess not to understand and apply the knowledge learnt because it is not relevant to the stories that are in the context of Limpopo learners. 3.3 When you think of Africanisation, what would happen when you use these books?  Local writers will be discouraged because they cannot benefit from their creative work.  Our knowledge will be lost, and have no value to learners. 3.4 What would you suggest the teachers do?  Research different and affordable book suppliers.  Research books related to their context.
