 Journal for Language Teaching - Vol. 36, No. 3 (2002)
It is argued that all learners, even if taught through medium of their mother tongue, have to undertake a linguistic journey to cover the distance between the language variety spoken at home and the more formal variety used in the school as social institution.
The learners in Mangaung have thus embarked upon a linguistic journey, the destination of which is the control of the English language in its educational function: as a tool to think and reason, and to access, process and use information for learning.
Some of the stumbling blocks on the road are the initial language skills of the learners when the switch to English is made, the teachers' command of the language and the absence of the language in the environment.
