 Lozi language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lozi, also known as Silozi and Rozi, is a Bantu language (of the Niger-Congo language family) that is spoken by the Lozi people, primarily in southwestern Zambia and in surrounding countries.
Lozi and its dialects are spoken and understood by approximately six percent of the population of Zambia.
By that time, the Luyana language had been largely forgotten; the new hybrid language is called Lozi or Silozi and is closer to Sesotho than to any other neighbouring languages in Zambia.

 Language and Learning in Zambia
Their own local languages, and even in the school s the medium of instruction was in their own local language at least up to the 4th grade.
By 1950, the language policy in African schools was that the mother tongue was to be used as medium of instruction during the first two years of primary education and a dominant vernacular to be used up to standard Five and thereafter English was to replace the local languages.
In other words, language is a tool used for the preservation of cultural heritage of the tribe and with it, the clan, the family and the individual.

Consequently, speakers of those numerous Zambian languages lacking official status, -- the guess is that there are 73 languages in the country -- feel deprived of their ethnic identity, having to cling to a day-in day-out practice of code switching.
For Angola, their acknowledgement as languages to be used in primary and adult education is the first such step in the country's history and must, of course, be highly praised.
The phonology of Mbunda is at notable variance with all the other "Ngangela" languages and would really demand the use of phonetic symbols for the representation of some of its phonemes; in any case an orthographic system different from that proposed by the study group of the Instituto Nacional de Línguas, Luanda.

 Becoming a Better EFL Teacher: November 2005
For both EFL teachers and ESL or foreign language students, the definition of a language teacher is useful in determining what qualities to seek or strive for when studying English or a foreign language.
Using language in a relevant context to promote meaningful input and output from the learners is a key aspect of foreign language learning.
In evaluations that university English and foreign language institute EFL students must take at least three times a semester, the area which is most critical and the one in which they experience the greatest difficulty is listening comprehension.

 A Preliminary Study of the Structure of Lexicon Entries
Languages with a long written tradition have numerous, richly structured dictionaries.
We do expect entries in the general format of the Lane dictionary to occur in some circumstances; for instance, a lexicon compiler in the first stages of studying a language might find it useful to make entries in an undifferentiated fashion, with the notion that the data could be sorted out and corrected later.
We have sought to allow in the general model we have created from this data, as much freedom as a language researcher is likely to want or need, as well as the ability to manage generalizations.

Mubanga Kashoki is a scholar of linguistics and Zambian languages, is Professor of African Languages at the Institute of Economic and Social Research, University of Zambia.
Specific to the issue of loanwords, the study raises questions about whether loanwords can be regarded as integral to the language in question; and whether besides the words recorded in this study, there are other foreign lexical items that deserve equal recognition as bona fide loanwords.
The author anticipates that in the longer term this kind of information will materially assist the assemblage of data that will lead to the modernisation of Zambian languages, knowledge about the languages, in their spoken and written forms as living cultures, and the prospects of their ever expanding vocabularies.
