- Item'n Empiriese ondersoek na die bydrae van tweetalige skoolwoordeboeke en werkboeke by graad 11-leerders(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-03) Burger, Lize; Gouws, R. H.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Afrikaans and Dutch.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The important role of dictionary teaching and the contribution of workbooks has been a subject under scrutiny by some authors, but bilingual school dictionaries, specifically bilingual school dictionaries with Afrikaans and English as language pair, dictionary workbooks and curriculum workbooks have received little attention in theoretical publications, and therefore specific attention is paid to these three areas and their contribution to the teaching of Afrikaans First Additional Language. My honours study aimed to emphasize the importance of dictionary teaching and the support that workbooks can offer, with both a dictionary and curriculum element, and to identify areas for improvement in the books involved. The content of the dictionaries and workbooks had been addressed from a user perspective, but no field research had been done. There is still a need for research in the field itself, namely in schools. In this study, I continue my research, including doing field research in a school, specifically with Grade 11 learners. This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of the practical use of bilingual school dictionaries and workbooks in language learning. The results of this study should determine which types of exercises (dictionary exercises only, curriculum exercises only or a combination of the two) best equip the learners and assist with the learning of Afrikaans First Additional Language. Furthermore, this study aims to prove that a workbook with a dictionary and a curriculum element (in other words with dictionary and curriculum exercises) can make a very valuable contribution to the learning of Afrikaans First Additional Language. A framework for a combination workbook was compiled on the basis of the data analysis of the results obtained in the field research. The dictionary that is used in this field research is the Pharos Bilingual School Dictionary (PTS). The workbooks that are used are the Pharos Learner Book with the School Dictionary (Learner Book) and the X-Kit Achieve! Grade 11 & 12 English First Additional Language (X-Kit).
