Abstract
Much of second language (SL) education in Southern Africa concerns the use of a colonial language — English, French, Afrikaans, German or Portuguese — as the medium of instruction for first language (LI) African learners. This integrates SL studies in Southern Africa with policy issues (Volume 1), and with bilingual learning (Volume 5), in virtually all the literature on SL medium education.
