Paper long abstract:

In the pursuit of envisioning the future of education in Africa, this research embarks on a linguistic expedition, focusing on the dynamic nexus between language and the evolving landscape of learning. Specifically centered on the South African context, the study seeks to unravel the multifaceted roles that languages play in shaping the educational narrative, to influence positive change in African learning paradigms. Employing a comprehensive research framework, I will investigate the linguistic dimensions embedded within the South African education system. This exploration will encompass an analysis of language policies, classroom practices, and their impact on the cognitive development and cultural identity of learners. The study also extends its gaze beyond South Africa, drawing comparisons and contrasts with global educational practices, thus enriching the discourse on innovative approaches to education. The ultimate goal is to shed light on the pivotal role of language in the future of African learning, offering insights that are crucial for crafting inclusive, culturally sensitive, and effective educational strategies. By engaging in this linguistic exploration, I aim to contribute valuable perspectives to the broader conversation on shaping the minds of tomorrow and fostering a transformative educational environment in the African context.
