- This work reports on a three year longitudinal and experimental research which aimed at promoting the use of isiXhosa (one of the African languages) as a medium of instruction in science from Grade 4 – 6 in two primary schools in the Western Cape. The results of the study show that there is a positive correlation between the use of the learner’s mother tongue as a medium of instruction and learners’ conceptual development and academic performance in science.
