TSENANG! SETSWANA : Guide to be used with the multi media programme

WELCOME! Congratulations on deciding to learn an African language such as Setswana. Thank you for accepting the challenge to do it by way of this dynamic interactive programme. It was a wise decision.

We hope that you will enjoy the content of TSENANG!

SETSWANA and that you will benefit from it. Although you can work through this programme according to your needs or capabilities, we would like to provide this study guide which is a manual containing a recommended route for systematic progress. Good luck and to enjoy every moment!

WHAT IS TSENANG! SETSWANA? TSENANG! SETSWANA is a multimedia language learning programme with a CD and this workbook in PDF-format, which can be printed and used as a guide.

This multimedia language learning programme will enable motivated people that never had the opportunity to learn Setswana, but who wish to acquire the language, to acquire the basic skills in an interactive and dynamic way.

The product has been developed in the context of the MULTITAAL-project in collaboration with the Instituut voor Levende Talen at the KU Leuven in Belgium. It is the latest addition to a series of language learning programmes that are used with great success in Europe. Other titles in the same series currently available in South Africa are NGENANI! ISIZULU en INSTAP! AFRIKAANS.

INFORMATION ON TSENANG! SETSWANA? The computer programme has four chapters each consisting of six to eight lessons. Every chapter has a central theme which is ed by lessons. The content of these chapters will provide the prospective speaker with appropriate skills to speak Setswana in different contexts. Within this particular context, each lesson attends to applicable vocabulary, functions, skills and grammar constructions needed by a prospective language learner on a basic level.

There are also many self-assessment exercises that will keep language learners alert. Literally every division of the programme is linked to several exercises.

These

exercises enable learners to determine the extent to which they have mastered the content of the different functions, skills and grammar constructions. The programme has fifteen different self assessment exercises that vary in of difficulty. These include multi-choice questions, selection exercises, fill-in exercises, drag exercise, listen exercises, correction exercises and true/false questions. Feed-back is given, which enables learners to immediately turn to remediation.

However, no exercises are

included for lexical items because a comprehensive lexicon comprising of all words used in the programme, forms part of the package and this enables learners to refer back to those words that were encountered in the programme.

The programme also includes a notebook function which can be used as point of reference for all notes/things worth knowing that could be referred to at a later stage.
