dc.descriptionThis report documents the findings of a comprehensive language resources audit conducted by the South African Centre for Digital Language Resources (SADiLaR) as supported by the Board of Universities South Africa (USAf) and the Community of Practice for the teaching and learning of African Languages (CoPAL), a sub-committee of USAf. The mandate from USAf was to conduct this audit at all public higher education institutions, from which conclusions can be drawn, and recommendations made, in terms of existing language resources at universities, milestones already achieved and envisaged, as well as language resources still required by universities to successfully implement the National Language Policy Framework for Public Higher Education Institutions. The audit therefore was conducted to, as a first phase, determine the readiness of higher education institutions to implement the Policy Framework. It comprised an in-depth analysis of staff and student perspectives on relevant issues related to advancing multilingualism and the availability of language resources across five domains: (1) institutional information, (2) language services, (3) teaching and learning practices, (4) communication and administration, and (5) student life and cocurricular activities. The audit results yielded valuable insights into challenges and prospects associated with advancing multilingualism to meet the imperatives of the National Language Policy Framework for Public Higher Education Institutions.en_ZA
