- Description
- The objective of this research is to investigate the problems of competence and equivalence in the translation of Sesotho Home Language (SHL) workbooks for the Intermediate Phase in the South African Department of Basic Education (SADBE). Their main objective is to develop leaners’ language skills. These workbooks were originally in English Home Language and were translated into SHL. However, the flouting of Sesotho language grammatical rules, errors and mistakes in these SHL workbooks are failing to fulfil the main objective of “language skills development”. This study uses the qualitative research method and has done a random collection of data from Terms 1 and 2, all referred to as Book 1. The random collection is meant to enhance the reliability and validity of the data that is further enhanced by an analysis of similar data collected from each Book 1 of Grades 4 to 6. Some of the findings include language errors and mistakes that include the use of a foreign language, non-equivalence between the source language and the target language, failure to understand the context in which lexical items are used and evidence of linguistic incompetence in Sesotho. Suggestions are made on how to improve this situation in order to fulfill the objectives that are envisaged by the SADBE. KAKARETSO Sepheo sa dipatlisiso tsena ke ho etsa diphuputso tse tebileng ka boiphihlelo ba ho fana ka phetolelo ya dibuka tsa tshebetso tsa Puo ya Lapeng ya Sesotho (PLS) le ho fana ka moelelo o tshwanang wa phetolelo Mokgahlelong wa ba Hare, Lefapheng la Thuto ya Motheo Afrika la Borwa (LTMA). Sepheo sa tsona se ka sehlohong ke ho ntlafatsa bokgoni ba baithuti puong. Dibuka tsena sethathong di ne di ngotswe ka Puo ya Sekgowa ya Lapeng mme tsa fetolelwa ho PLS.
