To help a child who is failing Afrikaans as a First Additional Language, teach them the Afrikaans instruction words used in tests, buy a good bilingual dictionary for homework and keep an A5 notebook of new Afrikaans words with English translations throughout the year. The same approach works for any First Additional Language, including English, isiXhosa and isiZulu.
Early preparation, rather than procrastination, helped one family turn failing exam results into passes within a single school term. The steps included reviewing the school calendar and incomplete notes, building a study timetable backwards from exam dates, organising revision summaries by subject, separating note-making from studying, using practice worksheets and exams, and giving daily encouragement.
