Abstract | Literacy levels of 68 South African adults in their native Zulu and in English were assessed. They had significantly higher scores in native-language literacy, but only 15% had passed the national Zulu literacy exam. Many wanted to acquire English for employment purposes and did not consider increasing their Zulu literacy necessary. (SK) |
