A further requirement of the Department of Education in South Africa is that students have to undergo a language endorsement test for both these
languages. This endorsement comprises a wri en and an oral section. The wri en section is derived from the language taken for degree purposes,
while the oral section has to be completed during the practical teaching period.
Students are automatically registered for this language endorsement and need not pay any registration fees. Foreign students do not have to
complete the tests if they do not intend teaching in South Africa. However, it is up to students to fi nd out from the education department where
they intend teaching what their requirements are concerning language tests for teaching in that specifi c country.
Students who have undergone and acquired the necessary language endorsement at a previous educational institution do not have to undergo
these tests, however the onus rests on the student to send the necessary documentation to the University for verifi cation.
Deaf students only have to complete the language test in sign language. Students without a hearing impediment registered for sign language, must
also complete a language test in another offi cial language as well as one in sign language.
(e) Teaching practice
Teaching practice is a compulsory 10 week period. This can only be done in South Africa. The completion of workbooks and submission of the
principal’s report are compulsory and serve as the fi nal examination mark.
In the event of a student failing the teaching practice, the student is compelled to re-register for the module.
