点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research will inform equitable language policy and practice in university education in South Africa. 'Overcoming Barriers to University Education in South Africa' is a collaboration between researchers at the University of Cape Town, University of Birmingham, and Universities South Africa, a non-profit organisation representing South Africa's public universities. The research project, funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council as part of the Global Challenges Research Fund, will generate new knowledge to inform the implementation of multilingual policy for teaching and learning in universities in South Africa. Benefits of the project will be increased access to, and success in, higher education for currently disenfranchised sections of society in South Africa. The project builds on and extends existing research by project researchers into translanguaging as pedagogy and multilingualism in society.
