This umthamo focuses on the strong role families play in helping their young children become part of the local speaking community.

In this third umthamo we are going to think about how we first learn to speak.

In the first year of this course we will think about the different ways we communicate through language.

This umthamo offers you the opportunity to look at how 'inclusive' your classroom is, and to try to make it more 'inclusive'.

This umthamo connects with and expands upon the imithamo on Curriculum and also on many other imithamo in other strands of the course.

In this umthamo, we will consider ways of making sure that there are 'resources' in our classrooms from which learners can learn independently, without direct supervision from the educator.

In this umthamo, we will think about, and try out, ways of organising learners into groups in the classroom, in order to help them to learn more actively and effectively along these lines.

Lomthamo is the second in the "Helping Learners Learn" strand. In lomthamo, teachers will look at learner-centredness.
