English and operacy for teachers

Abstract

The close relationship between the Stellenbosch Institute for Language Teaching (INTUS) and the Interuniversity Committee for Language Teaching has brought into being several projects aimed at upgrading the quality of language communication in Southern Africa. As well as controlled experiments with innovative approaches in language teaching, needs analyses have been co11ducted with a view to improving language proficiency in industry and in primary, secondary and tertiary education. Readers of this journal are also well aware of the fact that both the Institute and the Interuniversity Committee are strongly represented on the Editorial Committee of PER LINGUAM. It is therefore appropriate for PER LINGUAM to announce an important pilot project which is another significant milestone on the road of cooperation between the Institute and the Interuniversity Committee.
