Dear Student
As part of this tutorial letter, we wish to inform you that Unisa has implemented a transformation charter
based on five pillars and eight dimensions. In response to this charter, we have also placed curriculum
transformation high on the agenda. For your information, curriculum transformation includes the following
pillars: student-centred scholarship, the pedagogical renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the
scholarship of teaching and learning, and the infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies. These
pillars and their principles will be integrated at both the programme and module levels, as a phased-in
approach. You will notice the implementation thereof in your modules, and we encourage you to fully
embrace these changes during your studies at Unisa.

PLEASE NOTE: This module used to be known as Basic communicative competence in


Afrikaans (AFK1505). Your study guide may still say it on the cover, but it is the correct study
guide for this module.

1 INTRODUCTION
We would like to welcome you as a student in our department. Be assured of our enthusiasm and
willingness to support and offer guidance to you during your study programme.
The main purpose of this semester module Afrikaans vir Beginners previously known as Basic
communicative competence in Afrikaans (AFK1505) is to equip you with the necessary
knowledge and skills to acquire a basic proficiency in using Afrikaans in everyday communication
contexts.
We start out in this module by using English as the language of instruction. As you get used to
Afrikaans, we will gradually leave out English instructions and move to Afrikaans only; however,
we will never do so on a level where you are unable to understand what is being explained
We trust that you will benefit from everything that this module has to offer. To get the most out of
it, you will also have to tackle a number of assignments on your own. The teaching staff are there
to assist you in this process. Do not hesitate to contact them should you have any questions with
regard to the syllabus, the assignments or any other aspect of your study programme.
This tutorial letter contains important information regarding:
✓ the module and our modus operandi
✓ your study programme
✓ the assignments that you need to submit
✓ exam admission and your semester mark

PLEASE STUDY THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE TACKLING THE


STUDY GUIDE AND PROCEEDING TO THE ASSIGNMENTS.

What is blended learning?

In this module we use a blended learning approach. What then is blended learning? Blended
learning refers to learning opportunities offered through a combination of different teaching and
learning strategies and educational technologies. At Unisa we make use of myUnisa and printed
material to offer a blended learning approach. Thus, while we use myUnisa as our main source of
teaching and learning, we also make some learning material available in printed format.

This means that students who do not have regular access to myUnisa can use a printed version
of the study guide. In this module, all the information you need is available on myUnisa as soon
as you have registered for the module. After registering, you will be able to access your study
3
guide, tutorial letters and a variety of additional resources on the module site on myUnisa.
Students who do not have regular access to myUnisa and prefer a printed version of study guide
will still need to register for myUnisa, since important information and resources are uploaded to
the module site from time to time.

1.1 Administrative affairs

1.1.1 Despatch
THIS MODULE IS A SEMESTER COURSE
Upon Registration, Unisa’s Department of Despatch should supply you with the following tutorial
matter for this module:

• Tutorial Letter: AFK1505/101/3/2021


• Study Guide: AFK1505: Afrikaans vir Beginners (Old title: Basic communicative
competence in Afrikaans).
• Tutorial letter AFK1505/201/3/2021, Answer book. It provides answers to all the activities
in the study guide and feedback on Assignment 01 and Assignment 02. It also provides
information and advice for preparation for the examination.

Note: The tutorial material listed here will not necessarily be available upon registration. Tutorial
material which is not available upon registration will be posted to you when it becomes available.

1.1.2 Inventory letter

When you enroll you will receive, in addition to the available tutorial matter, an inventory for the
current academic year. This inventory letter lists only the items available from the Department of
Despatch in Pretoria or the Regional Offices at that stage.

Students registering at a Regional Office will receive the rest of their tutorial matter by registered
post from Pretoria. Check the tutorial matter you have received against this inventory. You should
have received all the items specified in the inventory unless there is an explicit statement to the
contrary (e.g. “out of stock”). If any of the items are missing, follow without delay the instructions
at the end of the inventory.

Only use the contact numbers given in the inventory letter if you need to contact Despatch about
study material that is missing. This applies also to the tutorial letters which you will receive later in
the semester, for example the follow up tutorial letter which you should receive after the closing
date of Assignment 02.

A quicker way to get hold of new and existing study material is to register on myUnisa. On
myUnisa’s website you can download any study material for the modules you are enrolled
for.

6 STUDY PLAN
Please refer to the brochure Study@Unisa for advice on general time management and planning.

for the module.

8
AFK1505/101/3/2021

We allow you 7-10 business days for the conventional submission of an assignment (by ordinary
mail). However, if you submit your assignment via myUnisa, (which we strongly advise!) you
can do it even closer to the deadline – but do not wait till the last moment on the closing date,
because any connection problem at such a time will cause your assignment to be late.

7 PRACTICAL WORK
There is no module practical work or work integrated learning for this module.

8 ASSESSMENT

8.1 Assessment criteria

There are no additional assessment criteria for the assignments in this tutorial letter. Assignments
are based on a simple question-answer model. A positive mark is received for each question that
is answered correctly. The mark allocation is clearly indicated next to each main question.

8.2 Assessment plan

The method of assessment in this module reflects Unisa’s policy on assessment (see:
www.unisa.ac.za). Assessment in this module is a continuous process and includes both
formative and summative assessment.

Formative assessment is made up of two assignments which contribute in total 25% towards the
student’s final mark for this module.

• We give information at the beginning of each assignment on how this assignment must be
approached by you and how we will mark the assignment.

• After submission of your assignments, you will receive a feedback letter (tutorial letter
201) in which we will explain how we assessed and marked your assignments.

Summative assessment is done when you write your final examination: your exam paper will
contribute 75% towards your final mark. If you do not pass this module, you may still be eligible
for an aegrotat/supplementary examination in the following semester.

8.3 Assignment numbers

8.3.1 General assignment numbers

Assignments are numbered consecutively for each module, starting at 01. Please note that your
assignment number should correlate with the number allocated to that assignment in this letter.
In this module you are expected to complete two assignments according to certain guidelines.

You will need to submit two assignments for this module – they are both included in this tutorial
letter. Submission of assignment one will give you examination admission.

Note that your two assignments together make up a maximum of 25% of your final mark for this
module. For the first assignment, you could receive a maximum of 12.5% (if all your answers are
correct). This assignment will be computer assessed and handled by administration. For the
second assignment, you could receive a maximum of 12.5%. This assignment will be computer
assessed and handled by administration. Thus:

• Assignment 01 is a multiple-choice assignment which will count 12.5% of your final


mark for the module.

• Assignment 02 is also a multiple-choice assignment which will count 12.5% of your final
mark of the module.

8.3.2 Unique assignment numbers

Each assignment has an additional number, the so-called unique assignment number. Make
sure that this number appears on each assignment.

For 2021, the unique assignment numbers are as follows:

Semester 1
Assignment 01: 813078
Assignment 02: 672275

11
8.5.1 Extension for an assignment

Should you, for whatever reason, find it difficult to meet the deadline for the second assignment,
contact the relevant lecturer for an extension. All requests for extensions should be done before
or on the closing date of the relevant assignment. We prefer that you make this request via
telephone or e-mail to avoid delays. Do not wait for a written reply from the department, but
proceed to finish your assignment and submit it as soon as possible. Indicate the date and the
name of the lecturer who consented to the extension on the first page.

Remember: no extensions are possible for Assignment 01.

8.5.2 Plagiarism

Plagiarism involves taking someone else’s work, ideas or words and passing it off as your own.
This includes copying a fellow student’s work, or copying (without acknowledgement) excerpts
from any book (including prescribed or recommended books), the internet or any other written
source or publication. This includes the content of your study guide! Where plagiarism is
proven, an assignment will not receive any marks. You can consult the brochure Study@Unisa
for more information.

You are advised to study the document The Disciplinary Code for Students (2014), thoroughly.
http://www.unisa.ac.za/sites/myunisa/default/Learner-support-&-regions/Student-Policies-&-Rules

Also study the university’s Policy on Copyright Infringement and Plagiarism very carefully, as
plagiarism is a very serious transgression which can have severe consequences.

Befaamde renjaer word karsiek


Blanche du Bois

1
Die befaamde Suid-Afrikaanse renjaer Giniel de Villiers word glo karsiek in die nuutste
simuleerder wat vervaardig is deur ’n onafhanklike span elektroniese ingenieurs, volgens

21
Reuters. De Villiers het ingestem om die simuleerder te toets ter voorbereiding vir Dakar 2021.
2
“Die simuleerder is baie goed, maar vir een of ander rede voel ek nooit lekker wanneer ek daar
uitkom nie,” sê De Villiers.
3
Volgens die span ingenieurs kan alle aspekte van ’n wedren met redelike akkuraatheid
gesimuleer word. Dit sluit onder andere ratkasprobleme, pap bande, verskillende tipes terrein
en weerstoestande in.
4
“Ons is baie bly dat ons ’n wêreldklasrenjaer het wat ons simuleerder getoets het. Dis net jamer
dat hy ná die tyd nie lekker gevoel het nie,” het Christoph Larson, hoof van die span wat die
simuleerder ontwerp het, gesê.
5
Volgens Devi Moodley, ’n plaaslike dokter, is dit nie nuus dat ’n simuleerder mens kan karsiek
maak nie. Weens die gebrek aan natuurlike lig, die beelde wat vreeslik vinnig verander en die
simuleerder wat rondbons soos ’n regte voertuig, kan dit nie net die oë irriteer nie, maar ook die
persoon se balans negatief affekteer, wat lei tot ’n naar gevoel.

Die berig is heeltemal fiktief.

14 Wie raak siek in die simuleerder?

[1] Giniel de Villiers


[2] Giniel du Bois
[3] Giel de Groot
[4] Giel Spoormans

15 Voltooi die sin: die simuleerder is gebou deur ’n span ... ingenieurs.

[2] elektronika
[3] elektroniese

16 Watter woord in par 4 is verkeerd gespel?

[1] lekker
[2] getoets
[3] ontwerp
[4] jamer

22
AFK1505/101/3/2021

17 Wat kan veroorsaak dat iemand karsiek voel?

[1] ’n Gebrek aan natuurlike lig


[2] Beelde wat vinnig beweeg
[3] Die simuleerder wat rondbons
[4] Al die bogenoemde

18 Wat word nie deur die simuleerder nagemaak nie?

[1] ratkasprobleme
[2] pap bande
[3] weerstoestande
[4] passasiers wat skree in die kar

19 Wat is die Engelse woord vir “naar”?

[1] nauseous
[2] nautical
[3] nautilus
[4] naustromo

20 Gee ’n sinoniem vir “wêreldklas” in par 4.

Huldeblyke stroom in vir ontslape musiekster

Bekende Jazz-sanger en -pianis, Dirty Rick Sanchez, is gister in sy tuiste in Springfield,
Kentucky, dood gevind na ’n hartaanval. Sanchez sal altyd onthou word vir sy treffer “Memphis
Moon”. Hy was 61.
2
Sanchez het eers later in sy lewe jazz begin sing, aangesien hy vir 10 jaar in die tronk was op
aanklag van dwelmbesit. Dwelmbesit in Amerika, as jy skuldig bevind word, kom met ’n boete
en ten minste twee jaar tronkstraf.

“Blues King”-trofee.
4
Sanchez het selfs met sy laat begin in die musiekwêreld sy stempel afgedruk. Hy het ander
kunstenars beïnvloed en vele kwinkslae gehad. “Die tronk het my baie geleer oor swaarkry, en
Blues gaan oor swaarkry. Jazz is swaarkry met Swing by,” het Sanchez gesê toe hy die Blues
King-trofee ontvang het.
5
Millie Jackson-Sanchez, sy vrou en agent, het gesê sy gaan hom baie mis en dat dit tragies is

Hulp vir honderde honde


Fiona McDuff

1
Johannesburg – Die organisasie Rescue Our Furry Friends (ROFF) het by ‘n groot funksie meer
as 200 honde en katte in goeie huise geplaas en geld ingesamel om nog vele meer te laat

32
AFK1505/101/3/2021

regmaak. Dit vorm deel van hulle breër veldtog om hawelose diere te steriliseer.
2
Woordvoerder vir ROFF, Carmen da Silva, sê dat die dag ’n groot sukses was. “Diere uit
verskeie plekke, onder andere die DBV en FORA is vandag in huise geplaas. Ons het ’n klomp
vrywilligers gehad wat die afgelope twee maande huisbesoeke afgelê het om seker te maak dat
die huis geskik is vir die diere.”
3
Die veldtog om diere te steriliseer is vreeslik belanrik, volgens vele diereregtegroepe. Dit
verhoed dat diere in slegte omstandighede bly en verhoed ook die verspreiding van siektes
soos hondsdolheid. Deel van die veldtog is ook om vir die diere permanente huisvesting te kry.
4
“Duisende diere word elke jaar uitgesit. Ons probeer om dit stop te sit,” het een van die
vrywilligers gesê. “Moenie ’n hond by ’n troeteldierwinkel koop nie, want hier is dit ’n saak van
lewe en dood.”
5
Dit kos omtrent R400 om ’n hond of kat aan te neem. Al die diere word gesteriliseer en ontwurm
voor hul na hul nuwe tuistes gaan. “Meeste van die operasies word gedoen deur vrywillige
veeartse en ons is hulle ewig dankbaar vir die diens wat hulle lewer,” sê Da Silva
6
Da Silva vra die publiek om organisasies soos ROFF te ondersteun deur as vrywilliger op te
tree of donasies soos kos en komberse te maak.

Die feite hierbo is fiktief.

[3] Moenie honde by troeteldierwinkels koop nie.
[4] Moenie honde aanhou nie.

18 Wat bedoel Da Silva wanneer sy sê ’n huis moet geskik wees vir ’n hond?

[1] Dis ’n slegte plek vir honde.


[2] Dis ’n plek waar honde nie hoort nie.
[3] Dis ’n plek waar honde begrawe word.
[4] Dis ’n goeie plek vir honde.

8.7 Other assessment methods


There are no other assessment methods for this module.

8.8 The examination


The exam will be written in the semester you registered for. This will be either in May/June or
October/November. The question paper must be completed in two hours. The sub minimum for
the exam paper is 40%. That means if you receive less than 40% in the exam, you fail the
module despite a high semester mark. The exam paper will only consist of Multiple Choice
Questions.

8.8.1 Admission to the exam

To be admitted to the exam for this module, you have to submit any one assignment before or on
the deadline. If you fail to do this, you will not be admitted to the exam.

8.8.2 Semester mark

By submitting your assignments, you build up a semester mark. You can thus earn 25% of your
final mark if you submit both assignments. If you fail to do so, it will not be easy for you to do
well in the module, or even pass it, since you cannot make up the lost marks
elsewhere.

Your assignments contribute 25% to the final examination mark, while your mark for the
examination will count 75% toward your final examination mark.

To illustrate this point: if you sent in Assignment 01 and got 80%, as well as Assignment 02 for
which you got 60%, then your semester mark may be calculated as follows: 10 out of 12.5 for
Assignment 01 and 7.5 out of 12.5 for Assignment 02. In total then your semester mark will
consist of 17.5 out of 25 which will be added to the exam mark to make up the final exam mark
of 100.

If your exam paper counts 100 marks, it will be recalculated to count out of 75 marks.
To illustrate: If you got 42% in the exam, then the mark will be recalculated as 31.5 out of 75.
The exam mark of 31.5 and the semester mark of 17.5 will be added together resulting in a final
exam mark of 49% (which will be adjusted to 50% automatically).

It is however in your best interest to submit both assignments to build up a good year mark.

8.8.3 Supplementary Exam

You need a sub minimum of 40% to qualify for a supplementary exam. This exam is written in the
next semester after the one you originally registered for. In other words, if you fail the May/June
exam, you may be admitted to write the supplementary exam in October/November.

The supplementary exam is also one question paper to be completed in two hours. The sub
minimum for the supplementary exam is also 40%.

9 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Administrative Questions
Where can I find important telephone numbers if I have enquiries about (e.g.) administration,
study material or the exam time-table?

Important telephone numbers are available on the Unisa Website.

Prescribed, recommended and additional reading


Is there any prescribed reading for this module?
There is no prescribed book for this module except for the dictionary, which you will use for
reference purposes and for looking up words that you do not know. Some reference sections in the
dictionary have to be studied; this is indicated in the study guide. Only your study guide for AFK1505:
Afrikaans vir Beginners / Basic communicative competence in Afrikaans is compulsory reading. And
of course your CD with sound tracks forms an integral part of the study package – listen to it as often
as you can. The CD will also be available on myUnisa, should you not receive it with the rest of
your study material.

Are there any recommended books?


We recommend the Afrikaans Handbook and Study Guide by Beryl Lutrin which you can find in most
books shops and online shops, even in e-format.

Module Content

Where do I start?
Start by reading the Tutorial Letter 101. This letter contains information about all aspects of the module.

Which part of the work is the most important?


Each study unit introduces new topics, vocabulary, grammar and spelling/pronunciation information and
activities. They all build on the previous section and represent a carefully selected whole. Furthermore,
all these aspects are inter-related in language. It is thus not possible to focus on specific parts being
“more important” than others.

How many assignments should I submit for this module?


Two.
Assignment 01 and Assignment 02.

Are the assignments compulsory?


You have to submit one assignment to gain admission to the exam. If you only submit one assignment,
you will forfeit 12.5% of your final mark for the module. It is thus very important to submit both
assignments. The assignments are also designed as essential preparation for the exam.

Examination

Can I pass the module if I fail the exam but my semester mark is very high?
Not necessarily. The sub minimum for the exam is 40%. This means that even if your semester mark is
25, you will fail the module if you get less than 40% in the exam.

36
AFK1505/101/3/2021

May I write my exam or assignments in any other language but English?


The exam will be a Multiple Choice Question paper. Please ensure that you have a multiple choice
question mark sheet when writing the exam.

What is the duration of the exam paper?


Two hours.

10 SOURCES CONSULTED
