“…The studies in the literature support this finding (Bornman, Pauw, Potgieter, & van Vuuren, 2017; Sibanda, 2019; Bornman, Pauw & Potgieteret, 2015; Magocha, Mutasa, & Rammala, 2019). Based on the findings of the keywords used in studies between 2012 and 2016, it is seen that studies in this field have focused more on first language education and teaching (Bornman et al, 2015;Ssentanda, 2013) and literacy (Le Cordeur, 2012) areas.…”

The purpose of this study is to present a bibliometric analysis of the efforts for mother tongue education before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike other studies in the literature, this study compares the publications made before and after the pandemic. The data set were created via searching the keywords "mother tongue education", "teaching mother tongue", "first language education", and "teaching first language". As a result of the search, 90 articles before the pandemic and 19 articles after the pandemic were identified in the Web of Science (WoS) database. The articles were evaluated in terms of inter-country collaboration and keyword networks. Visualizations were obtained using the VOSviewer program. The results revealed that there was a greater emphasis on mother tongue education and literacy before the pandemic. South Africa was found to be the leading country among the countries studied. After the pandemic, the focus shifted towards cognitive linguistics, discussion, artistic creativity, communication, competence, educational tasks, and independent thinking. South Africa and Turkey were found to be the leading countries among the countries studied.

“…Aan die ander kant het studente wat Afrikaans gekies het in die studie van Bornman et al (2017) op die voordele van moedertaalonderrig gewys. Hulle het te kenne gegee dat hulle die werk beter verstaan, dat hulle beter oor die leermateriaal kon kommunikeer, en dat hulle hul in stresvolle eksamensituasies makliker in Afrikaans kon uitdruk.…”

“…Dit blyk verder dat 'n aansienlike persentasie van Afrikaanssprekende studente aanhangers geword het van die globalistiese idees oor die status van Engels in die inligtingsekonomie doi.10.17159/2224-7912/2021/v61n1a18 sowel as in die plaaslike en globale markplek (Bull 2012;Mortensen & Haberland 2012). In teenstelling met studente wat in Afrikaans gestudeer het (Bornman et al 2017), het slegs enkele respondente te kenne gegee dat hulle bekommerd is oor Afrikaans as onderrigtaal. Soos deur Goosen (2016) uitgelig, was om kompeterend te wees in die globale ekonomie 'n veel sterker dryfveer as kulturele oorwegings in hulle keuse van 'n onderrigtaal.…”

“…Globalisme kan teengewerk word deur studente van die voordele van moedertaalonderrig -ook op tersiêre vlak -te oortuig. Hulle moet in die eerste plek verstaan dat dit tot hulle voordeel strek om in Afrikaans te studeer (Bornman et al 2017;Van der Walt & Wolhuter 2016;Webb 2006). Hulle moet verder oortuig word dat Afrikaanse onderrig hulle geensins sal belemmer wanneer hulle in 'n Engelse konteks sou werk nie.…”

“…Hulle moet verder oortuig word dat Afrikaanse onderrig hulle geensins sal belemmer wanneer hulle in 'n Engelse konteks sou werk nie. Navorsing dui immers daarop dat leerinhoud wat in die moedertaal bemeester is, geredelik na 'n ander taal oorgedra kan word (Bornman et al 2017;Webb 2006). Hulle moet verder bewus gemaak word van 'n Afrikaanse akademiese wêreld terwyl hulle bande met hulle kultuurgroep versterk word.…”

A perspective on Afrikaans's historical heritage: The Afrikaans estate after 100 yearsIn the context of refl ecting on the upcoming 100-year celebration of Afrikaans as an offi cial language in 2025, linguistic experts have been engaged in reassessments of any claim to a comprehensive description of Afrikaans's legacy. The hypothetical scenario of Afrikaans ceasing to exist prompts questions about the inheritance and heritage of this language and the evaluations of linguistic experts' contributions across almost a century.The discussion delves into the concepts of "erfenis" (inheritance), "nalatenskap" (legacy), and "boedel" (estate) and how these terms may or may not be applicable to institutions, individuals, and, as in this case, also languages. In the case of a language like Afrikaans, its inheritance is a culmination of various factors, including history, culture, religion, legal context, economy, education, linguistics, anthropology, and politics. Perceptions about this inheritance had formed over time and were passed down from one generation to another.Afrikaans, as a language, has a complex heritage associated with both tangible and intangible aspects. On the one hand, there are identifi able events and milestones that contributed to its development, while on the other, there are perceptions, feelings, and judgements about the language based on experiences with the Afrikaans-speaking community. Unfortunately, negative judgements often overshadow the positive aspects due to historical associations with the white population and the heritage of apartheid.The present article highlights the importance of inclusivity in representing Afrikaans's history, as previous documentation has disproportionately focused on the contributions of white speakers, neglecting a signifi cant part of its heritage. It emphasises the need to establish a more inclusive version of the history of Afrikaans.Considering the multifaceted nature of Afrikaans's heritage, it is associated with both concrete events (actions which happened) and abstract (what people think about these actions and events) perceptions. The past has bequeathed this legacy to future generations, and the present generation must deal with it. However, the current generation has the power to shape perceptions and attitudes by means of their actions, thereby fostering a more positive outlook of the language.The analogy of inheritance as a "human creation" passed down through generations is used to illustrate that the image of Afrikaans, like any heritage, can be adapted and improved over time. There isn't any particular sole Afrikaans heritage; on the contrary. it may be characterised as a dynamic entity which is constantly being realised in the South African community through its daily use and contributions.The article concludes by highlighting the fact that in the event of Afrikaans ceasing to exist altogether (not that that would easily happen), its legacy would still be evident in the collective memory of that which the language had come to symbolise for many peop...
