Bachelor of Arts Honours in Afrikaans and Nederlands
Communication Studies and Language - Language
Purpose and Rationale
Afrikaans en Nederlands is 'n akademiese en wyd toepaslike dissipline wat daarop gemik is om aanleerders toe te rus met 'n begrip van die struktuur en funksie van literatuur, taal en kultuur in die samelewing. Aanleerders sal voorsien word met 'n begrip van die visie en beperkings van Afrikaans en Nederlands as 'n dissipline. Aanleerders sal ook toegerus word met die vaardighede om analise en navorsing oor Afrikaanse en Nederlandse literatuur, taal en kultuur te kan doen. Sulke opvoeding is noodsaaklik in Suid-Afrika gegewe die meertalige en multikulturele aard van ons samelewing, en vir interkulturele kommunikasie. Aanleerders met kwalifikasies in die program sal kan werk in uitgewersmaatskappye, die media, argiewe, opvoeding, die staatsdiens (bv. kommunikasie en taalbeplanning) en as taalvertalers (bv. vertaling, redigering).
