Language Policy In March 2023, the University of Johannesburg underwent a Language Policy audit coordinated by the Division, in collaboration with Universities South Africa (USAf), the Community of Practice for the Teaching and Learning of African Languages (CoPAL), and the South African Centre for Digital Language Resources (SADiLaR). This audit was part of USAf’s initiative to support universities in implementing the Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) New Language Policy Framework for Public Higher Education Institutions. SADiLaR, under the guidance of CoPAL, conducted audit engagements and site visits at various universities. A brief report was received with appreciation for UJ’s ongoing work in language development. Emanating from the Language audit, the DHET has embarked on funding universities to develop Language Development Implementation Plans to support universities in the implementation of their language policies that accord with provisions of the 2020 Language Policy Framework for Public Higher Education Institutions. The University of Johannesburg submitted its 2024-2026 Language Development Plan and has resulted in the awarding of funds. 2023 ANNUAL REPORT DIVISION FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE 20
