    Resumen

    FILITA, Naledi  y  JITA, Thuthukile. The use of information and communication technology in the teaching of Sesotho as a home language. Journal of Education [online]. 2023, n.91, pp.3-14. ISSN 2520-9868.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2520-9868/i91a01.

    This paper focuses on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the teaching of Sesotho as a home language. It seeks to answer the questions, "What causes poor adoption of the use of ICT to teach Sesotho in secondary schools?" and "What should be done to promote more effective adoption of ICT in the teaching of Sesotho as an indigenous language?" The study employed a qualitative approach. A sample of 12 teachers was drawn to participate in the study, with the sampling design adopting a multi-stage sampling technique. Our findings indicated there is poor adoption of ICT in the teaching and learning of Sesotho among some South African secondary schools. This poor adoption may be explained in terms of a lack of ICT training among teachers and a shortage of resources in schools. In line with these findings, we recommend that the Department of Basic Education capacitates schools by continually training, motivating, and resourcing teachers.
