Situating the African ways of knowing in the decolonialisation of the academic literacy curriculum in South Africa
Since the events of 2015 to 2016 when students rioted in a quest for the ‘falling’ of colonial icons’ statues in South Africa, there have been eye-opening episodes such as the decolonisation of higher education movement in the country. The riots and demonstrations by students in 2017 prompted academics and academic institutions to focus on the decolonisation of the higher education (HE) curriculum. However, the commitment to decolonise HE has foc…
Legislative and Regulatory Frameworks
This study investigates the regulatory challenges posed by the integration of AI-driven black box algorithms in motor insurance pricing. The research employs archival techniques to select scholarly articles and thesis records from the period 2017 to 2025, focusing on topics such as unfair discrimination, transparency, fairness, and regulatory compliance requirements. The methodology encompasses a comprehensive literature review to identify existi…
Uncovering Seasonal Trends in Motor Insurance Claims
The seasonal dynamics of motor insurance claims are shaped by a complex array of factors, including distinct gender-based trends among drivers. This study explores these intricate patterns by analysing insurance claims across various seasons, with a particular focus on the differences between male and female drivers. Utilising a comprehensive dataset and advanced machine learning techniques, the research highlights significant seasonal fluctuatio…
Translanguaging pedagogy as seen through a critical literacy lens
This article examines the use of translanguaging pedagogy in a multilingual classroom through a critical literacy lens. The article focuses on the events leading to the collection of data for my PhD thesis. During this period, data was collected using first-year health care students who participated in translingual activities during a collaborative task. The set-up and the process of data collection involved a critical literacy stance. Issues of …
Translanguaging to enhance reading comprehension among first-year medical students
Since the turn of the century there has been an increase in the use of translanguaging in multilingual learning contexts. Many researchers have shown how translanguaging enhances multilingual students’ ability to understand academic content. This experimental study provides empirical evidence that translanguaging can enhance reading comprehension. An experimental group and a control group were used to establish whether there was a significant dif…
An Insight into South African Multilingual Students’ Perceptions about Using Translanguaging During Group Discussion
The recent shift in the field of applied language studies has shown that multilingualism has benefits when used for academic purposes. The study aimed to find out students’ perceptions about the use of translanguaging to understand academic concepts. The study used five first-year South African medical students at a South African university who participated in a focus group discussion. The focus group discussion aimed to find out if the use of tr…
Translanguaging during collaborative learning
Collaborative learning has been used strategically to support pedagogical practices in higher education. On the other hand, translanguaging has been mainly used as a pedagogical practice to teach English as an additional language as well as in content subjects at university. The use of translanguaging has been predominantly used to leverage students’ understanding of academic concepts. This article aims to show that translanguaging can be used du…
