Dear student,
As you are aware, the Language Directorate oversees the NWU Language Policy, which has to be reviewed every three years. The review cycle for 2025/2026 is currently in progress, and as part of the review, a language audit must be conducted to gather empirical data on existing language practices, challenges, and needs throughout the university. This information is essential to guide a relevant, inclusive, and effective revision of the NWU Language Policy. Following the audit, there will also be significant engagement with stakeholders regarding the review.
Through this audit, we aim to understand how languages are used in teaching, learning, support services, and communication, and to identify opportunities for improving our language initiatives. The audit findings will guide strategic decisions on implementing the language policy, including staffing, training, budgeting, and curriculum development for multilingual delivery and support.
Please set aside a few minutes to complete the survey - this is your opportunity to shape the NWU's future language policy. Your voice matters!
Please click on the applicable link below to complete the survey before/on 15 August 2025.
We sincerely thank you for your participation - your contributions are instrumental in informing the upcoming Language Policy Review and advancing the NWU's commitment to transformation, access and multilingualism.
Kind regards
Dr Kea Seshoka
Director: Language Directorate
