What is Foreign Language
1.
This is a
language
that a child will not know and is typically not a
language
that is native to Namibia. French is an example of a
foreign language
in Namibia. German is the exception as it is a national
language
and the home
language
for almost 1% of the Namibian population, but is regarded as a
foreign language
for other Namibians. In the state schools,
foreign language
s are offered from Grades 8 to 12.

2.
The
language
studied in addition to one’s mother tongue in a context where the target
language
is neither the official
language
nor used for communicative purposes.

3.
Language
different from a person’s mother tongue which is learned consciously.

4.
A
foreign language
is a
language
not widely spoken and used by the people of a community / society / nation. For example, Spanish is a
foreign language
in Canada.

,” “target
language
,” and “

s other than English taught as an academic subject.

9.
A
language
that is not one’s mother tongue. It should be noted that, even though there are many authors who establish a distinction between
foreign language
and second
language
, it is also very common to use them as interchangeable terms. Those who do make the difference consider that a second
language
is learnt in a context where that particular
language
is normally used (a natural learning environment), while a
foreign language
is always learnt in a context where the members of the community do not normally speak it. For instance, if an Australian whose mother tongue is English moves to Spain, this person will learn Spanish as a second
language
. On the contrary, if the same person, instead of moving to Spain, decides to learn Spanish at a
language
school in Australia, this will be a
foreign language
learning context.
