Department of African Language Studies Undergraduate
The core activity of the African Language Studies Department at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) is the teaching of isiXhosa to both mother-tongue speakers (isiXhosa Studies) and non-mother-tongue speakers (isiXhosa Language Acquisition). Beginning in 2007, the Department has also volunteered to offer credit-bearing introductory courses to the Faculties of Pharmacy, Community and Health Sciences, and Dentistry.
