Gender and language in Sub-Saharan Africa : tradition, struggle and change
Much research on gender-based violence, especially sexual assault, indicate that women are often blamed for their predicament (Ehrlich 2002; Clark 1998). Prominent among the reasons given is 'indecent dressing' - which lures 'innocent' men to commit such crimes. Context therefore plays a major role in who is blamed. To contribute to this discussion, I discuss the role of context in apportioning blame in the two cases of sexual assault on a Ghanaian female artiste (Mzbel). This is done through the analysis of linguistic data from media reports, readers and Mzbel herself. The analysis shows that people view these cases differently depending on their personal ideologies and the context within which they operate. Whereas most of the text producers draw on the socio-cultural context to either directly or indirectly 'justify' the actions of the perpetrators, others draw on the legal to condemn the crimes.

\Be a fool like me\: Gender construction in the marriage advice ceremony in Botswana - a critical discourse analysis
Ritual advice ('go laya' in Setswana) is perhaps the most important aspect of the wedding process in traditional marriages in Botswana. Before a bride is presented to her in-laws, her married female relatives take turns to 'advise' her how to be a good wife. A woman who has not undergone this ritual advice is not considered a real woman/wife. Recently, the groom has also been subjected to the advice process. However, there are differences in the content of the advice ceremony for brides and grooms. In this focus I examine this ritual advice of brides and grooms in traditional Tswana weddings, and how it may impact on power relations between spouses within marriage. Using critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2003; Wodak & Meyer, 2001) I explore the idea of a marital \"fool\" (so expressed in one of the ceremonies studied) in order to show how, in the advice ceremonies, brides are groomed to be subservient and not to question their spouses' behaviours, some of which may be detrimental to their welfare. Grooms, on the other hand, are groomed to be providers and protectors, as well as not to batter their spouses. Although superficially the advice ceremonies are meant to foster a harmonious relationship between husbands and wives and to ensure safety in the home, I argue that the discourse of the advice rendered to both is insidious in that it constructs brides and grooms as unequal and may achieve the opposite of what was intended. The focus selectively draws its data from three wedding ceremonies (advice ceremonies), eight wedding songs and 20 interviews on various aspects of Tswana weddings, including the advice ceremony.
Journal Article
Course Design and Testing in an English Programme
There is a consensus in the literature that planning is crucial for successful learning. Eggen and Kauchak (1988: 71) opine that ‘there are three basic steps in the three-phase approach to teaching: planning, implementation and evaluation’ and that ‘identifying goals and objectives is the first step in the planning process’. McCutcheon (1980) demonstrates that planning is important first as an instructional aid for learners and second as a source of increasing teachers’ confidence and security. In the same vein, Duminy and Sohnge (1994: 114) state that pre-purposeful planning and clear objectives are important for maintaining an acceptable standard of evaluation.
