Jo Westbrook; Margaret Baleeta; Caroline Dyer; Annette Islei – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
Uganda's "early exit" language policy positions African languages ambiguously in public education provision. Runyoro-Rutooro and Runyankore-Rukiga are spoken in Western Uganda in public spaces where translanguaging happens as a matter of course. These languages are heard at pre-primary and lower primary levels but are superseded by…
