Abstract | In these two African societies the role played by English, the ex- colonial language, is challenged by a national lingua franca ... . In examining debate over educational language policy in the two countries, the author takes into account political and economic differences, but also identifies parallels in the hierarchical evaluation of languages. In relation to the likely future direction of policy change, and in considering particularly the viability of English as a teaching medium, it is argued that descriptions of classroom practice are necessary to inform effective educational language planning. ... In the conclusion it is argued that more creative and effective teaching and learning will be facilitated in Botswana and Tanzania classrooms by pedagogics which are explicitely bilingual, and that this has implications for the official separation of languages which is part of the present policy on both countries.
