You are here: Afrikaans / General / Mission Statement
Die webwerf missie is om die beste moontlike Afrikaans onderrig kosteloos aan die internasionale gemeenskap te bied. The mission of this website is to offer the best possible Afrikaans instruction for free to the international community.
Die visie is om bydraes van moedertaalsprekeres aan te bied (gedigte, stories, sang, humor, ens.) sodat die leerder die taal kan ervaar soos dit gebesig word. The vision is to offer the contributions of mother tongue speakers (poems, stories, songs, humor, etc.) so that the learner may experience the language as spoken.
Die hoop is om leerders en sprekers op die webwerf betrokke sal wees om die volgende te bewerkstellig: The hope is that learners and speakers will both be welcome on the website and will be involved to accomplish the following:
sprekers help leerders
meedeling van ervaring in die kultuur en die taal
bou van internasionale vriendskappe rondom die taal
speakers help learners
sharing of experience with the culture and language
building of international friendships around the language
Die langtermyn doel is om in die behoeftes van die volgende leerders te voorsien: The long term goal is to address the needs of the following learners:
skoolkinders met 'n oppervlakkige belang
enige een met persoonlike belang om die taal te leer
school children with a superficial interest
any one with a personal interest in learning the language
Later sal die ope kursus met universiteite netwerk om ook eksamens aan te bied vir akademiese krediet. Later this open course will network with universities to offer examinations for academic credit.
Laastens, die webwerf streef daarna om die Afrikaanse klank van al sy sprekers te bied. Indien daar nie genoeg van enige streek of groep hier verteenwoordig is nie, is dit so omdat die materiaal nie beskikbaar is nie. Geen voorkeur word gegee aan 'n persoon of persone as gevolg van hulle ras, godsdiens, streek van herkoms nie. Nuwe bydraes word altyd verwelkom (geskrewe, klank, en video). Selfs kontroversieële stukke mag geplaas word, solank die gepas is vir 'n kindergehoor, m.a.w. geen inhoud met die uitbeelding van geweld, haatspraak, 'n gevloek, of benede die belt geselsies word oorweeg nie. Lastly, this website aims to offer the sound of all its speakers. Should there not be adequate content from any region or group, it is so because appropriate material has not been found. No preference will be given to any person or persons because of their race, religion, or region of origin. New contributions will always be welcomed (written, sound, or video). Even controversial pieces may be placed, as long as it is suitable for a younger audience. In other words, no content depicting violence, hate speech, cussing, or below the belt talk will be considered.
