This Reading Comprehension / Informational Text is suitable for advanced to proficient ESL learners or native English speakers.
The text explores the emergence and history of apartheid in South Africa. Translated from Afrikaans, apartheid means ‘apartness’ and it was an ideology supported by the National Party (NP) government introduced in South Africa in 1948. Apartheid laws attempted to stop all inter-marriage and social integration between black and white people and forced the different racial groups to live separately and “develop” separately in grossly unequal terms.
After carefully reading the text, students are required to complete some comprehension exercises including comprehension questions, a definition match, a multiple choice exercise and a crossword.
The text can also be used for vocabulary building purposes. An ideal activity for Black History month. (celebrated in February in the United States and Canada, and in October for the Netherlands & the United Kingdom)
