DESCRIPTORS Adults; Autoinstructional Aids; Bantu Languages; *Bemba; Communicative Competence (Languages);Drills (Practice); Foreign Countries; *Independent Study; Native Speakers; *Second Language Learning; Speech Communication IDENTIFIERS Zambia ABSTRACT The second language learning methods ofSouthern Baptist missionaries in Zambia are described.Instead of studying the new language in a schoolsetting, the student receives a week of orientation and is then placed in the community andexpected to practice communicating with the native speakers at everyopportunity. The student follows a course prepared bythe Foreign Service Institute and uses textbooks for self-teaching.The emphasis is placed on observation of and involvementwith the native population as well as frequent practicespeaking the new language with native speakers. A native language informantis employed by each missionary to assist in intonation andpronunciation. A series of language drill tapes and a self:paced programtitled "First Lessons in Bemba" provide support for language practice. Thestudent prepares a speech related to daily, living and then practicesit in the community as often as possible during the course of aday. This language learning approach has been successful and widelyaccepted by the Zambians. It is seen as a means of combatting theethnocentrism and cultural myopia prevalent in the United States andlearning about the diverse languages and cultures of the world.(RW) *********************************************************************** * * Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that canbe made * * from the original document.

  • Report20 Uniting to End Malaria 501(C)3
    PHOTO BY PAUL ISHII ANNUAL REPORT20 Uniting to End Malaria 501(c)3. EIN: 46-1380419 No one can foresee the duration or severity of COVID’s human and economic toll. But the malaria global health community agrees it will be disastrous to neglect or underinvest in malaria during this period, and thereby squander a decade of hard won progress. By some estimates, halting malaria intervention efforts could trigger a return to one million malaria deaths per year, a devastating mortality rate unseen since 2004. To that end many of our efforts last year were to strategically advocate for continued global malaria funding, as well as supporting COVID adjustments to ensure malaria projects were not delayed. Last year we supplied Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to over 700 Rotary-funded community health workers (CHWs) in Uganda and Zambia; altered CHW The training to incorporate appropriate social distancing; conducted several webinars specifically focused on maintaining malaria financial support despite COVID; and we provided $50,000 to the Alliance for Malaria Prevention used for COVID/malaria public education in Africa. Jeff Pritchard Board Chair While our near-term work must accommodate pandemic restrictions, we are still firmly committed to our mission, “to generate a broad international Rotary campaign for the global elimination of malaria.” During the coming twelve months we intend to: • Implement a blueprint developed in 2020 for a large long-term Road malaria program with Rotary, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and World Vision, in the most underserved regions of Zambia’s Central and Muchinga Provinces, positively impacting nearly 1.4 million residents.

  • Agrarian Changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia
    7 Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia Davison J Gumbo, Kondwani Y Mumba, Moka M Kaliwile, Kaala B Moombe and Tiza I Mfuni Summary Over the past decade issues pertaining to land sharing/land sparing have gained some space in the debate on the study of land-use strategies and their associated impacts at landscape level. State and non-state actors have, through their interests and actions, triggered changes at the landscape level and this report is a synthesis of some of the main findings and contributions of a scoping study carried out in Zambia as part of CIFOR’s Agrarian Change Project. It focuses on findings in three villages located in the Nyimba District. The villages are located on a high (Chipembe) to low (Muzenje) agricultural land-use gradient. Nyimba District, which is located in the country’s agriculturally productive Eastern Province, was selected through a two-stage process, which also considered another district, Mpika, located in Zambia’s Muchinga Province. The aim was to find a landscape in Zambia that would provide much needed insights into how globally conceived land-use strategies (e.g. land-sharing/land-sparing trajectories) manifest locally, and how they interact with other change processes once they are embedded in local histories, culture, and political and market dynamics. Nyimba District, with its history of concentrated and rigorous policy support in terms of agricultural intensification over different epochs, presents Zambian smallholder farmers as victims and benefactors of policy pronouncements. This chapter shows Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia • 235 the impact of such policies on the use of forests and other lands, with agriculture at the epicenter.

  • St-Georges Platinum Enters Into an Agreement to Acquire Copper-Cobalt-Nickel Projects in the Zambian Copper Belt
    ST-GEORGES PLATINUM ENTERS INTO AN AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE COPPER-COBALT-NICKEL PROJECTS IN THE ZAMBIAN COPPER BELT Montreal, Quebec, February 5th, 2014 – St-Georges Platinum & Base Metals ltd (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of two mineral mining projects in the Kasempa and Mwinilunga Districts in Western Zambia. Shongwa Project (Kasempa District) The Shongwa IOCG & Nickel project is located in Northwestern Zambia. The project area lies approximately 60km northwest of the town of Kasempa in northwest Zambia. The area is poorly developed with only minor trails away from the gravel Kasempa-Kaoma road link. The area consists of forested and relatively flat covered plains with some rolling hills and some permanent watercourses. Minor areas of habitation and subsistence farming exist to the south of Shongwa. The Large Scale Prospecting License (LPL) 14817-HQ-LPL covers an area of 726 square km. It was recently converted into 3 mining licenses covering the same total territory. The Shongwa project is the site of one of the oldest known deposits in Zambia dating back to the fourth century. Since the rediscovery of these ancient workings in 1899, the area has been mined intermittently for the recovery of high-grade copper ore. From 1903 until 1914, copper was recovered by underground mining of high-grade veins, followed by hand sorting and direct smelting. Mining activities terminated with the onset of World War 1. In 1952 further exploration and mine development commenced, with minimum production in 1956. Sulphide concentrate was also produced onsite from rich vein ore from lower mine levels utilizing a small concentrator.

  • Immediate Media Statement Regarding KCM
    Immediate media statement regarding KCM Vedanta Resources and Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) are aware of media reports that Zambian state owned company, ZCCM-IH, has obtained an ex-parte order against KCM. ZCCM-IH owns 20.6% of KCM and has its nominees on the company’s board. Vedanta and KCM reiterate their request for an immediate and urgent meeting with his Excellency, Edgar Lungu, President of the Republic of Zambia, to discuss the matter. Vedanta is a long-standing, loyal investor in KCM and in Zambia having invested over US$3 billion since the acquisition of the asset in 2004. The company employs nearly 13,000 people at its sites and operates clinics, hospitals and schools through its corporate social responsibility programme that amounts to over US$210 million since the acquisition. KCM has contributed c.US$1.3 billion to the Zambian Exchequer in that period and continues to be the leading Pay As You Earn contributor in the country. For the year ended 31 March 2019, Vedanta provided KCM with financial support (including funding of loan repayments) of US$419 million. These significant financial and social investments combined with exponential rises in taxes, duties, fuel and power costs have placed an enormous and unaffordable burden on the company. The most recent restrictions and duty on concentrates have negatively impacted the running of the smelter and the much-needed acid to run its operations. In addition, the Zambian government owes the company more than US$180 million in VAT refunds which has made the situation even more challenging.
