ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the attitudes of Kabwe trainees towards Zambian languages being included in the curriculum at the level for which they themselves were being trained to teach. They were therefore asked directly whether Zambian languages should be taught in secondary schools. It may be of interest to give the mother tongues of students in relation to their attitudes towards whether Zambian languages should be taught in secondary schools. The subject of specialization and the language background of students could be expected to have some relevance to willingness to teach Zambian languages. No courses were offered at Kabwe either in Zambian languages or in their teaching. English was taken by more first year and second year students than any other subject. The English syllabus at the College had parts devoted to the language itself, to literature, to the teaching of English, and made provision for some research projects.
