Abstract
This supplementary examination paper for CMA125, "Description of Module," is a 3-hour assessment worth 100 marks. The paper consists of 50 compulsory questions designed to evaluate students' understanding of indigenous language media, communication, and related concepts.
The examination is structured into three main sections. Questions 1-20 are multiple-choice questions focusing on topics such as advantages and disadvantages of oral communication, types and history of indigenous language media in South Africa and Nigeria, early indigenous language newspapers, funding mechanisms for indigenous language media, and their role in a democratic dispensation.
Questions 21-40 require students to state whether given statements are true or false, covering aspects like geographic limitations of indigenous language newspapers, the existence of indigenous communication systems before the printing press, the role of missionaries in establishing early newspapers, and features of different phases in the evolution of indigenous language press.
Finally, Questions 41-50 are a matching exercise, requiring students to link terms such as Folklore, Commercial publication, Subsidiary newspaper ownership model, Progressive-centred papers, Crowdfunding, Folktales, Mainstream newspaper organisational model, Second Phase, Public Sphere, and Oral poetry with their correct definitions or descriptions related to indigenous language media and communication. The overall aim of the examination is to comprehensively assess knowledge of indigenous language media's historical context, operational aspects, and societal roles.
