Abstract
The paper seeks to engage constructively with the challenges and
opportunities Indigenous Knowledge (IK) may offer disciplines in Language
Practice. The approach will be contextualized in terms of the theoretical shift in
knowledge production and use, as well as the current debate pertaining to the
feasibility of the incorporation of IK into curricula. Specific attention will be
rendered to topics of Africanizing scholarship, a performance model of
knowledge, the socio-cultural embeddedness of language, and brief thoughts
on the translation of the oral. These thematic issues are of particular
importance to Language Practice, perceived here to be at the gateway
between theory of language/communication and receiver communities.
