In this episode of our 2026 Registration Roadshow, recorded live at the Coetzenburg Centre, we explore the heart of the Matie experience: language. Jacolette Kloppers sits down with Sanet de Jager, Senior Interpreter and Marketing Liaison for the Stellenbosch University Language Centre, to discuss how mastering your self-expression is the ultimate key to academic success.
Language is more than just a tool for communication; it is a vehicle for our stories, our cultures, and our identities. Sanet provides an essential guide for the #ClassOf2026 on how to navigate a multilingual campus and where to find the support needed to thrive.
In this episode, we dive into:
- The Power of Multilingualism: Why being able to express yourself properly is vital for both personal growth and academic achievement.
- Essential Student Services: A deep dive into the Writing Lab and Reading Lab, and how these resources can transform your approach to university assignments.
- Stories and Culture: The value of embracing your identity through language within the diverse Stellenbosch community.
- First-Year Advice: Practical tips from the Language Centre on how to hit the ground running and where to reach out for help.
Whether you need help refining an essay or want to improve your reading speed, this conversation highlights the services available to help every student find their voice in Matieland.
Your Maties journey starts here. Once a Matie, always a Matie. MFM 92.6 – celebrating the start of your story.
