"Lost in Transition" explores the potential challenges faced by isiXhosa-speaking children who enter educational environments with early English immersion. The book delves into the complexities of language acquisition, particularly when a child's primary language (isiXhosa) is not the dominant language of instruction (English). It examines how this immersion can impact a child's development of isiXhosa writing skills. "Lost in Transition" explores potential drawbacks like vocabulary gaps, interference from English grammar, and a disconnect between thought and expression in isiXhosa. The book doesn't shy away from the potential consequences, such as decreased confidence and stunted creativity in isiXhosa writing. However, it also offers solutions. Strategies for promoting strong isiXhosa literacy alongside English language learning are explored. "Lost in Transition" is a valuable resource for educators, parents, and anyone concerned with fostering balanced multilingual development in isiXhosa-speaking children
