Language Supportive Textbooks

angelinebarrett2













In 2013-2015, the Language Supportive Textbooks project created three proto-type textbooks for the first year of secondary education (Grade 8) in Tanzania.


The textbooks serve as examples of teaching and learning materials for multilingual learners. Key features include:

  • bilingual vocabulary lists, to help students build on previous learning in another language;

  • short sentences to make the books easy to read;

  • images that help learners interpret the text; and

  • activities that build language skills.


We share the textbooks here, together with the reports from the research that informed their design. We hope that you will find in them ideas that can be adapted for other contexts.
