English as a Language of Teaching and Learning for Community Secondary Schools in Tanzania

“It is correctly argued that the low proficiency of the English language among students and teachers is responsible for poor performance in secondary school examinations. The government and stakeholders must take heed of the research findings and recommendations in this book since English will continue to be used as a teaching and learning language in schools in the country for a long time. The book is strongly recommended to policymakers, students, teachers and parents in Tanzania.”
