This book, English for Ordinary Secondary Schools, has been written specifically
FOR ONLINE READING ONLY
for Form Three students in the United Republic of Tanzania. It is based on the 2023
English Syllabus for Ordinary Secondary Education Form I – IV, issued by the
Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST).

The book has fifteen chapters, namely Organising information, Using grammar
and vocabulary in communication, Reading for comprehension, Listening for

Communicating orally, Writing formal texts, Editing and proofreading, Interpreting
oral texts, Translating written texts, Genres of literature, Aesthetics and values in

Each chapter contains a variety of activities designed to help you (the learner)
acquire the four language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In
addition, the book contains engaging exercises, real-life examples, and interactive
activities that will help you develop reading, writing, translation, and interpretation
skills. The activities are systematically organised to allow practice of the intended
language skills, grammar and vocabulary items. Each practice allows interaction
between you, your peers, and the teacher.

You are, therefore, encouraged to perform all activities in this textbook and other
activities that will be provided by the teacher to improve your ability to use English
in different contexts.
