Global Swahili 3: Volume 1

The Global Swahili 3: Volume 1 is a comprehensive course designed for young non-native speakers of Swahili. It caters to learners of Swahili as a second language (SSL) and guides students in Grade 3 through a rich journey of linguistic and cultural discovery. The textbook is ideal for International students, particularly those following the Cambridge Primary/Secondary Curriculum or other global programs that aim to cultivate global citizens.

Structured to meet the needs of young learners, the Global Swahili 3: Volume 1 provides a strong foundation in both language skills and cultural understanding. It covers the five language competences outlined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL): Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing and Interactions. Each stage of the course progressively develops these skills, ensuring students gain fluency and confidence in Swahili.

The Book emphasizes a communicative-based approach making learning effective, fun and relevant. Through engaging games, life-relevant content and activities, students apply their Swahili skills in real-life contexts. This approach not only aids language mastery but also deepens cultural awareness and intercultural understanding, preparing learners to engage with the world.

By integrating language learning with life skills, this Book aims to inspire a love for Swahili and a broader appreciation for the cultures it represents, preparing students to be confident and culturally aware global citizens.
