The Bill of Rights is a novelty in Tanzania. As is well-known, Tanzanian Constitutions from independence to 1984 did not contain a bill of rights.

At the Faculty of Law, University of Dar es Salaam, there developed an approach to teaching which the university calendar refers to as “the historical, socio-economic” method....

Sociocultural and motivational problems relating to the communicative use of English were not considered to be as serious, as obstacles to the use of...
