language textbook

Foreign tongue primer

A language textbook is a book designed for learning a foreign language, typically containing vocabulary, grammar explanations, exercises, and dialogues.

Language textbooks often progress from basic to advanced material: We're on chapter five of our Spanish language textbook.

The term distinguishes these from textbooks about language as a subject of study, such as linguistics.
