language textbooks
Foreign tongue manuals
Language textbooks are books designed to teach a foreign or second language, typically combining vocabulary, grammar explanations, exercises, and dialogues.
They progress from basic to advanced levels: We used the same Spanish textbook for two semesters.
The term sometimes extends to books about one's native language, covering composition or style.
