1. This document summarizes the results of a study analyzing the grammar and vocabulary used in a 10th grade science textbook in Gojjam, Ethiopia.
2. The study found that the science textbook used complex grammar and advanced vocabulary that would be difficult for 10th grade students to understand. Terms were often used in Amaharic, English, and Ge'ez that students may not be familiar with.
3. The summary provides recommendations to simplify the language and explanations used in the textbook to make the material more accessible to 10th grade students in the region. Simplifying sentences, using more common vocabulary, and providing clearer examples are suggested.
