Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Locate Chad in Central Africa and name all six countries it borders together with their directions
State the country's core data: capital, official languages, government type, area, population and currency
Explain Chad's linguistic situation - two official languages alongside more than 120 spoken ones - and greet in both official languages

Teaching tips

The phrase slides give French and Arabic side by side, so a lesson can open by having students greet each other in whichever of the two they are more likely to meet
The Arabic list carries transliterations in brackets - Marhaban, Shukran, Ma'a as-salama - which lets a class say the words without reading the script
The history slide is dense: nine dated entries in two columns, several of them involving conflict and repression. Preview it and decide which entries to dwell on before presenting

Skills covered

Locating a country by its neighbours - the borders slide names Libya, Sudan, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Nigeria and Niger with the direction of each.
Reading a country data panel - capital, official languages, demonym, government type, area, population, density and currency are set out as labelled fields.
Following a national timeline - nine dated entries run from the Kanem Empire through the French conquest of 1891-1900 to independence in 1960 and the transition of 2021.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Which languages appear in the presentation itself?

Three. The slides are written in English, and both of Chad's official languages run through them: French greetings with a six-word phrase list - Salut, Oui, Non, Merci, Comment ca va?, Au Revoir - and the Arabic equivalents in Arabic script with transliterations, Marhaban, Na'am, La, Shukran, Kayfa Halak? and Ma'a as-salama.

How far back does the history slide reach?

About seven million years, to fossils of Sahelanthropus tchadensis - the find known as Toumai. From there it moves through the Kanem Empire of the 9th to 15th centuries, Kanem-Bornu at its peak under Mai Idris Alooma, the French conquest of 1891 to 1900, the rebellion of 1915 to 1917, independence on 11 August 1960, the civil war of 1965 to 1979, Hissene Habre from 1982, Idriss Deby from 1990, and the military transition after Deby's death in 2021.

What figures does the economy slide give?

Oil as the country's top export, agriculture and livestock employing about 80% of the population, and a GDP split shown in a pie chart as 43% services, 35% agriculture and 22% industry. The currency is named as the Central African CFA franc, matching the quick-data panel earlier in the set.
