Abstract	This profile, in outline form, of the English language teaching situation in the Gambia discusses the role of English within Gambian society and within the educational system. The status of English as the only official language is noted, and its use as medium of instruction at the primary, secondary and teacher-training levels is examined. The composition of the teaching cadre at all levels is discussed, as well as teaching materials, British support for English instruction and British materials in use. A general statement is provided on English literacy and the advisability and possibilities of introducing native language instruction. An appendix provides statistical background to the profile.
