A general overview of the role of language in education is given. The study area is  down to language in  in Tanzania , Africa . The Tanzanian language situation will be taken as a case analysis though other cases will be cited.  The methodology applied in this study is early dialect studies , sociolinguistic interviews  and  polling techniques  such as  (i)Speech records(ii)In-person and telephone polling technique (iii) The in-person rapid and anonymous survey- elicited and  un- elicited type. This type of approach is often referred to in the field as they are of "formal" linguistics. People use the term "formal" because such investigation revolves around constructing formal models that allow us to understand how various subparts or modules of the linguistic grammar function. These sub-parts or modules consist of the areas are phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. The study  focus here on a major aspect of sociolinguistic research in the past decades, an area generally referred to as language variation. As its own name implies, language variation focuses on how language varies in different contexts, where context refers to things like ethnicity, social class, sex, geography, age, and a number of other factors.
