I've acquired some Swedish teaching material from the 1970s, where Tolkien is one of the (many) authors in a literature anthology used for 16-17 year olds.
I'd be really interested to learn if anyone knows of other instances of Tolkien being taught or otherwise included in a school curriculum, the older the better. Any pointers to any materials would be greatly appreciated, especially if in English, French or Italian (which I could read).
Thanks!
Matt

Thank you gents! Interesting. I have also found that William Ready did something akin to a Cliffs Notes, for H and LOTR, which came out in 1971.
Any chance it might be this one? Published in 1971 in Canada.
Sparknotes has Hobbit & LR: https://www.sparknotes.com/author/j-r-r-tolkien/
They have been reissued thrice in China: https://book.douban.com/subject/2976456/ https://book.douban.com/subject/3300956/
And I happened to come across Английский язык с Дж.Р.Р. Толкиеном. Хоббит just yesterday.
