Abstract:
The author has taught Akan (Asante-Twi) to both native and non-native speakers
for over three decades now, and he has been able to prepare a bunch of
learning materials for the various levels of study. Most of his non-Akan
students have already made or are currently making effective use of their
Asante-Twi in Ghana. Nevertheless, he realizes that learners still lack
adequate material for quick review and effective practice of what they learn.
This has often made it hard for them to adequately measure how much they have
been able to absorb. Wo Nso Ka Bi: Akan Basic Grammar and Practice (BG&P) has
been written not only to help solve this major problem, but also to arm the
learner with the required interest and self-confidence. The communicative
language teaching (CLT) approach, which is centered around learning to
communicate, has been emphasized in recent times, but, as experience has
clearly demonstrated, this approach (vibrantly useful, though) is unable to
capture the full picture single-handedly. BG&P (in its twelve separate units)
offers an alternative to the CLT model, combining different approaches, with
reading, role play, translation, construction, and experiential reporting as
the major tasks available to learners.
