MA YCNKAN AKAN (TWI)
Intermediate Level
Main Features
y The purpose of this book is to develop the Linguistic and communicative skills of learners of
Akan Twi. This will help them to have balanced functional knowledge of linguistic
structures and a sound vocabulary, as well as the ability to use their skills appropriately in real-
life situations.
y The book also encourages students to be systematically involved in activities requiring the
communicative use of all the four language skills: speaking, listening, writing, and reading.
^ Culture and language are integrated in the book in a way to enable students to achieve both
the linguistic competence and the cultural awareness.
Dr. Seth Antwi Ofon teaches linguistics courses and the Akan
language at the university level. He is also the author of Ma YCnka
Akan (Twi) (Elementary Level - African Language Let’s Speak Series):
A Multidimensional Approach to the Teaching and Learning of Akan
(Twi), which is the first year version of this book. Dr. Ofon has written
extensively on the Akan language, linguistically, pedagogically, and also
culturally.
