Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Akɔ́sè Reader and Grammar presents findings of over ten years of research and development in writing Akɔ́sè. It is intended to facilitate the writing, reading, and speaking of Akɔ́sè, the three important elements in language teaching. It consists of twenty-five sections which deal mainly with the grammatical structure or composition of the Akɔ́sè language, knowledge which is intended to assist the reader in reading or speaking Akɔ́sè fluently and correctly. The book deals firstly with diacritics, which, if well mastered, would enable the reader to read easily and fluently. Diacritics indicate the rise and fall of the pitch of the voice in speaking. They play an important role in Akɔ́sè in that they differentiate between tenses and pairs of words of similar spelling and, through that, give them grossly different meanings. Secondly, the book doesn’t provide passages to serve as reading material but instead provides Akɔ́sè words and sentences to be read or learnt. From the reading of words, the reader progresses to reading Akɔ́sè sentences. This is achieved through the numerous sentence drill tables in the book. Numerous exercises have been provided in the book for oral or written work. Anyone who goes through the sentence drill tables and exercises provided will undoubtedly be able to write, read and speak Akɔ́sè with comparative ease and fluently.
