Siesie wo ho sie: Akan (Asante-Twi) elementary vocabulary is a revised edition of the author's Tie ma mense wo: Basic vocabulary for Asante-Twi learners, which is currently out of print. Its main goal is to provide beginners of Akan (Asante-Twi) with the basic words and expressions that they are required to master by the end of the course. As the new title clearly suggests, the text is here to help users plan their language learning trip. The provision of exhaustive meanings and use of individual entries is practically beyond the scope of the compilation, but some vital points of explanation have been carefully added to facilitate comprehension. Also, some useful items such as parts of the human body, cardinal numbers, and days of the week, which are usually taught in formal lessons, have not been included in the present word list.

Based on an extended ethnographic study of a dual language (Spanish-English) Kindergarten, this book takes a critical look at children's linguistic (and non-linguistic) interactions and the ways that teaching design can help or hinder language development. With a focus on official “Spanish time”, it explores the particular challenges of supporting the minority language use as well as the teacher's strategies for doing so. In bilingual classrooms, teachers' goals include bilingualism as well as academic achievement for all. The children may share these interests, but have their own agendas as well. This book explores the linguistic and social interactions that may help, or hinder, these multiple and sometimes conflicting agendas. How can teachers design educational practice that takes into consideration broader forces of language hegemony as well as children's immediate interests?
