A set of instructional materials for Mende is designed for Peace Corps volunteer language instruction and geared to the daily language needs of volunteers in Sierra Leone. It consists of two parts, a series of lessons on situations emphasizing vocabulary development through dialogues and drills, and a series of grammar lessons. Only the first eight dialogues contain English, and all are designed for the use of audio-lingual instructional methods. Dialogue topics include greetings and introductions, bargaining, giving and getting directions, begging, sickness, travel by truck, socializing, the tailor, dating, and proverbs. (MSE)
