About

I am an experienced English language lecturer who has taught for over three decades in Nigeria, Swaziland, Namibia and now in South Africa, in the Department of English Studies at the University of South Africa, Pretoria. My research interests include theoretical and applied linguistics, language and technology, literature, literacy, sociolinguistics, onomastics and indigenous language documentation and preservation. I am passionate about the teaching and learning of English in a second language context and the usage of Owé, my indigenous language, on social media and networks. I have authored a book based on my Ph. D thesis titled Pronominal Co-reference in Educated Nigerian English Usage: A Study in Error Analysis.
