Mr. Oblie, Emmanuel Lauren

I am a Lecturer and the Examinations Officer at the Department of Applied Linguistics of the Faculty of Foreign Languages Education. I joined the University of Education, Winneba in December 2020 after over fourteen (14) years of teaching at the pre-tertiary level.

I am also currently a PhD candidate in Applied Linguistics specializing in Second Language Writing, Language Acquisition and English Language Teaching. I am particularly passionate about developing second language learners' writing skills by bridging the gap between a thorough understanding of learners' psychological, cognitive and socio-emotional characteristics on one hand and teachers' approaches, strategies and techniques on the other hand.

I have a penchant for research, knowledge creation and knowledge dissemination, in which regard I love to explore issues in language teaching and learning as well as pragmatics and academic/classroom discourse.
