Topic: Translation Studies And Language Education
Description: My research is oriented towards enlightening individuals and institutions on the importance of Translation and Interpretation as a unifying force in the world and shedding light on the task of translating and interpreting which people normally misconstrue as mere replacing of the words of one language by those of another language.My research into teaching and learning of French language and Translation also highlights the importance of acquiring a second language in this era of globalization, with particular reference to the advantage of fluency in French in the ECOWAS sub-region. French being the second international language could lead to improved international relations and peaceful co-habitation globally.
