Biography

Growing up in a multilingual environment, Jude became an enthusiast for languages thus a B.A. French from KNUST, and an M.A. French Literature from Mississippi State University. Perplexed by the intricacies of language acquisition, Jude pursued an MA in Applied Linguistics. His experience as a teaching assistant, a language learner, coupled with the ever-evolving phase of technology ignited a passion to explore how modern-day technology can be pedagogically incorporated into language learning environments.
