Bulelwa Makena is a Professor of Language Education; and has served as a member of the Faculty of Education Higher Degrees and Ethics Committee at Walter Sisulu University, South Africa. As a self-motivated, achievement-oriented, lateral thinker, and a doer, I am an author who has managed to publish scientific papers, all on DHET-accredited platforms. I serve as a reviewer for manuscripts published by DHET-accredited journals. As a session chair in both national and international conferences, supervising post-graduate students to the finality of their research projects/graduation, and a mentor for mentees who successfully publish articles, I have gradually sharpened my research and paper writing skills. As charity begins at home, it is worth mentioning that also mentoring colleagues within the faculty and cross has benefitted towards enhanced departmental and faculty throughput.
