Also On 21st November 2018, the Chair Department of Humanities and Language Education, Associate Professor Mathias Mulumba (PhD) revealed that good news from South Africa (University of Stellenbosch) indicated that Mr. jjingo Caesar (now Dr. Jjingo) assistant Lecture from his department had successfully defended his PhD. I quote what he said “Dear colleagues, I have received good news from South Africa (University of Stellenbosch). Mr. jjingo Caesar (now Dr. Jjingo) successfully defended his PhD and will graduate on 13th Dec 2018. This is the second PhD attained by an academic member of staff from the department this year (2018).

The title of Mr. Jjingo Caesar (now Dr. Jjingo) study was “COGNITIVE TASK ANALYSIS IN TASK-BASED SYLLABUS DESIGN FOR THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF KISWAHILI AS A SECOND LANGUAGE IN UGANDAN SECONDARY SCHOOLS”. The genesis of his theoretically informed dissertation was motivated by researcher’s need to explore both available and suitable conventional teaching and learning practices that are globally accepted with the aim of utilising them in Kiswahili L2 teacher-training at the School of Education, Makerere University, Uganda.
All the above PhD defences were followed by very big number of congratulatory messages from staff in the college wishing them the success upon that well deserved achievement in their academic careers
