Group work, an important tool in teaching for holistic formation, is mostly frustrating in its implementation at the Christian Bilingual University of Congo. Many teachers view it negatively due to the desire to always seek selfish interest. This desire originates from the DRC’s educational system, a legacy from the colonialists.
Celestin Mukirania is a language teacher, faculty development coordintor, and bilingual education coach at CI-UCBC (Congo Initiative – Université Chrétienne Bilingue du Congo). He has planned and faciliated several professional development sessions. He is much passionate about teaching English and some general education content courses. Célestin and his wife Sylvie are blessed with two young daughters: Gradi and Gradel.
