Applied Linguist, Researcher & Language Educator

Wemimo Aluko is an applied linguist and researcher who studies how multilingual people learn and use language in real life: in writing, in speech, and on social media. Her research spans second-language writing, pronunciation and intelligibility, translanguaging, and AI-assisted language learning, and her work on translanguaging among Nigerian influencers will be presented at AAAL and TESOL International in 2027.

She brings that research into the classroom and into learning design. She teaches first-year college reading and writing at East Texas A&M University, has more than four years of experience teaching English to multilingual learners in Nigeria and the United States, and designs courses and lesson materials that help learners write and speak with confidence.
