David Ker in Africa

I have worked in Mozambique in the areas of Bible translation, linguistic description, materials development and electronic publishing.
I'm currently writing a Masters dissertation in Linguistics at the University of Cape Town. My thesis is "Writing practices in a bilingual Mozambican primary school."
I'm a member of Wycliffe Bible Translators USA serving with SIL Mozambique. The information contained on this blog is my own and doesn't necessarily reflect the position or policies of any of the organizations with which I am affiliated.
