'''Joy Chinwe Eyisi''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|dʒ|ɔi|_|tʃ|i:|ŋ|w|ɛ|_|ɛ|j|i|s|i}}), born on 3 September 1969, is an [[Igbo]] [[Nigeria]]n professor of [[English language|English]], [[author]], [[scholar]], [[educationalist]], and [[philanthropist]]. Between 2006 and 2010, she was Head of Department, [[English Language]] and [[Literature]], Faculty of Arts, [[Nnamdi Azikiwe University]], (NAU), [[Awka]], [[Anambra State]]. Eyisi is now the director of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), [[National Assembly]] Special Study Centre, Central Business District, [[FCT]]-[[Abuja]].
==Early years and marriage==
Joy Eyisi was born into the family of the late Sir G. N. Okpala-Nzekwe, towards the end of the [[Nigeria|Biafran War]]. She is a native of Eziora Village of Adazi-ani in [[Anaocha]] Local Government Area, [[Nigeria|Anambra State]]. After her NCE programme, she got married to Chief Ifeanyichukwu Eyisi, an Anglican [[knight]] and businessman from the same town. Her second son Noble Eyisi was once [[President]] of the Student Union Government (SUG), [[Nnamdi Azikiwe University]]. Her only daughter Joy Eyisi (Jnr) is a first-class degree graduate in English from [[Covenant University]], Ota, [[Ogun State]], [[Nigeria]].
[[Image:Nigeria linguistical map 1979.svg|thumb|350px|right|Map of Nigeria's [[Languages of Nigeria|linguistic groups]]. Eyisi's homeland, the [[Igboland|Igbo region]] (archaically spelt ''Ibo''), lies in the central south.]]
==Education and career==
For her [[primary education]], she attended... between 1975 and 1981, after which she proceeded to Girls’ High School, [[Agulu]] (1981-1986). Eyisi, as she is best cited in academia, bagged her National Certificate in Education (NCE) from State College of Education, [[Awka]] (1986-1989). She further studied at the [[University of Nigeria]], (UNN), [[Nsukka]],[[Enugu]], where she had a [[bachelor's degree]] (Second-Class Upper Division) in [[Education]] and [[English language|English]]. After her national service in 1994, she went back to her alma mater for a [[master’s degree]] programme in Teaching English as Second Language. Between 1994 and 1996, she got an M.Ed in [[Education]] [[Administration]] and School Supervision from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, where she graduated as the overall best student. In 2000, she got her [[doctorate degree]] in the same university.
Between 2000 and 2001, Eyisi started her professional career as a part-time lecturer at Nwafor Orizuo College of Education, [[Nsugbe]], though she had been a part-time lecturer at Nnamdi Azikwe University early in 1996. In 2000, the latter granted her appointment as a full-time lecturer. Her progress from Lecturer I to professorial rank in 1 October 2007 roughly took seven years to accomplish; hence she was adjudged the youngest professor in the university at that time. Joy Eyisi has been a Visiting/Adjust Professor in various tertiary institution of learning, some of which are St Paul University, Awka, (2002-2005), and [[Ebonyi State University]], [[Abakiliki]] (2001-2005).
==Notable publications==
As a scholar, Joy Eyisi is credited to have authored, co-authored, and edited a number of academic articles, journals, textbooks, motivational booklets, and conference presentations that are widely cited. Her ''Oral English for Successful Performance'' and ''Phonetics of English: A Hands-on Guide to Correct Pronunciation'' focus on how to acquire and master phonetic and phonological competence in [[English]]. Her masterpiece, ''Common Errors in the Use of English'', identifies and corrects some notable errors many speakers commit while using the [[English language]]. ''A Grammar of English: The Student’s Companion'', another of her work, takes learners into the rudiments of [[English as a second language]], while ''The Mechanics of Reading Comprehension and Summary Writing'' identifies ways readers can understand and interpret printed words. With ''The Secret of Academic Success'', Joy Eyisi encourages students to aspire for academic excellence. ''English for All Purposes: Hands-on Guide for Excellence in the Use of English'', co-authored with Chinonso Okolo and Joseph Onwe, as a reviewer noted, has the tendency to “provide a quick reference material…a refreshing tool to jog the memory about some intricate Quirk and Greenbaum university English and other text.”
==Advocacy and use of English==
Her favorite quotes “Aspire to the zenith. Never go for Very Good where Excellent is possible” and “The noblest search is the search for excellence” are inspirations for her academic achievements and leadership style. Eyisi, collaborating with other five authors in “Global Education and Language: Proposing a Universal Variety of English as a Medium of Instruction”, a journal article, proposes a shift towards the prescription and description of a mutually intelligible variety of the [[English language]] to be used only in Global Education. As a scholar who has received a number of local and international awards for her contributions in education, Joy Eyisi often advocates the correct use and teaching of [[English]] in the second language situation.
<blockquote>
''Schools must also be provided with language laboratory, standard library, among others to bring out the best among the pupils and teachers too. The current situation is deplorable. I even promised to present gift (sic) to teachers who could spell 50 words correctly at different seminars where I served as a facilitator across the country, and I can tell you that hardly could we get 10 correct answers.''
</blockquote>
The statement above captures her reservations about the poor use of [[English]] in [[Nigeria]] and [[Africa]]. It is noted that Eyisi has a strong influence on her audience in any workshop she participates in as a facilitator. In ‘’The Role of Women in Empowering Change’’, which she delivered in a workshop, Eyisi avers that childbearing should not be an excuse for furthering education, advocating that: “A girl child should be given the opportunity to be educated, she should go to school, she should acquire education.”

'''Joy Chinwe Eyisi''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|dʒ|ɔi|_|tʃ|i:|ŋ|w|ɛ|_|ɛ|j|i|s|i}}), born on 3 September 1969, is an [[Igbo]] [[Nigeria]]n professor of [[English language|English]], [[author]], [[scholar]], [[educationalist]], and [[philanthropist]]. Between 2006 and 2010, she was Head of Department, [[English Language]] and [[Literature]], Faculty of Arts, [[Nnamdi Azikiwe University]], (NAU), [[Awka]], [[Anambra State]]. Eyisi is now the director of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), [[National Assembly]] Special Study Centre, Central Business District, [[FCT]]-[[Abuja]].
==Early years and marriage==
Joy Eyisi was born into the family of the late Sir G. N. Okpala-Nzekwe, towards the end of the [[Nigeria|Biafran War]]. She is a native of Eziora Village of Adazi-ani in [[Anaocha]] Local Government Area, [[Nigeria|Anambra State]]. After her NCE programme, she got married to Chief Ifeanyichukwu Eyisi, an Anglican [[knight]] and businessman from the same town. Her second son Noble Eyisi was once [[President]] of the Student Union Government (SUG), [[Nnamdi Azikiwe University]]. Her only daughter Joy Eyisi (Jnr) is a first-class degree graduate in English from [[Covenant University]], Ota, [[Ogun State]], [[Nigeria]].
[[Image:Nigeria linguistical map 1979.svg|thumb|350px|right|Map of Nigeria's [[Languages of Nigeria|linguistic groups]]. Eyisi's homeland, the [[Igboland|Igbo region]] (archaically spelt ''Ibo''), lies in the central south.]]
==Education and career==
For her [[primary education]], she attended... between 1975 and 1981, after which she proceeded to Girls’ High School, [[Agulu]] (1981-1986). Eyisi, as she is best cited in academia, bagged her National Certificate in Education (NCE) from State College of Education, [[Awka]] (1986-1989). She further studied at the [[University of Nigeria]], (UNN), [[Nsukka]],[[Enugu]], where she had a [[bachelor's degree]] (Second-Class Upper Division) in [[Education]] and [[English language|English]]. After her national service in 1994, she went back to her alma mater for a [[master’s degree]] programme in Teaching English as Second Language. Between 1994 and 1996, she got an M.Ed in [[Education]] [[Administration]] and School Supervision from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, where she graduated as the overall best student. In 2000, she got her [[doctorate degree]] in the same university.
Between 2000 and 2001, Eyisi started her professional career as a part-time lecturer at Nwafor Orizuo College of Education, [[Nsugbe]], though she had been a part-time lecturer at Nnamdi Azikwe University early in 1996. In 2000, the latter granted her appointment as a full-time lecturer. Her progress from Lecturer I to professorial rank in 1 October 2007 roughly took seven years to accomplish; hence she was adjudged the youngest professor in the university at that time. Joy Eyisi has been a Visiting/Adjust Professor in various tertiary institution of learning, some of which are St Paul University, Awka, (2002-2005), and [[Ebonyi State University]], [[Abakiliki]] (2001-2005).
==Notable publications==
As a scholar, Joy Eyisi is credited to have authored, co-authored, and edited a number of academic articles, journals, textbooks, motivational booklets, and conference presentations that are widely cited. Her ''Oral English for Successful Performance'' and ''Phonetics of English: A Hands-on Guide to Correct Pronunciation'' focus on how to acquire and master phonetic and phonological competence in [[English]]. Her masterpiece, ''Common Errors in the Use of English'', identifies and corrects some notable errors many speakers commit while using the [[English language]]. ''A Grammar of English: The Student’s Companion'', another of her work, takes learners into the rudiments of [[English as a second language]], while ''The Mechanics of Reading Comprehension and Summary Writing'' identifies ways readers can understand and interpret printed words. With ''The Secret of Academic Success'', Joy Eyisi encourages students to aspire for academic excellence. ''English for All Purposes: Hands-on Guide for Excellence in the Use of English'', co-authored with Chinonso Okolo and Joseph Onwe, as a reviewer noted, has the tendency to “provide a quick reference material…a refreshing tool to jog the memory about some intricate Quirk and Greenbaum university English and other text.”
==Advocacy and use of English==
Her favorite quotes “Aspire to the zenith. Never go for Very Good where Excellent is possible” and “The noblest search is the search for excellence” are inspirations for her academic achievements and leadership style. Eyisi, collaborating with other five authors in “Global Education and Language: Proposing a Universal Variety of English as a Medium of Instruction”, a journal article, proposes a shift towards the prescription and description of a mutually intelligible variety of the [[English language]] to be used only in Global Education. As a scholar who has received a number of local and international awards for her contributions in education, Joy Eyisi often advocates the correct use and teaching of [[English]] in the second language situation.
<blockquote>
''Schools must also be provided with language laboratory, standard library, among others to bring out the best among the pupils and teachers too. The current situation is deplorable. I even promised to present gift (sic) to teachers who could spell 50 words correctly at different seminars where I served as a facilitator across the country, and I can tell you that hardly could we get 10 correct answers.''
</blockquote>
The statement above captures her reservations about the poor use of [[English]] in [[Nigeria]] and [[Africa]]. It is noted that Eyisi has a strong influence on her audience in any workshop she participates in as a facilitator. In ‘’The Role of Women in Empowering Change’’, which she delivered in a workshop, Eyisi avers that childbearing should not be an excuse for furthering education, advocating that: “A girl child should be given the opportunity to be educated, she should go to school, she should acquire education.”
