Dear all, I need some kind information on this SEVIS Fee! I had paid the fee last year (March 26) for an (M.A.) admission I couldn't resume for. I re-applied and got an admission (now for a PhD) in the same school with the same SEVIS ID. I understand the one-year expiration of the SEVIS fee but when I tried to pay for another using the ID, it brought the prompt that I had already paid the fee. Now I am confused as to what to do because the Fee should have expired last month (March). I'd appreciate comments and pieces of advice on the next line of actions. Thank you very much. |

adedoja99: Well, I don't quite agree with this. The study of English transcends the ability to speak the language. Take English Phonology for instance. Any serious student of phonology must not only be abreast with the bookish knowledge of that aspect of English but also practice what's learnt in language labs and analyse speech sequences with application packages like Pract. I don't know of many institutions (federal and state maybe) with such facilities. Thus, the fact that I'm born in a country where English is the official language doesn't mean I'll be fully equipped with necessary knowledge to succeed as a student of the language. Thanks. 3 Likes |

Fan01: Thank you for this improperly construed sarcastic response of yours. And yes sir, the institution has what you could refer to as a 'state-of-the-art facility' for digital humanities program for research in Humanities, within which English subsists. Thanks though. 6 Likes |

Chidinho10: Thank you very much for this! I must confess that I find it quite challenging to do the short responses and I know that I need to work on it. Could I be welcome to send you a mail? Thanks immensely. 1 Like |

learner007: Thank you for this. But for the studentship credibility: 1. GRE and IELTS... *yes* 2. Funding/assistantship... *yes* 3 Intention to return: Yes. A. Return to pick up a lecturing job as this study will on 2-fold (exploring the discipline in the first language situation and concentrating on a budding area of research) make me recommendable by my academic networks, one of whom already gave an assurance (via an exchange of mail). B. Utilise the knowledge in Digital humanities to network with experts in AI in Nigeria to proffer workable plans on leveraging technological tools and machine for optimising the learning and teaching of English in Nigeria and development of other Nigerian languages. I know a PhD would have been without much hassles but I'm just trying to present my reasons for deciding on a master's during registration. Thank you as I anticipate more opinions. |

Ubah1: Lol... He not she. Thank you for your invaluable opinion. May I, however, note that the study of English in Nigeria is focused on 3 or 4 areas of concentration. Nothing much (academics/discussions) on the area of research I hope to major in: Rhetoric and composition. So, my thought for going for another master's in English is to redirect my area of research to this new focus. As this will enhance my chances to pick up a lecturing role (in writing units/immersion prog unit) and serve as a background for academic progression in an area I'd like to be an expert and authority in via a PhD degree. This is on the broader outlook. Thanks. |

Good morning everyone. Many thanks to everyone who has made this group quite enlightening. This is my first post here and I think I need more enlightenment. Visa denied twice at the Lagos consulate Brief background: I hold an M.A. degree in English (concentration: Syntax) but I was admitted on a full scholarship into Uni of Louisville for a master’s program in Rhetoric and Composition (under English dept). However, on the two occasions of my interview, the need for another master’s in the same discipline was always the brick wall. VO: Why are you going to the US Me: I’m going to the US to resume into the dept of English, Uni of Louisville for a master’s programme in Rhetoric and composition VO: What is your highest qualification? Me: A master’s in English VO: So why are you going for a master’s in the same discipline Me: Though under the broad discipline of English, I am going to study for another master’s because of my change of research focus. My first master’s was on Syntax but my understanding that Rhetoric and composition is a relatively new area of study in Nigeria which has little academics who specialize in it made me decide to take on this master’s to lead discussion in the area and be among those to frontier it into prominence in Nigeria (I might not have fully captured all word-for-word). VO: Which other schools did you apply to Me: BGSU, UND, WSU VO: What made you choose Uof L Me: The university is one of the well ranked public research institutions with cutting edge research capacities. It gives the opportunity to translate research findings into innovative practices through participation in conferences and workshop. I am excited to state that I was offered the opportunity to present one of my research works at the Discourse and Semiotics workshop also. I was about furthering with my reasons for the choice of the school and he brought the blue stuff out. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated as I planto give it a shot one last time. Thank you all. 1 Like 1 Share |

Good morning and Happy new month everyone. Please permit this question of mine. Are we to send our pdf packaged application to this mail: recruitment@fuoye.edu.ng or what does 'send application online mean'? I seem confusedly unsure. Thanks for any useful info. |

abdulstech: I am part of those invited for the Stanbic IBTC 2014 Graduate Trainee Program Test last friday (22/November 2013) in there corporate headquarter, Carrington Walter Crescent, Victoria Island. On getting there, I was surprise with the number of invited applicants (very few, not up to 10 in my batch). Initially, I was thinking maybe am in the wrong place but I was exactly in the right place. Before the test, we are are made to understand that the unsuccessful ones will be mailed yesterday or today. SHL assessment things. And have you received any mail yet? Tot it was scam! |
