LagosismyHome: [b][b]Yes, there are many Nigerians that use English as their first language. However, compare that number to those who can't use it and those that can with limited proficiency even after attending schools up to high schools and universities. While it's also true that there are many Nigerians that have a better command of the language than the native speakers, Nigerians remain non natives. South Africans are classified as natives even though they have other language that they speak. World politics and arbitrary can't be discarded. Europeans with exceptions from the British (UK and it environs in general) are also non natives, even some of them use the language.[/b] World Englishes To better understand the use of English in different countries, Kachru conceived the idea of three concentric circles of the language. The inner circle represents the traditional bases of English: the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, anglophone Canada, and some of the Caribbean territories. The total number of English speakers in the inner circle is as high as 380 million, of whom some 120 million are outside the United States. Next comes the outer circle, which includes countries where English is not the native tongue, but is important for historical reasons and plays a part in the nation's institutions, either as an official language or otherwise. This circle includes India, Nigeria, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Malaysia, Tanzania, Kenya. The total number of English speakers in the outer circle is estimated to range from 150 million to 300 million. Finally, the expanding circle [/b]encompasses those countries where English plays no historical or governmental role, but where it is nevertheless widely used as a foreign language or lingua franca. This includes much of the rest of the world's population: China, Russia, Japan, most of Europe, Korea, Egypt, Indonesia, etc. The total in this expanding circle is the most difficult to estimate, especially because English may be employed for specific, limited purposes, usually business English. The estimates of these users range from 100 million to one billion. The inner circle (UK, US, etc.) is[b] 'norm-providing'. That means that English language norms are developed in these countries – English is the first language there. The outer circle (mainly New Commonwealth countries) is 'norm-developing'. The expanding circle (much of the rest of the world) is 'norm-dependent', because it relies on the standards set by native speakers in the inner circle. 2 Likes |

For the newbies, if you're wondering where to start ftom, read the below There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course you want to study, To save you some stress start from this website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools using a)www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most common courses, you can start from there b)www.gradschools.com c)www.google.com (you can just type 'msc in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org . 3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the information you need about the exam on the website. You will get adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I createdhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0 TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though, some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone country. For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link below, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and the simulation test. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/45tvc3ifi8wh8sh/AACXR5j6l3nsWK8vZx5P28TVa?dl=0 As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and funding opportunities, be very explicit. Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring (Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its advisable you plan towards Fall 2018. If you plan to resume in fall 2018, make sure you submit all your application documents before ending of Dec 2017. If you don't give it a trial, you will never know.My philosophy in life is to always do my part, with that I don't get to regret later. Above all, if you believe in God,pray to him..if not, good for you. Credit: femi312 |

Thanks bro.. The essence for asking is because most of the schools I intend applying to as part of their admission criteria requires an official high school transcript...so I'm pretty confused as to wether it's the evalauated WAEC result sent to WES or my sch has to send a high school transcript and its via which means? folmus: |

Hello gurus in the house, I would appreciate if you'd answer this for me. I got admitted to WIU no funding yet but I'm about applying. the former graduate coordinator once told me they don't giving GA positions to new graduate students during their first semester but as from second semester upward. can I handle the expenses for that first semester, while I work hard to get a funding by the second semester? am putting this forward to hear your opinions because I didn't apply to any other school safe WIU. |

beezyblaze:1. You can still write the text after admission and before interview, it boast your chance at the embassy. 2. No, it doesn't reflect. 3. It will increase your chance and getting a high score makes it more cool. 1 Like |
