Hi there,

I am also an ex-student of NUML. I did my Masters in English Language and Literature. Siddd has already been an important contributer, however, I just hopped in to say that I shall be pleased if I be of some help.

I had my TEFL-B presentation on Figures of Speech, I am attaching that file here, maybe it proves of some help. It might be very simple ('coz we'd to teach Secondary School level) but still you can have something good from it, I am sure.

Linguistics subjects yield more marks than Literature. Subjects like General Linguistics, Socio-Psycho Linguistics etc are like science. You might be able to get good marks there. I was much interested in Literature, I managed to get a lot of marks there. In Drama, Prose, Poetry, and Novel, my marks were 841 out of 1200. So you can have an idea about NUML's markings.

I agree with siddd that Teachers might not like the number of sheets, on the contrary, they like the stuff that is brief and comprehensive, and delivers all that is required, not more no less. For example, you may write a set of ten leaves on Reference to the context, but you must know the basic difference between Referene to the Context and summary writing. So if you are to-the-point you get more chances of 'impressing' the paper checker.

Linguistics is not a 'Productive' field. Means you are less expected to use 'your own hypothesis' which you may use, successfully, in Literature.

Best of Luck for your M.A. English,

Regards.

thanx alot yes its going to help me alot. U r doing tefl frm aiou?
