Raheemah Arogundade has been named the best graduate student in a master’s program at Aston University, UK, just a few years after breaking a record 21-year English department at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
In her interview with ENIOLA OYEMOLADE, the education enthusiast talks about her love for the English language, her ambitions, and more.
She mastered in teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) after she had bagged her Bachelor of Arts (B.A) in Obafemi Awolowo University.
She mentioned how she gained her admission into Aston university for her master’s programs.
She said, ” I selected Aston University because I received the vice chancellor’s scholarship which greatly contributed towards the affordability of the course”.
She furthered, “The process was really easy. I submitted an online application which includes my personal statement, CV, transcript and certificate. I also had to prove my English language proficiency through the WAEC certificate and a letter of English language proficiency from my past institution. Thereafter, I awaited the offer. I didn’t have to pay any application fee. The postgraduate application system in the UK is actually straightforward”.
“So far, I’ve had a smooth academic trajectory and the consistency has been there since my senior secondary school days. By consistency, I mean I have been the best graduating arts student in high school and the best graduating student during my first degree”.
She was asked the most interesting part of studying English Language. She answered, “The study of languages has different aspects which are of interest to me. Perhaps, I enjoy studying language because I’m a bilingual myself, and typically I am curious about how humans acquire or process languages”.
