Textbook for Neurodivergent Students

This was a group project done under the English Language Teaching course that was a part of my MA programme. The idea was to design English textbooks for non typical students, and my group chose to focus our book on neurodivergent school students. As part of the project, I observed lectures by different teachers working in the special needs education sector at the Linguiphile Skills Hub and interviewed their head, Naomi Menon in order to understand the different aspects we should take into consideration while designing our textbook. This included the colour scheme used, progression of difficulty levels through the chapters, the nature of the content, etc. I formulated the curriculum and content for two of the chapters and was responsible for the graphic design of the entire textbook.

Personal Tuitions Project

This was a project under the English Language Teaching course of my MA programme. Along with a classmate, I undertook the task of taking private lessons in English for the domestic help at my student accomodation. The aim was to inculcate usable skills in speaking, listening, writing and reading with respect to the student's specific day to day needs from the language. The curriculum was thus designed taking into account the diction and themes that would come in use for the student based on her daily life. The project was first inspired when I noticed the student struggling to help her son with his schoolwork, so her son's textbook was taken as reference.

An Anthology of Poems about Fear

This is a solo project I undertook as part of the World Literatures course of my MA programme. I was expected to compile a literary anthology, and was given complete liberty to decide on the nature and content of the anthology. I chose to take this opportunity to delve into an exploration of fear—an emotion deeply woven into the human experience, yet one that society often seeks to suppress. I initially chose fear because I felt sorry for the emotion, forever being subject to apathy and starring in the yearns of everyone as something to be shunned. The most wonderful part of the project, however, was that I could deal with an entirely literary project without being tasked with the questionable job of analyzing or critiquing it.
