ENGLISH
Mission
The English Department strengthens the liberal education of students by developing a deepened understanding of language and literacy, the value of critical reading and effective writing, and the richness of literature, past and present.
Vision
We seek to foster knowledge and a love of literature and of language in our students. To this end we will provide students in all emphasis areas with a coherent curricular framework and relevant, well-structured course choices. We will teach a variety of literary, analytical, pedagogical, and theoretical skills. We will teach students to speak, read, and write effectively. We will encourage students to think deeply and to reflect on what they have learned. We will encourage a love of learning and an appreciation for a liberal education.
Aims and Objectives
(A) to communicate effectively and appropriately in real-life situation.
(B) to use English effectively for study purpose across the curriculum.
(C) to develop and integrate the use of the four language skills i.e. Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing.
(D) to develop interest in and appreciation of Literature.
(E) to revise and reinforce structure already learnt.
(F) to develop an interest in the appreciation of Literature.
(G) Students should be encouraged to think on their own and form their ideas using their experience, knowledge and Imagination than being text or teacher dependent.
The objectives of the Department of English are closely related to those of the University as a whole, but also reflect the special nature of our discipline and our commitment to literature, language, and the arts. Our commitment to the quality of education that we offer is reflected in our determination to maintain a relatively low student/teacher ratio and to give our students the benefit of direct contact with scholars in the field.
