Goals and objectives of B.A. English

About the Department

 

The department of English believes in rendering quality education along with the moral values to the students. It emphasizes on basic understanding of English language and hence encourages students coming from vernacular medium to develop and improve their English language. Various assignments, projects and activities given here sharpen their speaking, writing and communication skills allowing them to articulate their thoughts and ideas in spoken and written form.

The department offers mixture of literature and language. The literary genres and theories included here not only develop their critical thinking but also help students to explore any literary piece of work with broader perspectives. They understand social, political, historical, cultural impact on writers and their work. The department has also introduced a paper on Indian Writing in English which familiarize students with some prominent Indian writers and their works.

As we aim at building language competency, we offer electives like phonetics and translation that give a better understanding of aspects of the language. Regular sessions in the well-equipped language lab helps students to practice and improve their language.

The objectives of teaching English Language to the students are to equip them to use language in an efficient and effective manner. The idea is to empower an average student in such a way that learning English becomes a pleasurable endeavor. It is with this aim in mind that the new topics and text books have been chosen for English Language Program. The focus of the new text books is two-fold: to teach finer nuances of language, Linguistics, Phonetics and Phonology through an integrated approach;and to teach composition through activity-based, not rule-based approach. For this reason, we have consciously chosen topics and text books that de-emphasize literature and re-set our focus on the study of language.
