Department of English Language & Literature
English Language and Literature was established as a discipline of higher learning of the nineteenth century, in 1952. It has been at the forefront of national higher education, offering the full range of undergraduate and postgraduate study programs. Having started with a philological into the English language and canonical literary texts written in English, the field underwent a dynamic transformation over the last century, engaging with other forms of knowledge, such as linguistics, cultural studies, and media studies. Along with such disciplinary innovations, however, English Language and Literature has retained as its central concern of fostering creative and critical abilities through an in-depth study of literary and cultural texts produced in English.
The undergraduate program focuses on three main areas: English Language Acquisition, English Linguistics, and English Literary studies. By studying wide variety of texts produced in different parts of the world, students learn to appreciate cultural differences and understand the profundities of the human experience.
