Introduction
The academic units of English houses experienced local and foreign qualified faculty members, who are competent in a wide range of English linguistic and literary fields.
Our academic units offer highly competitive skill-based undergraduate and postgraduate programs in English. Through courses, students are prepared to undertake the rigors involved in teaching and step up to the demands and challenges of the world. We are keen on developing the students’ critical and analytical abilities through education and various curricular and extra-curricular activities.
BS English, MPhil English Linguistics and PhD English Linguistics cover a variety of communication, interpersonal, academic, and research skills, enabling the students to perform well in the professional job market.
We have introduced culturally responsive and sustainable pedagogy while simultaneously acknowledging multilingualism/multiculturalism as a scaffold and a conduit for more enhanced learning. This approach promotes social cohesion, emphasizing the dynamic use of students’ linguistic repertoire to improve and make learning goals more attainable.
Our faculty members are trained to relate ontological, epistemological, and methodological aspects of the discipline with contextual examples. This helps students consolidate their learning and become independent learners in exercising their craft to solve everyday problems. Thus, each course moves gradually from theory to practice.
