Course Highlights :

The instruction in part II pays attention to Grammar, formal writing, and creative writing in an effort to give the students practical competence in the use of all language skills and also something to engage and widen their sympathies. It is a course designed to help students face the competitive examinations for careers and also to provide them with a system of values.

At the Post-graduate level, there are papers of high Literary content and Literary training and also papers of professional interest. Papers such a Research Methodology, Journalism, English Language Teaching, and Commonwealth Literature and Advanced Literary Criticism, Regional Indian Literatures in Translation, Women's Writing, etc, give students an introduction to subjects that they would have to tackle in higher courses. These also help them to face successfully competitive tests like NET and SLET. The project work helps the students to put to use the knowledge of Research Methodology they have gathered in the Methodology paper.

The M.Phil. course in English Literature offers papers on recent literature and recent literary criticism, both theory and practice. The project work can be on any author/aspect of British, American, Commonwealth or Indian writing, or any aspect of ELT or Linguistics.

There is a Language Laboratory which helps students of the Post-graduate and M.Phil. students and also under-graduate students to hone their skills in phonetics and other such aspects of English.

The Department has a band of dedicated veteran teachers.
