Mission

We seek to impart knowledge through creative pedagogy in a way that provides its students a firm grounding in the various areas of English Studies: literature, linguistics, language, and culture. While retaining links with the intellectual anchorage of the past, the pivotal point of our mission is to stay alive to the turns and needs of the fast-changing times and conduct innovative research. By expanding the students’ intellectual horizons, sharpening their critical acumen, and enhancing their communicative competence, the department aims to lead its students into the future with the right academic, social, and moral credentials.
