The program in English ( Applied Linguistics) cultivates the ability to peruse critically and
creatively—to see the value in the power and domain of language to shape thought and address
the world—to be delicate to the manners by which literature is produced
The importance of language in itself and in literature cannot be overlooked. It is language
through which literature is pictured and presented for the world. The study of literature remains
incomplete without focusing on the delicacies of the language in which it is expressed. Language
is inherently loaded with ideological meanings and understanding these imports of ideals
requires an inquisitive mind, assisted by appropriate knowledge. The department of English aims
at equipping the students with knowledge of linguistics, simultaneously introducing them to the
aesthetics of literary studies, and infusing an interest in research
The program aims at developing learners’ ability to critically read and analyze linguistics and
literary texts in their historical, socio-political, cultural, and philosophical contexts combined
with aesthetic pleasure and intellectual stimulation. We seek to propagate freedom of inquiry and
creativity through scholarship and learning of highest caliber among leaders of the future. The
methodical approach to teaching is eclectic, offering courses in classical, modern, postmodern,
and contemporary literature. The carefully chalked out scheme of study equally accentuates
linguistics; introducing new streams in terms of rhetoric and critical discourse. The program
structure is flexible and diverse to cater to the needs of the contemporary job market and student
interests at the same time. Study of literature is blended with the study of English language with
the aim of improving the linguistic and pedagogical competence of our students.
Our undergraduate program introduces a range of subjects that not only induce the spirit of
learning and exploration, but also provides our students with a multi-dimensional world-view
that inspires lifelong habits of critical thinking and compassionate understanding required for
wholesome existence. While linguistic studies deal with the contours of communicative
mediums, literature caters to instinctive understanding of life, encompassing a channeled arrays
of cross-disciplinary concepts related to social, psychological and historical understanding, thus
creating an influx of a sufficiently compact knowledge-base.
