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.
