English Major Courses for the four-year BA in English aim at developing students’ foundational knowledge of English literature, critical tradition, and interpretive practices. These courses will help inculcate in them a spirit of inquiry, critical thinking, and a taste for appreciating literature, besides improving their communicative, analytical, research, and writing skills. The syllabus, by thus consolidating and strengthening the base, looks forward to the specialized study of literature at the Master’s and levels thereafter.
The syllabus, which incorporates current global trends in English Studies while remaining attentive to the national/local needs, envisages the following broad objectives or outcomes.
Upon the completion of BA English Major Courses, students will be able—
to provide a broad understanding of English literature, including the heuristics for reading and writing critically about it,
to embrace and appreciate the core humanistic values—integrity, empathy, and respect to differences,
to comprehend and appreciate literatures belonging to different cultural and national traditions,
to acquire necessary knowledge and skills to undertake serious literary and cultural studies independently,
to recognize the historical formation of ideas, traditions, and social practices,
to analyze and understand an issue from multiple perspectives, and
to develop competency in researching, communicating, and problem-solving.
