M.A. in Applied English was introduced in 1998 under the aegis of Faculty of
Education and Allied Sciences.
The focus of the Department is on
multi-dimensional development of students. Keeping the all round development of
students in view, we adopt a cohesive, realistic, highly motivational teaching
strategy to train and teach the students. Modern technology like Language
laboratory and other audio- visual aids are regularly used to equip the students
with linguistic competence.
The syllabus has been designed as per
UGC’s latest model curriculum with the purpose to provide exposure and
sensitivity to students towards literature and to prepare them for employability
in other sectors, along with conventional teaching job.
The syllabus is also modified on time
to time as per the requirements of job- market.
Another special feature of the course is that along with all the papers of
English literature, which are prescribed for M.A. English students, M.A. Applied
English has incorporated some job-oriented, applied papers. The same augments
the ability of students by nurturing their latent inherent talents and chiseling
their linguistic skills. Technical papers like Phonetics and Spoken English,
Scientific and Technical Writing (Research Methodology), Creative Writing and
Translation etc. provide additional skill to students and address following
purposes:
i. To improve fluency and accuracy of students in English by encouraging
constant interaction between students and teachers.
ii. To impart exposure regarding research procedure and to enable them to
adopt practical approach while selecting topic for research and to familiarize
them with research methodology.
iii. To acquaint the students with the theory and practice of translation : From
Hindi to English and vice- versa.
iv. To focus on the personality
development
of students through regular
Group Discussion, Seminar and personal interaction
