The history of the English Department is inextricably linked with that of a college. It has been one
of
the prominent departments of the college since 2013, beginning with an undergraduate programme in
English Literature. Innovation has always been the hallmark of the Department. The Postgraduate
programme was introduced in 2017. With a team of dedicated members headed by Dr.I.Joseph Suresh, the
department continues to explore new avenues in its pursuit of excellence. The learning environment
is
enhanced by the use of OHP and efforts are taken to ensure that the learning process is innovative
and
progressive giving due importance to problem-based learning.
Assignment and other learning
activities
are set in line with the approach. Peer learning, remedial class, mentoring and value education,
student
-centric participatory learning and proper grievance redressal further ensure the holistic
development
of students. Department assures that workshops, conference and seminars are conducted at regular
intervals across the academic year. The English Literary Association, innovatively called FLO
(Festive
of Literary Orchids) is an initiative of the students of the English Department. FLO was inaugurated
on
13th February 2019. All literary and related activities of the department are co-ordinated by
organising
committee of FLO. Coaching for NET (National Eligibility Test) is a recent initiative of the
department.
