1. Preamble Literature makes sense of the world through works of poetry, prose, fiction,
and drama. It is a gateway to the varied human experiences, both past and present.
Therefore it brings focus to human nature, their values, morals, beliefs, ideologies,
culture and practices. It fosters social justice and equality and teaches the need to think
logically and critically. Studying Literature in a STEM world remains relevant as it alone
can offer an understanding of the many forces that shape and rule human lives and
appreciate them, to bring about a balance in societies. Literature as a field of study
involves the study of texts and thus differs from reading literature for pleasure. A study
of English Literature refers to the study of literatures in English and in translation, from
around the world. This allows knowledge of social and political history, philosophy,
ideologies, culture, aesthetics and literary traditions across the world. Literary texts also
offer linguistic inputs to help learners acquire the skills for English language
development and improvement. It facilitates one to interpret language better and
enhance communication skills in English. The transferable skills thus developed are
competencies required globally in the 21century workplace. With the digital era
ascertaining the presence of the English language, it has once again established itself
as a world language and therefore an appreciable proficiency in using it can leverage
life skills and career opportunities. Reading and studying English Literature will continue
to stay relevant as long as human experiences and the English Language dominate the
world.
2. Programme Learning
Outcome
The BA English Programme includes relevant core courses that are progressively
introduced to acquire an overall exposure to English Literature from Britain to the
Literatures in the English Language across the world, including India. At the same
time, each course based on nationality distinguishes one literature from another.
Allied courses will give the required background knowledge for an effective
understanding of the core courses offered. Basic critical theories and approaches
required to evaluate literature are also introduced. Courses in the various aspects of
the English Language will introduce the students to its origin, structure and
linguistics, grammar and usage that help to develop comprehensive written and
communication skills. The Electives will enable the students to make choices in
