Welcome to the English Department !

English has become the lingua franca of the modern world.  Are you ready for the future ?

As members of the English Department, we hope to help all of our students to become  fluent and confident in English.  In our classes we emphasize :

  • active student participation
  • reading and discussion of articles, novels, stories, poems ... from Shakespeare  and Hemingway to The New York Times
  • listening comprehension and speaking: pair work, group work, songs, classical movies such as Romeo and Juliet and modern movies such as  About A Boy
  • writing stories, essays, reports, letters, articles
  • intercultural learning: literature, history, sociology and arts of Africa, India, Australia, the U.K., Ireland, the USA, Canada and many other countries
  • an open, yet critical attitude
  • developing self-confidence as an English speaker !
