English as a global language which is engrossing and gaining momentum day-by-day, is considered a significant necessity in tertiary education and job market. Accordingly, the Department thinks all its undergraduates should excel in communication skills in English to enter and function well in the extremely competitive professional world. In pursuit of this aim, the Department intends to instil in students the notion of life-long learning. To guarantee a healthy growth of language abilities, the four pillars of language acquisition namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing together with grammar and vocabulary are interwoven into teaching.
The Department offers a variety of courses that deliver English for general and specific purposes through which real-life learning, interaction and collaboration are encouraged. In addition, the courses intend to develop the students’ intellectual curiosity, analytical and interpretative thinking skills and to broaden their perspectives via extensive and rigorous reading.
We as a forward-looking Department have integrated the newest technologies to our teaching programmes to deliver successful English language courses in both physical and virtual classrooms. The Department is committed to provide the undergraduates the best language learning experience while maintaining a great rapport with them, which in turn inspires them to strive for the best.
