About the Department

The Department of English offers courses in both language and literature to the students at IHE. Those enrolled in Home Science (Pass and Honours), Microbiology, Biochemistry, Food Technology and Journalism are taught English communication skills as part of the compulsory AECC paper, in the first year of their undergraduate studies. The curriculum aims to improve the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills of the students with the aim of preparing them to face the challenges of higher studies or of a work environment.
The department also offers an English literature course as a Liberal Option to the students enrolled in the B.El.Ed programme, in the second and third year of their undergraduate studies. The focus of the curriculum is to acquaint students with a wide array of literary works, from the 16 century onwards to the present day. The students are trained to develop their analytical and critical abilities and fine tune their writing skills, in order to address their professional needs and requirements as future educators
