History of the Department

The Department of English started its journey in 2003 by introducing General course. It obtained the approval for introducing Honours course in English in 2006. Besides students’ interest in opting for Honours courses in Bengali and Geography, there has been a huge demand amongst students for choosing English as Honours subject. At present, there are 102 sanctioned seats for three yearHonours courses. The faculty of the department consists of two full time teachers and four SACTs (State Aided College Teacher). Many students have graduated from the Department of English as Honours and General candidates and placed themselves in higher studies. Moreover, many students of the department have established themselves in various sectors, especially as accomplished teachers in various H.S. schools and degree colleges. They have been in touch with the department as alumni. Besides teaching, the department regularly organizes various co-curricular activities like seminars, debates, and group discussions. These activities help the students to prepare for the higher studies as well as for their future placement in the competitive job markets. The students are also encouraged to nurture their creativities through the departmental Wall Magazine and teachers guide them properly in this regard. Above all, the faculty members are always ready to render all possible assistance and guidance to students inside and outside the campus as and when required.

Vision and Mission

The Department of English is one of the oldest departments of Dr. MeghnadSaha College.
The undergraduate programme in English has been designed to provide students with a strong foundation in English Literature. Covering a wide range of texts, authors, movements, literary trends, theories and schools of criticism, the course equips students for further study and research in the subject.
It is also intended to be proactive and to make the study of literature exciting and challenging. Students are encouraged to participate in the teaching-learning process to develop their skills for original, independent and analytical thinking and appreciation.
As the college is situated in a rural area and most of the students live in various villages surrounding the college, the department has catered to the needs of these rural students. Besides these, various experimental teaching methods have been incorporated within the teaching-learning mechanism to develop the literary understanding of these rural students towards English studies.
Strategies of teaching include the lecture method, audio-visual techniques, student seminars and class discussions.

Honours Program

Objectives of Honours Program

Appreciating literature and the significance of humanities in general and literature in particular in human life as well as education.
The course helps build and improve critical thinking skills. Analysing situations, learning to find symbols, make connections, find themes, learn about characters lead to a capability to look with a larger sense of detail and depth and realize the importance of hidden meanings. This is turn increases the critical thinking skills of the students. Students will demonstrate the ability to think critically about the ways in which various aspects of identity, subject positions, and affiliations—including but not limited to race, gender, class, and sexuality—inform the development of national, transnational, and international literary traditions.
All literature, whether it be poems, essays, novels, or short stories, helps us address human nature and conditions which affect all people. Thus, it leads to an understanding of humanity.
Literary works often ask students to think in complex ways, to hold sometimes contradictory, or apparently conflicting ideas in their minds. This kind of processing helps the students to be more mentally flexible and agile—open to new ideas.
Students are taught English communication which is required for jobs in public sphere as well as private sector jobs. Government jobs compulsorily require a felicity in English language, while private sector jobs too put emphasis on the literacy of the employees in the English language. Through studying the course, particularly through the writing practice the course entails through its assignments and projects and answers, the students gain a mastery over the language which they may use while looking for a job.

Teaching Methods

Internal assessment The Department of English regularly organizes Internal Assessment for the students. This kind of evaluation procedure helps to students to have a deeper knowledge about the subject. Besides this, the internal assessment procedure divides the syllabus in smaller parts and assesses the individual student’s development in the selected part of the syllabus. The continuous process of evaluation also prepares the student for the final examination.

Group Discussion For the complete development of the students both in the curricular as well as co-curricular activities, the Department of English arranges regular group discussion among the students. The students of a particular batch are divided into number of groups. They are encouraged to present their individual opinions and to share it with their group mates. This kind of teaching methodology is a part of a participatory learning process. It also helps the slow learners in better understanding of the subject.

Quiz Quiz is a very important teaching methodology to engage the student with the informative aspect of the subject. As a participant in the quiz, the student is also motivated to study the topic in more details. Keeping in mind the popularity of quiz, the Department of English organizes quiz for each batch of students to make learning more enjoyable as well as engaging for them.

Participatory Learning The Department of English has developed multiple methods of participatory learning for the students. The department organizes regular group discussion among the students to encourage them to develop their individual opinion about the curricular as well as co-curricular topics. Besides this, the Department arranges for Central Library visits for the students, so that the students can develop the habit of participatory learning by using the library resources. Departmental Exhibition is also organized by the department at regular intervals where the students participate t make various models, charts, posters etc. to represent a particular topic from their syllabus. It would help them to understand the subject in a more interactive way.

Strategies for slow learners Participatory learning is very useful for the slow learners. They are incorporated into the various study groups in which the advanced learners engage with them and help them to understand the topic. Besides the regular internal assessment, remedial classes are also arranged by the Department of English for the slow learners where they are encouraged to clear their doubts about the curriculum.

The Department of English believes in participative learning and experiential learning. The classroom is completely ICT enabled for the benefit of the students, so that proper teaching-learning environment is created.

Other than this, the department also provides to its students a departmental library where a small but useful number of books are kept.

Students are provided notes on a dedicated portal from where they can access the study materials as per their needs. The portal is very interactive and student friendly where students can post their queries and the teachers duly attend to their queries.The teachers have regular access to the N-LIST, so they can be updated with recent researches, International and National level journals and reputed books.
