Department of English
The Dept. of English in St. Dominic’s College came into existence along with the
establishment of the college in 1965 as a junior college with various Pre degree
batches. Later , when the college was upgraded to a first grade college with
several U G courses, the dept.was assigned the task of teaching Part 1 English to
these Undergraduate courses. The Dept. became a full-fledged one in 1999 when
a U G Programme in English was sanctioned to the College by the Mahatma
Gandhi University in the stream of Model II Vocational Module along with the
conventional literature Module as part of the Govt. policy of vocationalising
Degree Programmes. This was meant to be a foundational programme for those
students who aspire for teaching along with their degree in English Language and
Literature.
The Programme has a span of three years spread over six semesters. It includes an
Internship of two weeks teaching practice at different schools and institutions to
enhance their employability skills. The learning environment is enforced by
earnest endeavours taken to ensure the quality and progress of students.
Assignments and other extension activities are set in line with the academics.
Bridge Courses, Remedial Classes, Peer Learning, Value Education Classes and
Student Centric participatory learning equip our students to perform well. Literary
Programs are regularly conducted to ensure the holistic development of students.
Book Club, Film Review Club, Quizzard (monthly quiz program) and Phoenix (Skill
Development Program) are conducted for students. Another innovative venture
of the department is a half yearly Newsletter - The Lens,which promotes language,
literature and creative perspectives. The department also offers specialized skill-
based programs. Students who are employed in various prominent fields stands
as a testimony to the efforts of the department in developing responsible,
creative and socially sensitive citizens.
