At the heart of our BA English program lies a commitment to engaged and dynamic instruction that transcends the traditional lecture-based model. While our faculty utilize this time-honoured pedagogical approach, they are encouraged to keep students actively participating through facilitated class discussions, thoughtful feedback, and opportunities for collaborative dialogue.

 

To further enrich the learning experience, our professors employ the various features of Blackboard, our virtual learning platform. Here, students will find forums for online discussions, supervised by faculty, as well as an opportunity to engage in creative assignments. In-class exercises that hone students’ writing abilities are also a cornerstone, allowing for real-time guidance, feedback, and engagement.

 

Beyond the classroom, supplementary workshops and seminars will be offered to address students’ specific learning needs and interests. This responsiveness to students needs is a hallmark of our approach, as we empower learners to take an active role in shaping their educational journey.

 

As a student in our BA English program, your learning will be assessed through a variety of methods, including exams, class discussions, online activities, and creative assignments such as data analysis projects, essays, stories, and presentations. You will also engage in both individual and group work, ranging from research presentations and role-playing exercises to analytical reports and writing demonstrations. This multifaceted approach to evaluation ensures a well-rounded assessment of your progress, while simultaneously nurturing the key transferable skills sought after by employers, such as critical thinking, effective communication, and collaborative problem-solving.
