Bachelor of Arts in English

The Department of Languages under the College of Arts and Sciences (CAAS) of IUBAT-International University of Business Agriculture and Technology was basically established to offer English proficiency courses and other training courses in order to help the students  gain effective English language skills to cope with their academic studies of the different colleges and departments in 1991. The department endeavors to offer the Bachelor of Arts in English, which can be one of the degree-awarding programs of the university. Shared works with Osmania University, India, and West Illinois University, USA, Queensland University, Australia, Simon Fraser University, Canada and Louisiana State University, USA have been started to set up a worldwide scholarly connection, which will eventually thrive the program. Three external scholars from these overseas universities as of now assessed the curriculum of the proposed BA in English program.

The Department of Languages has a large complement of faculty members to carry out teaching, training and research in the fields of English Language and English Literature. The faculty members are committed and dedicated to the development of the department. They  obtained their higher degrees in the fields of English Language/Applied Linguistics/ELT and English Literature from the renowned universities in Bangladesh while some obtained PhD degrees from foreign renowned universities.

  Our research, classroom teaching, and other activities are centered mainly on the study of literature, linguistics, western thoughts, sociopolitical history of Europe and Asia etc. In-depth study of cultural texts provides opportunities to visualize the societies and the lives exist there. A close study of aspects of linguistics builds a wide range of skills and competencies.  The general courses groom the learners to be holistically sound.

We guide our undergraduate students exploring themselves to be a proactive agent and meaning makers who believe in brining changes both in personal life and community by building themselves as different. The study of literature takes them to the world of creativity and imagination and makes them familiar with diverse socio-cultural differences.

We believe in knowledge sharing and knowledge transformation from our generation to the next one. We train our teachers and staff to ensure their maximum personal and professional development. In case of recruitment, retention and academic strategies, we always make sure the inclusion of highly qualified education professionals from home and abroad.

We make our students ethically responsible and able to respond creatively in the field of English language, Literature, Applied Linguistics and ELT. We engrain the skills that allow them to communicate, collaborate and problem-solve and prepare them for both professional and academic job opportunities that are available in local, regional and global job markets. At present, there are 20 dedicated faculty members who offer a variety of learning experiences to the students.  We strongly believe that our graduates will have successful professional careers in the local, regional global organizations by  demonstrating  intense professionalism and  upholding professional, social and ethical values that are highly valued across the world.
