  • To engage learners with representative literary and cultural texts within a variety of aesthetic, historical, geographical, and cultural contexts. 
  • To train students in the application of theoretical approaches to the reading and analysis of literary and cultural texts to understand the way in which ideas, values, and themes inform and impact culture and society, now, in the past as well as in the future.  
  • To generate capacity building in ethically gathering, understanding, evaluating and synthesizing knowledge from a variety of written and electronic sources and eventually strive to publish their work in established journals.
