History of the English Department

8/14/2019 DFT 2.docx


5

The need for a Department of English was felt as far back as 1932 on the occasion of the Golden Jubileeof the University of the Punjab. Even earlier, two British Professors (??? Capitalization of P???), Dr OliverElton and Dr Daniel Jones had visited Lahore with the specific purpose of creating interest in Englishliterature and language. The University of the Punjab had the tradition of coordinating the teachingresources available in various colleges in Lahore for a range of subjects including English. Following theformation of Pakistan, there was a change in policy and the University (?? capitalization) began toestablish its own teaching departments to impact postgraduate education.

The Department of English Language & Literature was created through a proposal placed by the ViceChancellor of the University before the Syndicate at a meeting held on November 10, 1962. ProfessorSiraj-ud-Din (Doesn’t even make sense who’d like sirajudin like this???) was the founder and the firstHead of the Department.

The English Department [Why department is capitalized or should be capitalized] has graduallyprogressed to include six different programmes relating to Literature, Linguistics *why capitalize ‘L’+ , ELTand Spoken Language Skills.

The library of the Department houses approximately 22,000 books and every year it is enriched withrecent publications in the area of Literary Criticism, Classical and Contemporary Literature, Postcolonial,and American Literature. There is also a separate section for books/journals on Linguistics and ELT. TheDepartment publishes two journals annually —the journal of English Studies, and the Journal of Research(Humanities), which is an indexed and abstracted journal recognized by the HEC. In addition to thesetwo journals, the Department publishes an annual newsletter titled dream seekers . Capitalize

Guest speakers are invited to lecture on their area of expertise, films on literary works are shown, andworkshops and seminars related to literature and language are organized on a regular basis. Studentsare encouraged to organize extracurricular activities and participate in community work. [PATHETIC!!!!!EVERY INSITUTION DOES THAT??? I DON’T LIKE THIS SENTENCE]
