The Department of English has structured its semester courses to encourage proficiency in the use of the language for oral and written communication, and to develop advanced functional and applied skills. The focus is on training students in academic writing, textual, editorial and bibliographical skills. This should help them in careers in academics (research, school level and college level teaching), publishing, journalism and web-content writing, to name a few.

The courses use literary texts originally written in English as well as texts translated into English from European, Indian and other Asian/South Asian languages to develop skills of literary analysis and critical interpretation. The primary intention is to extend the range of texts and to incorporate into the study of English as a discipline, contemporary socio-cultural realities pertaining to the context in which English Literature is being taught and learnt in the Indian classroom.
